I only know that I feel […]

Today my sister took possession of her new puppy, a Shorkie (Shih tzu Yorkie) mix, and she is over the moon. I totally understand why. What a cutie! Jackie named her Hope because she was born on our mother’s birthday in November (Mom’s name was Dorothea Hope at birth, which happened to be Thanksgiving

My worries at present are like snow flurries. They drop into view in my conscious mind; I evaluate them to decide how likely they are to actually happen, and then I let them fall to the ground, where they usually disappear. As a “due diligence” type of person, I take precautions when it comes

Last night, I drove to the Emerald Queen Casino (the one on Portland Avenue) to reconnect with a lady I met years ago when we both had vendor tables at holiday fairs. We’ve been friends on Facebook ever since. She was making jewelry back then at those holiday fairs. I bought some masculine jewelry at
