Hello......

I'm moving ahead.   I've missed you.   I've got a lot done since I last saw you.   Still, there's so much more to do.  Life goes on.   I wanted it to stop and wait for me, but noooo, it didn't.  I'm playing catch up, but at my own pace.  It keeps me sane.  Yes I'm not going crazy!   I have all the time in the world, yet I only have this moment.   So I wanted to stop in and say hello and thanks for all your thoughtful comments over the weeks since I've been gone.  Maybe I'll see you soon.

Peace

Later

I've made a decision to stop blogging for now. It's been a great ride. I've made some great friends and enjoyed it now for the past three years. I'll be back to visit all of you and comment when I can. You can email me if you'd like. I'll be sure to get back to you.

Ruby Tuesday

The Teach sponsors Ruby Tuesday.  If you want to participate just post a picture(it has to be one of your own) that has red in it.

I saw this car in the lot of the bank I went to the other day and wish I had my regular camera with me.  I shot this with my phone camera.  I was waiting to speak to the owner to see what kind of car this was or even what year.  I just thought it was so cool.  The owner didn't appear and I couldn't wait, so I just took the shot.    Happy Ruby Tuesday!!!!

Peace

Backkkkkkkkkkkk.

Actually I didn't go fishing.......but I did go.   Not to Tahiti :-( .  Just to the shore.  Hung out near the ocean and the sand with my umbrella and baseball cap in tow.   I love being around water.  I also love swimming in the ocean.  I've done that all my life.   But this week the undertow was so rough, I wouldn't even venture in.   Five people in the area drowned last weekend because of it.  I just took my lil beach chair to the edge of the water and let the water wash up on my feet.  Read my book, took deep breaths, all is well with world.  Almost.   I got body slammed onto the sand! Not once, twice!  I was just sitting there minding my own business positioning my beach chair in the sand with my butt...ya know wiggling down and anchoring it.....when I leaned back and the chair went too....with me in it!!!  Bam.  I've fallen and I can't get up!  Everyone I was with thought this was pretty amusing and they were laughing so hard no one came to give me a hand........was pretty funny.  I felt like an ass but hey, I'm happy to provide the entertainment.  Fast forward to after lunch.  We went and got a bar pie......came back and I sat down in the my chair and proceeded to put the umbrella back up. Lo and behold, a wind comes out of nowhere, swoops the umbrella and spins me around and plop, there I go again, over in my chair.......One of my friends yelled to her daughter to get the video going..........OMG if they ever got that on film I would have won America's Funniest Video!

Well, it looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do.  I see some memes to be done and awards to be posted and passed on........Hope your weekend is going great!

Peace

SEE YA SOON

Stunning Senior Moment

A self-important college freshman attending a recent football game took it
upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was
impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.

'You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one', the
student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. 'The young
people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man
walking on the moon. Our space probes have visited Mars. We have nuclear
energy, ships and electric and hydrogen cars, cell phones , computers with
light-speed processing.. .and more.'

After a brief silence, the senior citizen responded as follows:

'You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young....... .so
we invented them. Now, you arrogant little shit, what are you doing for the
next generation?'

The applause was amazing..... ..

Happy Dance Friday.

Cockles and mussels, alive alive o.........(dead, really)

Photo from S.I. Advance

This is the reason I didn't go walking (or anything else) on the beach yesterday.   Tens of thousands of mussels washed up on the beach over the weekend.  They say it stunk...I didn't get too near there so I don't know how bad it was.  But they were baking right there on the beach in 90 degree weather without the aid of a cook or slow boiling pots so I'm sure the smell was ripe!  Not only were there mussels, but there were flies and gnats and mosquitos (oh my), as a result.

The news claims it was a result  of hot weather and undercurrents (from Hurricane Bertha)

Happy Dance Wednesday!!!!!!!

It's that time again....when the heat gets me...I start halluciating.....:-) and imagining things....

Happy Monkey Monday!

Happy Monkey Monday!

Do you notice what's missing?   No doodle today. Does that make you happy?  Well, I'll get to doing more in case you miss em.  Hehe.

I spent most of the weekend in my friend's pool.   Was oppressively hot here, as I'm sure it has been everywhere.  The great part of this ...is........I don't have to get dressed for work and trudge into the city and sweat myself to death during the commute!  :-) 

I haven't been reading many blogs of late so I apologize if I haven't been to see you lately.  I'm just not on the computer much as of late.  But I'll be visiting soon.   So in the meantime, I wish you cool breezes, A/C and laughter!

Nude Runner

A woman was having a daytime affair while her husband was at work. One
rainy day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror, she heard her
husband's car pull into the driveway.
"Oh my God - Hurry! Grab your clothes and jump out the window. My
husband's home early!"
"I can't jump out the window. It's raining out there!"
"If my husband catches us in here, he'll kill us both!" she replied.
He's got a hot temper and a gun, so the rain is the least of your
problems!"
So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out the
window!
As he ran down the street in the pouring rain, he quickly discovered he
had
run right into the middle of the town's annual marathon, so he started
running along beside the others, about 300 of them.
Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to blend in
as
best he could. After a little while a small group of runners who had been
watching him with some curiosity, jogged closer.

"Do you always run in the nude?" one asked.
"Oh yes!" he replied, gasping in air. "It feels so wonderfully free!"

Another runner moved a long side. "Do you always run carrying your clothes
with you under your arm?"
Oh, yes" our friend answered breathlessly. "That way I can get dressed right
at the end of the run and get in my car to go home!

Then a third runner cast his eyes a little lower and asked, "Do you always
wear a condom when you run?"

"Nope........just when it's raining."

No Doodle Day

I don't have my doodle ready today.  I'll have to draw it and post it at a later date....I know, I know you were all looking forward to my work of art...and I'm sorry to disappoint you...ahahahaha.

Oh just so you know, the path of grief does not get better as time goes on....it's different, but not better....I've learned that I'm still walking in the wilderness.....I don't know when I'll come out into the sunlight again.....but I do see glimpses of light......I've joined a Bereavement Support Group...and it's the best thing I've done so far.  I'm really working on myself but I do have my mini breakdowns still...I just never know when they'll hit.  I miss him terribly.   

One thing I haven't lost tho, is my sense of humor.....he would want it that way.  

I'm off to a pool party/bbq today.   It's going to be super hot.   So I'll probably stay in the pool all day.  Here's a test to keep you busy:
