This morning I’m enjoying my morning coffee, watching the birds and planning my day. Every day the world around me becomes greener. The grass is lush, the tamaracks are shows a fresh green haze (after months of gray and dead...

Well, so much for my immunity theory. I now have Covid. I tested tonight because all day I had a slight cough, then I was starting to feel tired, and then I was getting body aches. I got home and took my temperature several times...

Last night my son cooked dinner and made the most delicious meal. It was his first time trying out the recipe. It is definitely a new favorite. He made green beans to go with the chicken. He marinated the chicken all day in peanut...

This is the fear of a sweet cat. People who have this fear do not want to even see a cat. Not even see a picture of a cat. Not see a real cat anywhere they go. Not at a friend's house or a place of business. They will not go...

When I came to my parents place, a found a cup with my brother's picture and name on it, and I thought it was cute. They told me our kindergarten teacher made it for him as a gift, I had no idea she made me one too. So I went over...

much2say - SmilePie I think it depends on the variety . . . but yah, I didn't know either . A house down the street has stalks with just one flower at the very top. Enjoy your cool weather . . . we're in the 80s.

That is what I thought as I was in the clear all this time. But it had other plans for me and finally got me May 12th. Weird thing is that I tested negative both in rapid and pcr tests the day before and then the next day (at...

much2say - SmilePie @lovebuglena It seems to be very similar, but covid seems to be more "intense"? The sickness I had - omg I have never felt that bad in my life . . . it was the worst ever. And we were on a skiing trip . Did you feel that bad too?

That was how the local farm was promoting their tulips. For a mere $10 you could walk through their tulips. For another $10 you could pick 6 to take home with you. We thought this was a bit pricey for the privilege but it takes...

much2say - SmilePie That does sound pricey! I like how your son and daughter in law gave the children bouquets - that's generous and parents do remember these things. I hope they will do well in next season's tulip market!

Will full body armor be a necessary garb in the very near future? Or is there another way we can protect ourselves when we go out to shop, work or play. A trip to the supermarket, corner grocery store, the mall - is becoming very...

much2say - SmilePie Ugh. I hope you are feeling a whole lot better now. I have friends who had it and they say they get that tired feeling still. A couple years ago before we even knew about covid, I had those very same symptoms . . . it really makes me wonder if I had it at...

I used to trust people's promises. They promised to be there for me. They said that I can count on them and after a week they started to ignore me. I will never trust people's words again. I understand them if they are tired or if...

much2say - SmilePie I trust no one's promises - unless "trust" has stood the test of time. I have experienced too many broken promises in my life and I refuse to be hurt like that anymore. On that note, I won't make a promise unless I know I can follow through.

much2say - SmilePie Thank goodness it was just the battery. I cringe when it's some other "thingie" and that "thingie" ends up costing a lot. Yah, batteries are way up right now . . . I discovered that last year but looks like it went up even higher .
