Class Pictures

I’m thinking of starting a book club where we read books that we enjoyed as kids/young adults. Each month a different person will choose the book. After the group discusses it the person who chose the book will discuss why it was chosen and the impact it had. I think my friends may think it’sContinue reading “Class Pictures”

Coming in like a lion

I love the spring but sometimes I want it to slow down. I am happy that it is light out later (though not in the morning) but I feel like the spring rushes past and soon it’s summer. I like having a cold day, I like having some of the darkness. I haven’t finished myContinue reading “Coming in like a lion”

I’ll get to it

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done. My basement. I keep waiting for the right time to tackle it. I have some of my family’s stuff down there. I could probably throw everything away and no one would notice. I’ll get to it, someday

Lieberry

I’m old. Okay, not old but I lived before the internet. When I had to do school papers I would go to the library. I’d look up books in the card catalog, the Dewey Decimal system. As a kid my dad would take us once a month or so to the main library in ourContinue reading “Lieberry”

Back to School Days

September 1 6th grade: School is simple. A Okay, hot shot. School is often easy in the beginning, especially in elementary school. Well I guess that I like my attitude. 8th grade: I got a lot of school clothes from [sister’s] friend. 4 days to school Hand-me-downs. A good 75% of my wardrobe. I don’tContinue reading “Back to School Days”

Trailblazers

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why. True to my running name, what first came to mind are the women runners. The first official and unofficial runners. Katherine Switzer, Bobbi Gibb, Nina Kuscsik, Joan Benoit Samuelson. They forced their way into the Boston Marathon and other marathons. They proved that a womanContinue reading “Trailblazers”

August

I thought I had started an August post but I guess not. I did the grades as the ones I was about to go into. August 8 10th grade: We passed papers on our new house. Yeah! It was not the house I wanted, it was old and needed a ton of work. Other housesContinue reading “August”

80s kids

What TV shows did you watch as a kid? I watched a lot of shows with kids in it, makes sense. (I know that shows should be in quotes but I’m lazy today so forgive me) Diff’rent Strokes (why was it spelled like that?) was a favorite and I had a crush on Gary Coleman.Continue reading “80s kids”

Obsessed

What is a word you feel that too many people use? Ugh. I hear it from influencers and reality stars, and I don’t really follow any of them. It’s a fake word to me. You are not “obsessed” with a makeup brand, drink or clothing line. You like it, you enjoy it, it works wellContinue reading “Obsessed”

Peaceful Easy Feeling

What brings you peace? The beach. Walking along the beach; listening to the waves and seeing the sun rise or set. I was recently on vacation at the beach, there is so much peace being in the sand and smelling the ocean air. We sat on the beach one evening having wine and dinner. TheContinue reading “Peaceful Easy Feeling”
