Random Facts About Me

I am happy to do this because it is so much easier than making any New Year's resolutions. I am going to stick with 10 of them.

1. I live next door to my parents. It really is no big deal but it causes people to gasp. It has been the 1 mainstay in my life. Honestly, I think we bug them more they bugs us!

2. I love to run. I can do it anytime, any day. I always feel great after I am done. I hate to race. It ruins the running for me. I want to do a marathon but have no time to train.

3. I love all sports except golf. I can play anything and everything but do not like the amount of thought you have to put into golf.

4. I am never bored. My mom says I have a talent at keeping myself entertained even when I was young. I invent my own schedules and fill them up daily.

5. My best friends are the ones who make me laugh until I cry. When I think about the people who have been in my life the longest, they are the ones who are the goofiest, craziest and silliest. I have to keep that around me,

6. A pyschic once told me that part of my mission in this life is to be closer to people. I have failed at that badly. I am extremely shy!!

7. My top 10 loves (in random order); fashion/clothes, dogs/animals, running, cooking, reading, watching tv/movies, tennis, my kids & my husband.

8. I love France. I should have been born there.

9. I hate unloading the dishwasher. It is my least favorite chore.

10. I love horses & nature but do not want to live on a farm.

The New generation

This afternoon as I was watching t.v. in the front room, my home phone rang. It was my son his cell phone in the backyard on the trampoline. He needed me to bring him something. Duh, no!

When my daughter & I went to pick up her friend the other day, she texted her to come out. I asked why my daughter couldn't go to her door to get her!

I can't believe it. I do not think it is laziness but rather a new way of thinking or communicating.

I can't wait until I am 80 & call them on the phone in the next room to help me out of chair!

Change of season, change of me

I am getting older. It is true. I feel I need to become classic & not so trendy but where to shop? Where to shop?

Talbots
J Crew

Johnnie Boden. I will not forget you!

A chocolatey weekend

I had a great time celebrating my sister's 40th! We made chocolates and ate them instantaneously! The best!

Memory movements

This is the place that I went to this weekend. I have not been there for many, many years but one other time. My husband asked me if I needed to Google map it. I said no way. I knew the town, the store and the way to the property as if it was 1975 again.

I knew what would be waiting around each corner & where the forest ended. It definitely changed but not enough to get me lost. I had spent a lot of time there & it was etched in my memory.

So why this photo? This part of the forest had not changed at all. I could have drawn this from memory before I even arrived there to take the picture. How fascinating to me that that time has changed it all so much and yet so little.

It is a little piece of paradise.

The pics say it all. Ah!
