Words….

When’d I lose your love? Was it on a Monday when I had my working blues? Or maybe it was Tuesday when I had so much to do? It might have been on Wednesday – I had football on my mind. But maybe it was Thursday when I went out with the guys? Then Friday came and...

Going to the state fair

Last night my husband took me, my mum and her boyfriend to the State Fair. I should mention that I am not a fan of the fair – but it was a lovely evening to be outside and so off we went. 100 years ago, when I was a teenager, I used to go to the annual fair at...

The brain drain…..

My mum is 80 – that’s a lot of years really. Especially if you think about all the things that have been invented in those years, and also the events that have taken place…Televisions, Video, DVD’s, CD’s, Computers, Pagers, Cell Phones,...

Rule Brittania

I am going through this weird phase at the moment, I am obsessed with wanting to be British. I am British, so fortunately I can do that part, but along with it I am craving all things British (except big noses and thin lips, oh and black socks with tennis shoes)- I...

Plague of Frogs?

For some bizarre reason our house has become the escape route from the back yard to the front yard for re-locating frogs. I am not sure why they take this particular route to freedom, perhaps they are in some secret frog-new identity program, but suffice to say they...

Reflections

The other day a charming man passed me on the highway, and called me the female parent of someone having sex because I wasn’t going fast enough for him. It was funny really, because I was going way over the speed limit, I was just annoyed with him for riding my...

Date Night..

Hooray! It’s Friday!!!! Another week another wrinkle…… Hello all, I hope you have had a great week! I had a wonderful weekend last week post-blog, as I threw a birthday party for Forrest Gump, a Mexican themed party to be exact. I was so organized… I’d...

Scattered thoughts….

Well it has been a whole week since I got to write something on the blog. I really don’t know how I stay so busy. I have had plenty of time inside the house as the Killer-Bird is still on the rampage. I do not go outside the house now that my...

Alfred Hitchcock

My life has turned into an Alfred Hitchcock film. I am a living testimony to Tippi Hedron. We live in a house that is surrounded by trees, it is beautiful and I love being at one with Nature. That is until a bird resembling the size of a pterodactyl moved...

Peaches

My youngest son lives in Fredericksburg Texas. It is a small town, not very exciting for someone his age. It is part of the ‘Texas Hill Country’, which is news to me as I thought Texas was flat! But I am wrong, hills there are for sure, and it is also a...
