...yes it's cold. yes, you are getting tired of winter. yes, you just want it to be over.
i don't.
i just know that the first 90 degree day that we have i am going to be wishing for a nice -7 degrees.
no sweat.
instead of complaining about the weather, how about being thankful you are here on this earth? with food in your belly and a roof over your head!
and if you still feel like complaining, how about look into selling your house and moving south so that the rest of us can enjoy our weather?!

something to think about.

Las Vegas Tragedy

October 2017 Las Vegas Tragedy I am proud to be a lifetime NRA member. And it blows my mind that there are those who think that we need more laws to prevent what happened in Las Vegas a couple of days ago. I'd like them to tell me specifically what law they would enact that would have prevented Paddock from doing what he did. And they can't! Because there is no way it could have been prevented. Laws don't stop people like him! I hope they do a complete and thorough autopsy on him to see if he was dying or suffering from some condition. It will be interesting to find out what we are told was his reason! Anyhoo... I have a Concealed Carry permit and am proud to say that I can defend myself! I firmly believe that there should be gun safety classes taught in schools so that children become aware that a gun is not inherently bad in and of itself. I also think that teachers and custodians and other school workers should all be allowed to carry guns.

A Reader's Celebration

I am going through my books and re-reading them and deciding which ones to keep and which ones to sell or donate so that my children won't have to do that when I am gone. Years ago I did that and settled on keeping only three of my favorite authors: Maud Hart Lovelace, Booth Tarkington, and Ed McBain/ Evan Hunter. A while back I decided to give all my Lovelace books to  my oldest daughter  who shares my love of the Betsy-Tacy series. I also gave her my set of Betsy, Tacy, and Tib dolls that I had purchased 30 years ago. I sold my entire set of the "Matthew Hope" series by Ed McBain on eBay a while back. I will soon be listing my entire set of the "87th Precinct" mystery series also by Ed McBain. Ed McBain and Evan Hunter are one and the same person. The books he wrote as Evan Hunter are all so different. I have to re-read them all first before I will be ready to sell them. I a

A Sporting Life!

You didn't know I've had sports in my life, did you! Here are the seven "sports" I dabbled in. 1.- I actually never did learn to swim. But I enjoyed going to the local pool and watching other people swim. I even got in and bobbed around so long as I didn't have to get my face wet! 2.- My cousin Mary Beth and I used to play badminton on our front lawn. We made up our own rules. I just remember that if you returned the birdie UNDER the net, that was a "hoover" and counted double. 3.- I had those metal roller skates you attached to your shoes using a skate key. Our sidewalks had lots of bumps and so did our driveway, so I wasn't able to get very good at it. 4.- I taught myself to ride a bike. It was old and it was blue and it had big fat tires. I used to make myself a sandwich and ride out to the cemetery so I could have lunch on the podium where the mayor gave a speech every Memorial
