Monday Musings

The weather finally cooperated enough for a great Sunday morning bike ride. The paths were empty and for a moment a dragonfly was flying next to me setting the pace. There were signs of summer everywhere with trampolines and volleyball nets in yards, beautiful flowers along the path, classic convertible cars cruising and a perfectly…

Monday Musings

I promised myself when I was in the hospital missing one of my favorite seasons, winter, that I would never complain about the weather again, especially summer. I’m not going to complain about the two hour thunderstorm Saturday morning or the lightning strike in my driveway. I’m not going to complain about walking around a…

Nothing about last week went as planned, but some great news out of the week is that my oncologist said my tests show no lymphoma and I’ve had a tremendous response against my aggressive lymphoma and beat the odds so far. Also, I have a new camera and iPhone. Nothing about my following musings is…

Harper’s Favorite Toy of Every Day: Harper loves these little toys that I can only find at one store and while the duck is her favorite, she is also very happy when she gets a little turtle or cow and we stock up on them whenever possible. I’m not going to admit to how many…

A Dusting Of Snow

I really can’t believe how quickly we’re approaching the end of November and that I finally had to find my gloves and boots. It was a full week of appointments and after being in the hospital the week before I’m really looking forward to three days off before more tests and my treatment beginning in…

Thankful Thursday

This week I’m thankful for the arrival of October and finally a wonderful fall weather day yesterday. October Baseball is off to a fabulous start with the Detroit Tigers defeating the Houston Astros to advance the the Division Series and so far I think I’m up to about fifteen new book releases this month that…

Fall Mornings And Spooky Season Flops

Yesterday, for Friday the 13th I decided a spooky drink and movie was needed for the day and while I usually only include coffees and movies on this blog that I enjoy, I had to share these flops. I don’t think I’ve yet purchased a horror movie without my niece’s approval that has been good…
