Don’t Be So Bossy!
Today is National Boss's Day. On this day, I naturally think of those who play the role of supervisor at work as "bosses". The beautiful ladies I supervise ( but who require no supervision because they are so wonderful) sent me a bouquet of my favorite flowers -...
Hello, Chaos Calling!
Alarm clock screaming bare feet hit the floor. It’s off to the races everybody out the door. I’m feeling like I’m falling behind, it’s a crazy life. Ninety miles an hour going fast as I can. Trying to push a little harder trying to get the upper hand. So much to do in...
Do You Hear What I Hear?
My dad can't hear much of anything without his hearing aids. And he has had a time with those hearing aids. First of all it took years for mom and I to convince him that he needed them. When he got them he realized how much better the world sounded! Then he broke...

What You See Is What You Get.
I was in the bakery the other day admiring the cakes in the display case. There were sample wedding cakes, anniversary cakes and the most adorable birthday cakes for kids. A couple little tikes, who looked to be about 4 years old, were so excited looking at the...
