MARILYN I got some things done around the house (including laundry) so it was productive but not crazy busy. I haven't sold things on Ebay in awhile. I have some things I should take pictures of and list so you've given me the incentive to get it done this week. I...

My Magic Bed

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (4636) 2h

No, it doesn't have a hot guy included. (Darn! LOL) My kids heard me talking about my sad and sorry bed one day when we were discussing furniture. One of my daughter's had purchased a mattress during the height of the pandemic,...

MARILYN How wonderful that you got such a good nights sleep on your new mattress. That was super nice of your children to get you that new mattress. My granddaughter got one of those types for her college apartment and it's amazing how it comes in such a small box and...

Away From The Madding Crowd.

Kandase @Kandae11 (44606) 6h

Where do you go or where would you like to be on those occasions when your desire is to be away from the hustle and bustle of civilization? Just a few hours - or even a day, for quiet relaxation, meditation and reflection, with...

MARILYN My initial response would be the beach. I love sitting and listening to the waves (as well as swimming). But since the beach is far away my quiet place is to take my coffee and go to the nearby park. Sometimes I just sit in my car, enjoy my coffee and people...

CarolDM @CarolDM (181899) • United States 6h

The cats are enjoying a nice morning in the screen room. The air was nice earlier with lower humidity. Coffee was enjoyed. A little quieter as some of the birds have fledged. Still many left. The bluebirds are probably glad for a...

What Will They Do?

popciclecold @popciclecold (24464) • United States 6h

I heard that McDonalds is leaving Russia, and will not return. Due to the war. I think they said there are at least 800 hundred of them in Russia. Wow, that will be a loss.
