5 Ways Blogging Has Affected My Life

(Warning:  Fairly long blog.)
I’m responding tonight to Greg’s blanket tag to no one in particular to share some ways blogging has changed or affected my life.  In conglomerate, I’ve talked some about this before, but I thought I’d try to put together 5 specific ways this has occurred.  At the outset, I’m wondering if I [...]

I Forgot!

My, my, my, how could I have forgotten my “smiles” segment last night?
So, since this is one of those staring-at-a-blank-screen nights, I’ll go directly to sharing with you some things and people that have recently made me smile.  I hope you can envision them with me……….and enjoy them!

Nice Weekend & Some New Pics

We had a fun weekend.  First, we DID make it out to the fair on Friday.  Although it got pretty warm before we made it back to our car, it was a nice day……………..and the funnel cake was finger-lickin’ good!
On Saturday morning, we attended Hailey’s soccer game, and that was SO nice.  Not only is [...]

A Lovely Day

Whomever said nothing is so fair as a day in June, in my humble opinion, was drastically misguided.  But to each his own, as the monkey said when he kissed the cow!
Today was a wonderful early fall day.  The only thing that would have made it better is for the colors to already be in [...]

Debate Questions

I listened with interest and some amusement tonight in our Bible class when our teacher (also our preacher) mentioned two questions he would love to address to Senators McCain and Obama at the debate in Oxford, Mississippi.  He stated that the first question would be directed to both of them, and it would be, “Do [...]

My Version of “Bones”

I’ve never watched this particular TV show, but tonight I’m starring in an episode myself.  Weary bones, that is!
Today was a work day for us.  We clean houses on Tuesday.  The house we were to clean today is two-storied, and we do both levels every other two weeks.  Today was the day for both levels……….and [...]

Bummers + Chuckles

First, the bummer.  I thought I had made a really good deal in order to get back our cable channels.  Some few months ago, we dropped all but very basic cable with Comcast.  There wasn’t that much we watched, so we dropped the service down from $53.00 (70+ channels) to $15.00 (bare bones).  Didn’t think [...]

Mind Your Own Business

Do you have situations and people in your life that you would just like to get in the middle of and mix it up?  Situations you believe you could manage a whole lot better than the people involved are doing?  People who would be a lot better off if they’d do like you can see [...]

Hattie Revisited

A couple of days ago, we were unsure how things were going with Hattie.  Her surgery over the weekend was successful, but it seemed as though she might need to undergo another surgery right now pretty soon.  Then there was the issue of her not eating and the possibility of a feeding tube (for a [...]

From My House to Yours

My head has hurt awful today, and it hurts to think, so I have absolutely nothing to blog about tonight………………..except Barney and the zinnias, and I figure ya’ll have heard enough about them for a few days!    So I’ll just go to some smiles!
TODAY’S SMILES:
