Day 180: Next Best Thing
Usually I take the kids to Target for back-to-school shopping and let them pick out school supplies for themselves. They love Target, and they love shopping. I like taking them, too. Though it’s an exhausting trip, it helps them get … Continue reading
Day 179: Ignorance Is Bliss
I belong to several groups on Facebook that are for local issues, including schools, and they’re a great way to keep up with what’s going on in my community. There’s one group that deals with all sorts of town concerns, … Continue reading

Day 178: Drought
Knowing that some parts of the country are suffering from extreme heat, I wish that everyone in America could share in the wonderful temperatures we’ve been enjoying here. I feel almost guilty about how nice our weather has been in … Continue reading

I always page through old magazines before I recycle them. I look for interesting articles that I may have missed, as well as themes and quotes to use for work. As I was looking though the May/June issue of Rhode … Continue reading
Day 173: Thankfully Unread
I have read most of the Agatha Christie novels that feature Hercule Poirot, but not quite all. Many times over the last few years I’ve thought about finally finishing them off, but somehow I never did. I’m glad I left … Continue reading
Day 172: Swearing
Sometimes when I’m surprised or angry, I say “Fuggernuts!” or “Furganots!” in place of the usual vulgarities. I don’t know where these words came from, but I’ve noticed that I’m using them more often lately. There’s a lot to swear … Continue reading
