We had a major snowstorm this past Wednesday, which took down the Cable line that connects to our house. That meant no internet, no phone, no TV. We called immediately and the earliest appointment they could give us was Saturday. Did they come on Saturday between 2 and 5? NO!!!! Did they call at 6:30 […]
I Miss My Computer
We had a pretty major snowstorm here on Wednesday. Almost a foot of heavy snow, weighing down the branches on trees and ripping my cable line from the hook it was attached to on the house, stretching it across the street to the pole. We watched as cars drove under it, waiting for one of […]
Nurturing Thursday
My niece sent me this photo, taken by the photographer at her sister’s wedding, unbeknownst to us. I thought it was funny that he captured us taking a selfie. The quote is one of my favorites.
Who Knows Where the Time Goes
I have been absent from my blog, taking days to reply to comments…. why? Not enough hours in a day I think. Thursday was Purim, a busy day where gifts of food are exchanged with friends and then a nice meal is shared, in our case with a trip to Queens NY to family.Nephews and […]
Decorah Eagles-A Special Couple
I have been following the Decorah Eagles, located in Decorah Iowa for two years now, thanks to my blogging friend over at Choosing My Perspective There is a webcam that captures the nest live, 24 hours a day. Last year I followed them through laying 3 eggs, watching them hatch, and then watching them leave […]
Time Moves On
I have posted this before, but on this the third “anniversary” of my brother’s death want to do so again. I wrote about his death, by his own hand, here. I have been thinking about him today. Saddened at the thought of his being gone from this world, sad for the troubled life he led, and sad […]
Compromise
Compromise: That’s what everyone told me I would need to do when I got engaged. “You’re going to have to learn to compromise in a marriage“. “Remember to compromise” “You can’t always have things your way, you need to compromise.” I have found this to be the case over the many years I am married, […]

Thursday’s Special: Trio
They say three’s a crowd, but maybe not for these trios… Trio
Mnemonic
mne·mon·ic A mnemonic is a tool to help remember facts or a large amount of information. It can be a song, rhyme, acronym, image, or a phrase to help remember a list of facts in a certain order. The first thing that popped into my head when seeing the word Mnemonic was Roy G Biv. Taught to […]

Murals in Color
Cee’s Black & White Challenge this week was Walls. I posted photos of wall murals I had seen in Asbury Park, NJ and New Paltz, NY. Corina, One of my blogging friends,asked if I had the murals in color too and I told her I would post them. I like the first 2 in both black and white […]
Martin Luther King Jr. Through First Grade Eyes
Last week we spent a good deal of time learning about Martin Luther King Jr. in our first grade class. We read a few books about him, we watched a youtube video that talked about his life and also contained real footage from Dr. King’s speeches and marches. We did a writing project using words […]
End of Year-Beginning of New
I took an early morning walk on December 31st, even though the temperature was 15 degrees with a windchill making the “real feel” 4. It was the last sunrise of the last day of the year, which also happened to be my birthday, which this year had a big zero as part of the number. […]

Greetings From Asbury Park
It may be December, but I am always ready to head “down the shore” as we say here in New Jersey, and visit the beach. Monday we headed to Asbury Park, the place that Bruce Springsteen put on the map in 1972 with the release of his first studio album. The town had fallen on […]
Thursday’s Special: Sequence
This week Paula’s theme for Thursday’s Special is Sequence. I took an early morning walk Sunday, the day after the first snowfall of the winter. The minute I saw these trees I thought of Paula’s theme, as they were all lined up in sequence. I walk this block very often and have never noticed them […]
Olana
This past Sunday we took a ride about 2 hours North of where we live to visit Olana, the home of artist Frederic Church. Here is some background: Olana State Historic Site was the home of Frederic Edwin Church (1826–1900), one of the major figures in the Hudson River School of landscape painting. The centerpiece of Olana is an eclectic villa […]
A Winter’s Day in a Deep and Dark November
Ok, so the lyrics by Simon & Garfunkel really say December, but that is how it felt today. The wind was howling making the 40 degree temps feel like the low 30’s. The sky was overcast and gray. It was COLD!! We ventured out about an hours drive away to a small town North, over […]
Wordless Wednesday
Familiarity Breeds Comfort
I was putting things away in the guest room in our home today, when I was struck by how nothing has changed in the room since we redecorated it over 10 years ago. It had been my step daughter’s room, pink walls and white wicker furniture, but when she reached her late teens we decided […]
Lessons from a Bird — Out an’ About
I just had to share this wonderful post from Miriam at Out and About-her words, her photos and a wonderful video clip about what we can learn from birds https://videopress.com/embed/CCs8EFR9?hd=0&autoPlay=0&permalink=0&loop=0 Going after our dreams isn’t always smooth sailing, but then again, nothing worthwhile ever is. Before you can fly, you have to learn how to […]
Superficial
Superficial: appearing to be true or real only until examined more closely Facebook is what came to mind when I saw today’s prompt. It reminded me of the time someone said to me “you’re always smiling and so happy!!” Well yeah, do you really want to see a post of me yelling at my husband, […]
