Daily is difficult for me, and weekly can be too slow. “Whenever” seems to be the way I post.

More Things I’ve Learned About Mountain Living

My education continues, along with NaNoWriMo avoidance… (3,630 words so far – I broke my rule about reading/editing  it before December and decreased my count by 780.)  Sigh.  I have NOT given up writing – just reading 😉

There is something suspicious about winter. People ask me “will this be your first winter up here?”  When I reply “Yes”, they smile and nod, then change the subject. I have seriously begun to stock my pantry.

Dramamine is my new best friend. Everywhere we go there is a nauseatingly twisted road to get there.

Retire as soon as you possibly can!! Knitting, in your pj’s, sipping hot coffee, by a blazing wood-burning stove, is heavenly. Especially so on a business day morning  😉

Just when you think I thought winter arrived, we have 80 degree temperatures for the next 3 weeks.

I still have a constant sinus headache. I’m going to start vaporizing myself. During nap-time.

                 Retiree Loses Her Mind

Partying Retiree

Ms. Betty Lou Harris embarrassed her friends on Thursday by behaving inappropriately at a riverboat luncheon.

Apparently, Betty Lou believed she was on a Caribbean cruise. She did the Hula and tried to teach everyone how to dance the Macarena.

Although disruptive, there were no altercations or injuries. One crew member told us, “Man, that old lady could party! Her legs were like a 20-year olds.”

After the boat docked, Ms. Harris’s friends took her to the nearest emergency room for evaluation.

No further information has been released.

Happy Birthday Dad & Mom!

I found this photo of my parents yesterday. It made me cry to see how healthy they were back in the mid 70’s.

My dad would rarely crack a smile for the camera, so this photo is truly precious.

Dad actually smiling in photo!
