A Momentary Delay!

Last night I worked at my computer for several hours.  Toward the end of the evening, I decided to upgrade one of my programs and without thinking clicked on the link I truly believed was the upgrade. A vicious, cruel, horrible virus was immediately released into my laptop and there was no real way to stop…

“My old grandmother always used to say, Summer friends will melt away like summer snows, but winter friends are friends forever.” ― George R.R.

Accessory Savings!

I have a treat for some of you at the end of this post!  I chose not to tell you about my accessories yesterday out of respect for Goodwill…because I found them other places! But, it is so easy to find beautiful accessories for a song.  My shoes were purchased about six years ago at…

How many books have been written about CHANGES as we enter middle age?  We know they are inevitable and the pace does feel like it picks up after age 50.  But, so often, I am just not prepared for those changes. I understand what my birth certificate says, but I do not feel “elderly.”    The…
