Today I was made to feel like a naughty schoolgirl while I was out doing my shopping. I went into a supermarket which is not my usual place to shop so I did not know how they did things to do with social distancing. Normally there...

Sandy Mistakes do happen. I am always having to watch the floor so I know where to stand when checking out. Plus the one way aisles. That's the hardest.

It has been one hell of a ride for me since 2020 has started. I have learned a lot about myself, about who some people really are, who my true friends are and, who actually does care about me. I have learned more than ever that...

The other day I passed by our dining room window, and I noticed how pretty our Purpleleaf Sandcherry tree happened to be. I thought, "That pretty tree would provide a lovely accent for a ladies' lunch that I would serve in our...

I never have been very good at cooking unless I have a recipe to go by. I do really well at baking because you usually have to measure ingredients for things to turn out right. I also love baking but don't care for cooking. My...

Sandy @simone10 I really appreciate that they give them to me instead of throwing them out. Yesterday the housing authority company gave all of their tenants a lunch meal. We got a huge hamburger that had been cooked on the grill, french fries and a can of pop. It...

Sandy @RubyHawk Yes, we are lucky. As of yesterday morning there are 51 cases in our county. I hope it stays like that. My son and DIL is still working and it is scary. I don't go to the store anymore than I have to and I do wear a mask. Stay safe.

Sandy We can't relive the past. It is gone forever. I made a sad choice last October about how I wanted my patio. For a long time I kept saying I was dumb for making that choice. Then it finally dawned on me, maybe God wanted it this way. So I have learned to live...

The heat is getting to be unbearable that we had to turn on the AC even before 9 am. We are fortunate that a neighbor is a retailer of ice cream so it is convenient to buy. Now we can have frozen treats every day. I just hope that...

Sandy I don't like wearing a mask but I will to protect myself. I have severe COPD so I have to be super careful. I don't wear a mask when I am at home or at my sons taking care of my granddaughter. I have a mask in my vehicle at all times.

Sandy @Shavkat Go for it. I am 66 and have had my hair below my waist 3 times and headed to the 4th. I did get tired of long hair and cut it short for many years. Had I let it grow before I could of been like Chystal Gales. I couldn't handle that much hair.
