We went to a few yard sales on our way to fishing this weekend and found an estate sale at a house that was built at around 1790. It was so cool! These two older ladies (I think they were sisters) had everything from old paintings to r

They are now saying that there is a sun "the size that would take a conventional airplane 12 years to circle" out there somewhere! They are now saying that we are sub-particles that mean that we might have a part of our being (our physical bodie

I want to express something but am not sure how I want to do that as I write this. There is just something I have to say. It's kind of a double-edged kind of thing. I know......we do not really "know" each other. (sometimes we do, if w

I've lost me mind, folks! I up and decided to go pick up an application where I've worked the last three years during the Spring, Summer and Fall (I always quit during the winter as Homey don't do snow and ice). I don't even know why I went to

I recently bought a copy of the book "Toys" by James Patterson & Neil McMahon for a quarter at a flea market (wondering about so many books with sub-authors by such greats as James Patterson) but the reason I am writing this post is a kind of funny

Have any of you noticed the old-fashioned "meter reader" in your yard lately? We haven't. All we have seen is the electric co-op truck go by slowly. Maybe they are pointing a new-fangled device at our new computerized/digital meters or maybe they are

I am having a devil of a time trying to save my work on discs, and now it's not because I don't know how. (I finally figured it out on my own) The problem is that I have so much editing every time I work on it that I have to "re-save" things ev

I was shocked and almost but not amused at this story as I can't believe the "allowed nap time" of a pilot. When I am putting myself into the hands of a pilot of a plane, I need them to be wide awake, stoked on coffee, and ready for anything from a gna

How does someone go from 500 plus users down to less than 20? I don't wander away due to things like that, but it does have me confused. And now I see that I have 22 now. Two more people must have started from the bottom of something? Just wondering

I just got through talking to one of my sisters on one of our marathon conversations and somehow the subject came up about our Dad, who I never really knew as I was really little when he and my mom separated. I was surprised not long ago to lear

This is a photo I was lucky enough to take yesterday of a rainbow. The sun was out and it was sprinkling rain that felt just like the water coming off a sprinkler a few feet away. It felt surreal! About the time the sprinkles stopped tickling my skin

I've taken notice of the idea that a beautiful painting or a beautiful photo comes down to one thing--that there should be nothing taken away or nothing added to make it what we define as "perfect." I am trying so hard to make this theory work i

JUST WANTED TO MAYBE MAKE SOMEONE LAUGH OUT THERE````````````` Do you ever drive down the road, look in the rear view mirror and realize you need to do some nose maintenance before you go into a store? You look around for a tissue, and if you d

I keep watching all these science docs about how there are "billions of universes" out there. First, how do we KNOW, when we can only see nearby to our tiny planet, so far? We claim to only be able to see nearby, but they (whoever they are) mus

This is just me fooling around with how to navigate on photos to flickr to here.... I had a great day awhile back watching hubby sitting on a floating boat ramp and just relaxing and fishing. I had my sketch pad and pencils, so I spent the time
