What a great idea this is. Thanks to Older Mommy Still Yummy for starting this.

-- Christmas Magic--
Many times the highlight of my Christmas has been an experience that was totally unpredictable. These experiences were not, in and of themselves, earth shattering or remarkable in any way. They were simple events that because of their timing and meaningfulness to me made them part of what I refer to as Christmas Magic.

Wellness -- K.I.S.S. ( Keep It So Simple)
November 27,2012
With Thanksgiving 2012 an event in the past, we now are moving full tilt with our preparations for the next big event for this year, Christmas! The stores are, or in some cases have been, stocked with decorations , gift ideas and the commercials that are inundating us with what the simply "have" to buy to be happy, to be like our neighbors, to be able to relate to our co- workers, and others that are encountered, even by chance. This time of "peace on earth" can quite rapidly become a "stress on earth" that is so unnecessary. We all want to celebrate, but it is how we celebrate that is important.

Wellness - Decorations
November 20,2012
Hard to believe it is that time of the year again. I'm not talking about the weather, it's the "decorating the house" time. You would think that after all these years of marriage we would have the whole dig-out-the boxes, pick out what you want, check that the lights still work thing down to a science. But in reality......NOT!!

Frivolous Friday-- Grammar Is Important. #3 of a series.
November 16,2012
Note: I am in the process of renewing my home page. It is a task intensive and frustrating ordeal, so please bear with me until the final edition is ready. In the meantime .....enjoy
I am not a teacher, not do I have any idea what is or is not taught in the system today. It is just an idea that presented itself when I came across a grammar text ( see Oct.5/12) that was used in the schools "in my day". I am hoping to refresh my memory and maybe even relearn a few things, but mostly I am going to make the effort to keep it, light, informative and above all, fun and humorous. Hope you enjoy.

Frivolous Friday-- My Confused Garden
November 9,2012
For those of us whose habitat is in the area of the 45 parallel we experience 4 distinct seasons. Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall. Each season has a plant growth specific to that season.

Wellness--- Effects of Time Change.
November 6,2012
It's that "Fall Back" time of year again, when the clocks in thousands of homes are turned back by one hour so that daylight starts an hour earlier....actually it follows that night also starts an hour earlier, but that's not the point!! The bottom line is that we experience more darkness in our normal work day.

This is a series that will appear on the Frivolous Friday slot for the next little while, in bi-weekly increments ( or fortnightly if you are from Britain). Although it is very basic grammar, most of it I learned while in junior high school.... now called middle school and the presentation reflects that age group.

Wellness - Senses and Sensibility
October 23,2012
Ever have one of those days when everything is going along in a calm and predictable manner and you feel that all is right with the world..... well , at least all is tolerable in your own little world. You actually feel that your day is progressing and accomplishments are... well, being accomplished.

Frivolous Friday
October 11/12
When contemplating something "frivolous" for this Friday's post, I was standing in my kitchen talking to one of my granddaughters when she asked what was in the bowl on the table. My answer was "Oh, honey, they are gourds". A conversation ensued but the Readers Digest version is something like this.
Gourds are pretty much useless pieces of fruit/vegetable that are primarily used for display . I checked them out on "Google".

Wellness --- Snoring
October 9,2012
Snoring zzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzz!!
While mulling ideas around in my head what topic to address for the Wellness post today and heading to the medicine cabinet to get a pain killer for the headache I woke up with, I realized that the cause of my discomfort was in fact ....snoring.

Frivolous Friday--- Grammar
October 5,2012
As this post has no specific theme... hence the name, Frivolous Friday... I have decided to attempt to have a short string of continuity for a while ... or is that awhile ?? This is the quandary I have found myself in on occasion.
