Here’s another of those fun(?) surveys where you fill in the blanks and let your friends know more about you – so here are my answers, please send me yours! 1. What was I doing ten years ago? I had just moved into my dream house over Memorial Day weekend and was so excited with [...]

Parenting 101 2 comments
Every once in a while I get confirmation that maybe, just maybe, I did a decent job at something and today I got a double whammy! First my friend Vickie called and needed some parenting advice and I was very flattered that she asked my opinion. Vickie is a great friend because not only is she [...]
Practice Makes Perfect 1 comment
I’ve spent the last few days practicing for Life 2.0 and I think I’m getting the hang of it! I took a vacation day on Friday and we left bright and early for Des Moines on the motorcycle. While we didn’t encounter any rain I was sure glad we had our rain gear as I [...]
iGotta iPhone 1 comment
I did it – bit the bullet and went from my Crackberry to the iPhone – since I’ve only had it a couple of hours I’m still in the infancy stage and trying to figure out how the heck to use it. Just had Burl call me so I could test the ringtone (he’s set [...]
All Decked Out 2 comments
Ever since Burl bought a power-washer a few years ago he has threatened to power-wash our deck and refinish it. That was an idle threat until about a month ago when he actually started that project. Being the uninformed, clueless person that I am, I had no idea how much I “thought” I would enjoy [...]
Going Out in Style Leave a comment
My wonderful family threw a retirement party for me Saturday night and I wish I had instant replay so I could enjoy it all over again – it was such fun! Several friends couldn’t attend due to so many graduation events and vacations but on reflection I realized that for once at a party, I really got [...]
iWanna iPhone Leave a comment
The decision is made – I’m biting the bullet and choosing the iPhone over a Crackberry. After 4 years of being tethered to the B’berry I’ve done my research and decided the iPhone will suit my needs better in Life 2.0. I won’t need to answer the ubiquitous emails from work when I’m not there [...]
Pearls of Wisdom 2 comments
My second favorite comic strip (after “For Better or For Worse”) is “Pearls Before Swine” and after I read today’s offering, I knew I would quickly hear from Tammy who shares my warped sense of humor. True to form, Tammy did not disappoint and neither of us will ever hear Dean Martin’s famous song without [...]
Miss Primrose Place 2 comments
Today I had the distinct honor of serving as one of the judges for the Miss Primrose Place pageant. I thought perhaps I was chosen for my “mature” status since Primrose Place is the long-term nursing facility for CoxHealth but it turns out most of the judges were younger than my kids so looks like [...]
Happy Mother’s Day Leave a comment
It’s Mother’s Day which always evokes wonderful memories of my mother – I thought of her so much during church this morning and wish she had lived to meet Burl as I know they would have gotten along famously. She was a true lady who on occasion could tell a slightly off-color joke – she [...]
