Friday Thoughts
Just because I am short on time today, I thought I’d post some brief thoughts I have this Friday. Hmmmmm??? What shall I post? I am writing from a public library! We still need libraries! Besides books, they now offer movies, music, entertainment (speakers), and this one is having a sale on puzzles! I will…
A Real Slice of Life: Wear Your Boots!
Very often I write about something that is on my mind, something that concerns me, or something I treasure. This includes my gardens, the state of education in the U.S., our environment, insomnia, and other things that occur to me on a regular basis. I ruminate a lot. But, today, I was inspired by the…
The First of July
Today, I did not blog. Oh, no, I did not. Monday, is not a day to write a slice. Or, a day to take a poetic stance. Tuesdays and Friday’s are the days for writing of those types of prose. July is here – how fast it did arrive! Holiday foods and fests with flags…

Most of his speech was motivational and inspirational for the 433 young artists and their family members who…
A Triple “D” experience in D.C.
While we were recently in D. C. We decided to try and get to one of the restaurants in the area that had been visited by Chef Guy Fieri of the Diners, Drive-in’s, and Dives television show on the Food Network. I started by surfing the internet for how many such places there were in…
Experts who don’t listen to other experts…..Are you one?
When experts don’t listen to other experts, it is frustrating. A couple of weeks ago, I was on an outing where I was definitely in a supportive role for most of it. Although my position called for me to be in an official leadership role, I realized that I wasn’t, almost immediately. After a few…
A Celebration of American Art
Part of my family is on a trip to Washington D.C. to celebrate art. After arriving yesterday, we relearned the ins and outs of the metro rail. We arrived at our hotel, ate a late lunch, and headed out into the city in late afternoon. Our first stop? The American Art Museum! We neglected to…
