After the storms…… Just like that, another month has flown by. We’ve gone from isolation to sterilization and now, in some places, demonstration. Blimey. What a mess. As I write this – there are more than 72,000 lost souls to this pandemic in the USA. I...

Hello everyone! I write this current blog with recently washed hands, although I can’t say the same for my hair. Wowza – I look pretty scary. One look at me and the Corona virus will scream and run away. How are you all doing? Many of you are probably staying...

Photo by Anna Franques on Unsplash Hello everyone – here we are in March and all starring in a bad movie. The world has gone crazy, the stock market has gone mad, and toilet paper is the most talked-about item. Self-isolation is the new norm, and we all watch...

I have been nagging Gump for a long time because I wanted to get a dog – We’ve both had pets before, but it has been a while and prior to me becoming Mrs. Gump. This has been a point of contention between us for the past 4 years. And this is why – Back when I...

So, since I’ve been getting ‘older’, my hair has started to fall out. It blocks the tub, the vacuum cleaner, sticks to the bottom of everyone’s socks, and is attached to everything. This has become a huge issue for me. But, whenever I talk to a doc about it, I get...

Getting older is a privilege, but it really is tough at times. Hips and knees groaning, eyes becoming as blind as a bat’s, hair thinning and going grey (except the witchy-poo ones growing out of post-menopausal chins)….the continual downshift of skin, as gravity...

I blinked, and it’s already October. At least I think it is. My-oh-my, it’s been a fast and furious few months. I’ve racked up miles on the car, been to Colorado, Minnesota, Arkansas and Aldi’s. There’s a new grandson in the world, and...

I know summer is around the corner when Gump starts shopping for ‘maters….British readers, that’s Oklahoma speak for tomatoes. Gump’s obsession for the plump red balls is only matched by his passion for :- Turtles (not the edible ones) Blackberry Cobbler Sci-Fi Marvel...
