  • More “Once Upon a Time” Memory Goodness

    People seemed to like how my Mom changed government policy. So I guess I can post another goofy story or two from my parents’ past. And possibly present. Embarrassing them gives me something to do while I struggle to write something ingenious and witty here. Ah…. So, back in the early 1980’s, while young lieutenant…

  • Jewelry Shopping for the Husband

    Not for the faint of heart or the impatient of soul. I thought I did well. I snuck a ring of his away, measured it in millimeters, looked up several internet sites, checked my math multiple times, ordered a new ring. Got the wrong size. Too big. Hubby appreciated the effort, and told me he…

Of course, I’ve been  grumping about how very little writing and/or…

  • An Introvert Trying to Sell … Anything

    I’m an introvert. I’ll pause while ya’ll gasp in shock. Sadly this doesn’t just go into physical interactions. It extends into the digital world as well. I do not understand Twiiter. I’ve tried, people my age (at the grand old ripeness of 39) and older have told me about the ease in which it works.…
