Good morning, friends. I woke up today, after a weekend of being away, and pondered about whether to make a post or not. Then, I decided I needed to get some things off my mind. so, here I am. I spent the weekend with family, sharing our grief, our memories and our love. It's always …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #10 2026

Hello, Friends. This will be a short meandering as I am away from home. Can you guess where I am? It's Spring Break here and I am at a water park resort with my youngest daughter and three of the grandchildren. They are having so much fun. The weather yesterday was in the 90s but …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #9

Hello, everyone! Boy, do I have a lot to meander about today. Are you shocked? Here in the south, fruit trees are starting to bud out. I think winter is over. We may have another cold spell but no more winter. Spring is a time of renewal and that is fitting for my newly designed …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #7 2026

Hello, friends. I'm late with this post, but I'm still not 100% well and moving a little slow. And you know what? That's okay. The world will not stop turning. I spent the entire last week in bed with what I think was the flu. I didn't go to the doctor because I know it …

It's Valentine's Day week. I love everything to do with love and not just on Valentine's Day, but if you have someone special to share it with, enjoy! It's Monday again, already. 🙂 I won't even say it. I was meandering through my own mind and found myself wondering why I have a strong tendency …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #5 2026

Happy Monday and Happy February. Things are finally beginning to thaw here. The roads are clear but there are still thick patches of ice where the sun can't reach. I did a fun experiment during my hibernation. I needed to cook a meal and didn't know what I wanted, so I asked ChatGPT for suggestions. …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #4 2026

Happy Monday. The biggest theme of the day (for the past few days) is the weather. I took this photo from my balcony. That's ice, not snow. The entire area is a skating rink! I have a lot to talk about today. It's been a whirlwind of a week! Remember I've been looking at cars? …

Monday Meanderings #3 – 2026

I hate to say it, because it seems we all say it too much, but the days and weeks keep on zooming by. Time is a man-made illusion and yet something that rules our lives. Happy Monday! I had the inspiration this week for a new story. It's so exciting when that happens, isn't it? …
