Lemon Bars

MM – 3/25

It’s that time again! Get your thinking cap on and post a song for today’s Music Monday. I chose this song by Chris Stapleton not only for the song/sound but because it is fitting. Where did spring go? It’s cold, windy, and rainy with chance of snow showers later tonight. Ugh!

Morning Civatar, another start of a new week. I am hoping for a somewhat quiet day today after a bit of a headache of a weekend, but we will see how the day progresses. I hope you enjoy today’s music choice. The singer reminds me a bit of Amy Winehouse, Phil Collins, and a little […]

Music Monday 3/11

Back to another Monday. Mondays are always busy days here, but the days are getting so they are all busy. I’m not sure who all will be over today, but I will still need to do a bit of housework before the morning gets too far gone. Feel free to post a song for Music […]

Somehow, I knew this day wasn’t going to get off to a good start when I got only around 3 hours of […]

Friendship

Never more evident in today’s society, and the people we come across in our lives, both personally and on-line. One tries to be a true friend by honesty and integrity and being there for someone and a lot of times telling them the truth which they don’t often want to hear. What they do with […]

Monday 3/3

Another Monday has rolled around, and I’ll be busy doing some housework and listening for the door and phone, and for folks to arrive. I always hope for a quiet day, but it can be a bit hectic thru the week. It’s always a game of wait and see what materializes. Being Monday that means […]

Attention, Attention…

Well, now that I have your attention,… a blog on/about attention as if it needed any clarification. One cannot log on-line this past weekend without being bombarded with politics or celebrities. I’m sure you have all read or seen the story headlines on the millions of dollars Rihanna received for performing for a rich billionaire’s […]
