This morning I got up groggy after a late night out. I looked in the mirror with a scary mess of a hairdo looking back at me. I have big hair so it can get in quite a heap after a good nights sleep. Poor Ken has to look at me. I certainly don’t look [...]
I think I’m Ken’s first love but a close second is his guitar. He’s been playing since he was twelve years old and the guitar is like an extension of who he is. With all of the free recorded music available to us I think we’ve forgotten how special live music is. It is such [...]
I have another easy prank for all of you fellow pranksters out there. At one of our family gatherings in Florida a bunch of us were renting a condo together. My mother and I decided to short sheet my aunts bed. If you don’t know anything about short sheeting a bed it’s a way of [...]
Let’s face it, living in downtown Asheville is somewhat of a circus! This morning Ken and I got up early, made our coffee and walked into town to see what was happening. We are never disappointed. There is always something going on and today was no exception. First of all, we ran into a couple [...]
The last posting I challenged everyone to give a compliment to a complete stranger. I managed to find a unique individual to give a compliment to today. I was standing at the front desk at the YWCA and an African American girl about twenty five years old came in. She had a head full of [...]
It’s always nice to get a compliment isn’t it? It’s even nicer to get a compliment from someone you don’t know. I like to compliment strangers every now and then. It truly is a way to experience joy and pass it on. The other day I was in the grocery store and this little elderly [...]
I used to work for a vet, that’s trouble right there when you are a dog lover. At the time, Ken and I had two dogs Gaylord and Sheba. Sheba was actually the neighbors dog but chose to live with us because we gave her love and attention which she wasn’t getting at home. Frito [...]
My mother came to visit me last spring from Ohio and gave me the most gorgeous Hydrangea. We hadn’t seen this variety before. It was a combination of pink and purple and we thought it was quite amazing. I enjoyed that plant for a long time and then one day it started losing its leaves, [...]
I’ve been going to the YWCA in Asheville for the past four years. In fact, I worked at the front desk for a while. I became very good friends with the Director of Memberships and she has been after me for two years to teach an aerobic class. “Me?” “Why me?” “I never even go [...]
What a joy it is when things run smoothly. We’re quick to complain when things go wrong, but are we aware enough to see and be grateful for the times when things go right? Do we even think about it? Last Sunday our band played at Harrah’s in Cherokee. What could have been a complete [...]
