I passed a pond yesterday filled with a flock of seagulls hanging out in the sun ad standing around on the frozen part of the pond. Ducks and and few geese were there too, including one very large white duck who had found family among the Mallards. I stood watching them, drinking in the sunshine […]
I’ve joined Amanda at Something To Ponder About in Proverbial Thursday this week. Mentsh Tracht und Gott Lacht. מענטש טראַכט און גאָט לאַכט Man Plans, God Laughs The origin of this Yiddish saying is found in Psalms 33:10 “God annuls the counsel of nations. He thwarts the designs of peoples.” Men may plan but God has […]
Thursday Special at Lost In Translation
This week’s theme is the chorus from the song You Are My Sunshine You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray (or in a black out with no heat and lights in November)
Michelle has changed the name of her Weekly Pet Challenge to a Weekly Pet Share- she says: For a while now the word “Challenge” has been bothering me, because this event (Michelle’s Weekly pet Challenge) is not a challenge, it is more about sharing photos of our lovely furry friends. I feel the word “share” […]
Are you a hugger or a non-hugger? I am a hugger big time. I think hugs can express more than words, more than a kiss. A hug can be to comfort someone when they are sad, or an embrace out of love and joy. A hug can reassure someone you are there. What’s your favorite […]
Shadowed
If we were having coffee, I would tell you the sunrise this morning was stunning. A mix of pinks and blues coming up behind the trees. It’s been bitter cold here, and this morning is no exception. It’s 20 degrees, but it is supposed to warm up into the 30’s. A reprieve! The birds arrived […]

Lost In Translation – Black & White Sunday
This is the first photo that comes to mind when I think of laughter. It is of me and my sister circa 1983. I don’t know what struck us so funny, but I love that someone caught us in the moment. Ailsa’s Travel Theme at Where’s My Backpack

Oasis A sanctuary is a place you can escape to, to catch your breath and remember who you are. Write about the place you go to when everything is a bit too much. When I need to clear my head I walk. No matter if it is hot or cold, I put on my sneakers and […]
I broke my elbow two years ago. It was a long recovery, two surgeries and endless physical therapy. Finally after nine months I was ready to move on but wondering what to do with myself. I had been volunteering for eight years, visiting patients in the hospital, and doing other volunteer work. I did not want […]
For Posterity Your blog just became a viral sensation. What’s the one post you’d like new readers to see and remember you by? The following is a response to a previous Daily Prompt I posted months ago, which is how I would like to be remembered. Don’t You Forget About Me The Daily Prompt asks: At the […]
One day I will remember to turn off the flash when there is enough light in the room, so that Gus does not look like an alien. Keeping my feet out of the shot might be a good idea too. Sunday Stills
This morning, as every morning, I read the Daily prompt to my husband. Today it asked: Tell us about the time you rescued someone else (person or animal) from a dangerous situation. What happened? How did you prevail? His immediate response: You rescued me from a dangerous situation…. my previous marriage.
It is a gray and overcast day today, and it has been raining on and off so it was not a day for an adventure, other than picking up a few groceries. It put me in the mood for an omelette, comfort food in my book. I mixed the eggs together and poured them into […]
I came down to my kitchen this morning to find a NEW bloom on my Christmas Cactus. Perfect timing!
