Yesterday I was happy to just goof off and not go anywhere until after supper. Today I was a bit more energetic. I ran errands. I had my Jeep inspected at a new place not far from the house. I didn't know it, but Wednesdays is ladies' day. I got a $5

The End of That Part

I don't know if you have figured in out, but in telling you the story of my life, I break it down into places that I have lived. It is easier that way. I think I've told you just about everything about my life when I lived near or on Fort Hood, Texas

When I play chicken foot with my two granddaughters, the younger one has a tendency to make comments that hint at what she has in her hand. On Friday, I made the motions of zipping my mouth, locking my mouth with a "key," and tossing the key over my

We have been really busy lately, and we are going to be busy next week, too. So it was nice to have a slow day today. While my husband played golf, I goofed off. Oh, I did two loads of laundry, vacuumed the carpet, and dusted, but that doesn't count.

I'm happy today because I woke up during the night to the sound of thunder and rain. After getting no rain for what seems like forever, we have finally gotten some relief. Yesterday, my sister and her husband have come down to visit to their son and

I'm happy today because my husband and I went with a group from church to see a live musical in a nearby town. We went in time to have lunch before the play and to look in some of the shops close to the theater. We saw "The Music Man." An added joy

I'm happy today because it rained last night. We need all the rain we can get during this hot Texas summer. It is cloudy today. If we aren't getting rain, at least the sun isn't beating down on us.

When I think about my daughter, I'm very happy. I'm also very proud. I admire her immensely.; I know that a lot of people do what she does...work full-time, raise a family, and help out at their children's schools. But along with all that, she is a
