Made Me Wish I Was in an Irish Pub

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 11 Jun

Imagine you’re enjoying a beer at the Half Moon Pub in St. Clement's, Oxford, England. There is traditional Irish music, and someone gets up to sing the traditional folk song “Handsome Molly," and then you get bug-eyed realizing...

Monkeying Around

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 11 Jun

An article caught my eye because it was about my hometown, New York City, and I found it fascinating to read about a restaurant in Manhattan called The Monkey Bar. So you’re probably wondering what is so special or interesting...

Running of the Bulls

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 9 Jun

Most of you have heard of the dangerous pastime everyone enjoys in Pamplona, Spain, where people who are brave enough and crazy enough run with big, mean bulls. Hey, now for all you adventurous and daring people, there is a...

Enjoy Swimming with Pigs

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 8 Jun

In my online travels I arrived in the Bahamas and found Pig Beach Exuma. This does not refer to a beach full of garbage but the place in the Bahamas where you can actually swim with pigs. I think that would be great fun to go...

Aww Poor Manatee

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 7 Jun

It made me sad to think that a 2-year-old manatee was found floating next to a dock at Eckerd College in Florida. The poor manatee had watercraft and shark attack wounds; I wonder how he lost his mama. Anyway, the good news is...

Holy Cow

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 6 Jun

I got all my groceries today, but I tell you, this high humidity and tropical heat in Florida does not do anyone any good. I have a good delivery and help getting the groceries up to my apartment. However, by the time I got all...

Welcome to June

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 1 Jun

Wishing everyone a great month. The tropical heat here is making me, as the saying goes, crazy as a June bug. This means exactly that, a person who is acting rather silly. There are real June bugs, as in the photo I posted, and...

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 30 May

I read a blog from a woman who lives with her family in the countryside of Latvia. I enjoy reading about her life in Latvia. Earlier in May, she wrote that everyone in the country got alarms on their mobile phones about danger and...

Good Luck with the Blue Moon

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 30 May

I have been feeling off today and reading up on the Blue Moon. It was with glad tidings that I read that four astrological signs will have good luck with this moon, and they are Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces. I am a...

Tiny Octopus

In the Galapagos Islands they discovered something blue. It turned out to be a little octopus that could sit in the palm of your hand. Such a cutie, don’t you...

Traditionally Latvian

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 28 May

The song and the music, known in Latvian as "Palaid Pukiti Par Dambi," loosely translated as "Let the Flower Go on the Dam," show some traditional dancing. You won't understand the words, but I think the music is delightful and...

Happy Birthday to Mom in Heaven

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 26 May

It seems like I was watching a movie reel turn around today. I remembered all the surprise birthdays I threw my mom when she was 65, 70, and 75. She loved having all our Latvian neighbors coming up to the apartment and popping...

Can You Do the Limbo Rock?

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 25 May

I forgot, so you can remind me but even if in the posts I wrote about dancing I mentioned limbo, this is a bit different. I thought I knew all about Chubby Checker and then bumped into his “Limbo Rock” on YouTube. It's very...

Honest Opinion Please

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 22 May

As of this June it will have been one year since I have been outdoors. I live in my four walls, where I feel safe and the days go along one after the other, and I know what to expect. It is a good way to keep my anxiety...

On the Threshold of 70

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 21 May

Finding myself 69 years old makes me feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop as I cross over the threshold into 70 next year. To make myself feel better, I took a look at rock and rollers over 60 and discovered I am in...

Back When I Was Young

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 19 May

I remember my days in the sun with pail and shovel. Then days lying with my friends like hot dogs in the sun. Now I cannot take much heat and humidity, and I certainly get a headache if I stay in the sun too long. Anyway, just...

Delicious Casserole

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 18 May

Mostly for cottage cheese lovers, but I think anyone would enjoy this. I do it simply by eye as they say. I take 4 to 6 eggs depending on how much I want to make. I whip up the eggs, and then I add from a half cup to a whole cup...

Can I Make You Smile?

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 15 May

Near where we lived in Riga, Latvia, there was an apartment complex. Beside it was this charming, smiling head. No one really knew why it was there, but when you saw it, you had to smile. I took a photo of it and created a poetic...

And I Thought It Was Odd

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (98026) • Daytona Beach, Florida 13 May

I keep reading about people traveling and about good and bad cruises. It all gets jumbled up in my mind, and suddenly I distinctly hear the voice of Whitney Houston and a song that is a favorite of mine. Remember, I am the one...
