Do something nice on 6/19

I posted on Facebook that all I wanted for my birthday was for people to go out and do something nice for someone else.
People wish for world peace, and that’s great – but you got to take some steps. I thought about “Pay It Forward” and how that was a great movie.
So…if you were one [...]

Forgot to pay.
Letter from Magistrate.
Forgot to pay.
Called Magistrate, okay, send $ you are okay.

Born on this date, in 1922

I just dashed outside to bring some bottled water in from the car. Im working a late night, and am far from home. The wind was blustery and the rain started to fall, and I was energized. I think I even said aloud, “Bring it on!”
Being away, things feel different. Full of possibilities. And new [...]

RIP Aunt Olga

My Aunt Olga passed away two days ago. She just turned 93 last week.
To me, she was the embodiment of a strong, unstoppable woman.
Up until just a few years ago – she was still out there cutting grass, tending her garden, baking amazing treats,
and making my favorite – turtle soup.
Today was her funeral, and she [...]

Ever wish you had a lawyer? :)

Well, if you know me in real life, you might think I may have needed one from time to time. And well, you would be correct.
Luckily a friend recommended signing up for lawyer’s insurance.
I thought it was a crock, but it has saved me so many times.
I pay about $15 a month, and it [...]
