I think it's just some random thought that pops into my head and I say, "yeah, yeah" and move on with life. Then it... Continue Reading →

While I was walking through my room this morning (doing God only knows what because I have already forgotten) I heard something on the TV that caught my attention, but only for a moment.

Last night I rented Beauty and the Beast on Xfinity for my granddaughter, Emily. I think she has watched it 3 times already and we're probably in for at least one more viewing today I'm sure.

When people are unhappy, well, it just stresses me out. Yeah I know, life is not always rainbows and butterflies.... Continue Reading →
