Well, it’s that time of year…you know it’s hot! To give you a little background on my annual post, I started the series ‘You know it’s hot when’…way back in 2008. Obviously it was HOT and my son was very ill. The heat didn’t help. I started rambling…you know it’s hot when…and he started laughing. […]
Bureaucracy is a French word. Period. This is what Wikipedia has to say about it: The term “bureaucracy” is French in origin, and combines the French word – bureau – desk or office – with the Greek word Kratos – rule or political power. It was coined in the mid-18th century by the French economist […]
Yes, my traveling man is 35 today. Happy, happy birthday J.W. I don’t believe birthdays end when someone you love dies. SO, as long as I live…WE CELEBRATE! I find it unbelievable that this is your third birthday in Heaven. I was talking to a “friend” (I know you are reading between the lines) the […]
It’s the trick, trickiest time of the year! It’s also the last post of 2017 unless a miracle occurs. I believe in miracles so you never know. The last post I found my Ho Ho Ho. A few days ago I lost HO one and HO two. I was at the dentist’s office to visit […]
The HO HO HO is back. The last three years I haven’t felt like decorating for Christmas. It’s not about the decorations anyway. Last year when I began the “get out of Dodge” house purge, I gave away the majority of our decorations. I should say MY decorations since Ray came into the marriage with zero […]
What do I have in common with Rick Steves? Don’t laugh…I have more in common with Rick than you might imagine. Rick and I are around the same age (ok, I’m a wee bit older). As a teen, Rick discovered he could travel without his parents. I figured that out around the same age as […]
It seems frivolous to write a blog post when so much is going on in the world. This summer has been a nightmare for so many and certainly for our country. I could take it way back but I’ll begin with Charleston. Hatred, loss of life, a country divided. Horrific. A horrible example for the […]
I am borrowing ‘You know it’s HOT…the saga continues’ from my old blog. That is the beauty of having an old blog as I can borrow from it whenever I am too lazy, busy, or HOT. I’m claiming all three today. I’m honest if nothing else. Now, don’t be hating on me as this is […]
John Lennon has been an important part of my life for many years. As a young girl, I adored The Beatles. I loved John’s ‘tongue in cheek’ wit. As I grew older, I realized my sense of humor was a bit like his (OK, a lot like his BUT genetically speaking I was pre-programmed with […]
It has been ONE YEAR ( April 10th is the anniversary) since the creation of Chasing the Next Chapter. So much has happened since the first post. Some things I blog about, some things I don’t. If you have followed along, you know this blog came about from the death of my youngest son, J.W. […]
