I admit it. We took our kids to Sea World to see Shamu about 15 years ago during spring break. Sea World hadn’t been open very long In San Antonio and everybody in Texas couldn’t wait to go. We thought it was great- at the time. Later that same summer, we learned what we did …(Read More)

Wednesday I called Evelyn and told her that I’d been to the doctor. We talked about my appointment for a bit and then I said “It’s time”. She let one sigh, and then another. Then she said “I knew this was coming”, resolutely. (She knew what was coming next). She didn’t want to hear it. …(Read More)
Don’t you just love it when someone you love gives you an unexpected present? I know I do. I was in the backyard yesterday with our pack when Molly, our black lab, AKA Molly the Bull, came running over to me. Usually Molly wants to give me one of her toys. I say “Drop” and …(Read More)
I went to the Dr. yesterday. Nothing was really wrong. I just hadn’t been since last June and it was that time. I got on a scale yesterday for the first time in months. I was half expecting for the scale to start to smoke or scream “Get off! Get off now!” However it wasn’t …(Read More)
I’ve got a Dr.’s appointment this morning. It is cold and wet outside. I’d about rather get another root canal than go out and drive around in all this mess today then wait in the “waiting room”. Is it an unwritten rule that every magazine in that little room has to be at least 3 …(Read More)
I remember the first time I bought a steam mop. I’d seen it on an infomercial and it looked just great. But then, what doesn’t look great on an infomercial? Anyway, I ran over to Bed, Bath and Beyond, plunked down $100.00 (counting tax) and home I went. Anyway, the Shark didn’t live up to …(Read More)
Olympic fever is everywhere. If you turn on “regular” TV, AKA non-cable, you can’t get away from it even if you want to. Now, here in Texas it isn’t as big as it is up north where ice hockey is almost a religion. We do have a hockey team in Houston. However, it’s kinda the …(Read More)
I first saw this article on Pophangover last year. These photos and captions were published in a magazine in 1938. At the time, they weren’t supposed to be funny. Now, over 70 years later, they’re a hoot! So I thought I’d put these up for your enjoyment. Men don’t like it when women borrow their …(Read More)
NBC interrupted their regular network program this morning for a breaking news report. In the past, they’ve broken in for things like the massacres at Virginia Tech or Fort Hood. They always break in when the President Obama speaks. I think almost everybody’s ears perk up when they hear that music that identifies a breaking …(Read More)
When I was a young girl, way back when, one of my favorite things was my Bozo and the Birds book. (Bozo was huge in the 50′s.) Along with the book came a record (yes, vinyl). Bozo narrated the book; I just loved it. I remember there was spoonbill and a toucan. I think there …(Read More)
