This is the short and the long of it . . . William Shakespeare
I’ve been away so long I forgot how to input my photos so that they enlarge…so, don’t bother clicking on this one. I haven’t been in my blog since March. Home still isn’t quite as sweet as I would like it. My office and back bedroom are filled with the start of my cleaning out [...]
I thought I’d be gone just a couple of weeks but as it turned out, I stayed in Connecticut until February 14th. I spent most of my time at the Transitional Living Center; with my sister. I had all the right clothes, but traveling from our winter, which consists of warm summer days in between [...]
It was a beautiful dawn over Monterey Bay and that’s the last nice thing I have to say today. Two years ago we bagged the house, had it filled with a noxious, killing gas to murder the termites, we moved into the Venetian Hotel because we were terrified of the gas and…now we’ve got termites [...]
45,000 eggs – 39,380 pounds of flour – 5,955 pounds of butter – 5,940 pounds of sugar and 1,870 pounds of chocolate a month and what do you get? Gayle’s Bakery and Rosticceria. She’s the cook when we aren’t up to the job and neither of us felt like cooking tonight. Jim has a cold [...]
I finally had a chance to go downtown today to pick up my stash of books. I could see that the stash had grown overnight. Some kind elf, who hadn’t been available when I went in the first time, had added a few books on stroke to my collection. I’m leaving on the 12th to [...]
This is why I don’t Twitter. Here we go with my day. I checked my email and cleared spam from my blog. Then I went off to the Museum of Art and History to meet Marlene and Judy for a Cafe au Something at Lulu’s. Lulu’s has three locations and the man who owns this [...]
I would have done this sooner but I got hit again (twice this month) with digital filth and even though I keep back ups religiously, it’s a time consuming, boring job to re-load everything. Jim had just built me a new PC, faster and bigger, so I’m isolating this sweet thing from the web and [...]
As always we lazy bums went to Zelda’s on the Beach again this year. They cook, do the dishes, give us good sun and surf and there were no peas this year. The seagull gave thanks for the hamburger bun he stole from someone’s plate. I had a slice of Powershot Elf with a side [...]
Well. Some things just drive me crazy. My sister is in a re-hab facility after suffering a stroke. I wanted to send her a DVD player so she could watch movies. The remote for the television in her room is so outdated it can barely find a channel. I found out that I was perfectly [...]
I prepared dinner for my guests to Jean-Jacques Goldman, my Bose turned up so loud I didn’t hear Jim come in from shopping for more wine…can’t have too much of that. My menu had to be kid friendly for two, vegetarian for one, and the rest of us enjoyed a pork roast stuffed with apples [...]
