A lot of us have been around the bend more than a few times—hey, many of us old farts, it is what it is—and so, through our lives we've all probably had our share of cars in the driveway, and it got me to thinking, it might be fun...

Heather Echola @porwest I loved mine, once my neighbor mechanic fixed a couple of things. My former brother in law called it a "blue bathtub", but you could see so well when driving. I think the Edge Bob is eyeballing is a 2010.

After hearing about other people’s experience at the ‘slow session’, I wanted to try it and see if it really was as bad as it seemed, so a couple of weeks ago I plucked up my courage, packed my recorder and set off. They say on...

I think shoes are something that you wear when you go outside. So, I can’t understand why people wear them in the house. Wearing shoes in the house brings in dirt etc from outside and surely your feet aren’t ‘ comfortable ‘. The...

Heather Echola I like bare feet. I do wear my shoes in, partly because hubby does as well. He hardly ever goes outside and does wear slippers part of the time. I do like slip on shoes for the house to protect my feet if I am working around room to room.

They both looked extremely happy. At least when my stepdaughter wasn't looking very nervous. She is a very shy person. Always has been. It was a beautiful ceremony in a lovely setting. And the weather was perfect. The rest of...

Heather Echola I think since I have been married to Bob we have owned more cars than in all my years before that. I was forty-five when we married. I probably could not tell you what all we have had. When I was expecting my daughter I had a Pacer (AMC?) the color of the car...

It's 9:14 by my computer clock, and I need to get to bed. Tomorrow's Sonday, and I will go to church in the morning, then come home and rest up for whatever goofiness/coo-coo banana-ness/craziness comes up this week. I'm sure...

Hubby will say he is going to make a meal, and then does not get it started early enough for when I need to eat. So I pulled out a dish of chicken fajita meat, that was ready to warm up in the microwave. I added extra peppers and...

Heather Echola For one of our meals Friday, we had cobb salads I bought when we shopped. It was a large helping for each of us. When we run errands and such during a meal time we get food that is prepared at the store. I think I had peanut butter on whole wheat toast with a...

Did you ever play that game “Would You Rather” when you were kids? For instance, someone says would you rather be a principal or a stay at home parent? Questions like that, and most are far fetched because it’s children asking the...

Heather Echola This reminds me of when my dad developed dementia. He would often tell me "I know I have forgotten a lot of things, but I am happy." and he was. My brother did a good job giving him a home.

I know this isn't an earth shattering subject, but have you ever tried chocolate covered peanut brittle? I've had the regular kind, but chocolate covered is absolutely scrumptious. We stopped the other day at a local peanut...

Heather Echola We hold on because we are afraid "we won't have enough", or "we might need it." With relationships, at times we do not let go because of the good memories we share, or we are afraid of being alone. Sometimes we have so much "stuff" we just cannot enjoy it. I...

Obviously the answer is a combination of both would be ideal, but if you could only choose one, which would it be? Case in point: Mother-in-law more than likely has dementia. We'll get the test results next week. We've had to...

Heather Echola I used to have to administer "mini mental exams when I worked as Social Services Designee in a care home. It is amazing what people "lose" before we realize that they themselves are lost.
