Thanksgiving Surprise

November 28, 2008

My KC sis, her husband, their older son and family were here for Thanksgiving.  Our Utah daughter and her family drove down and we all gathered, with all the family that lives here in Vegas for Thanksgiving.  Well, unknown to me, they also threw a surprise 50 b-day party for me.  (Yeah, I know … [...]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

November 26, 2008

Hope you all have a great Holiday.  We are just about ready to jump in the truck and drive to Vegas.  So no matter what your plans are, be safe and enjoy.
BTW – no, I didn’t make my 50,000 words – but, I’m still working on the story.

Some of the strange things that happened

November 23, 2008

Since I left Seamonster high and dry yesterday, I had better share a couple of my stories. 
When we still lived in Vegas, my 18 yr old nephew from Lincoln, moved in.  One night, hubby and I went out.  When we got home, he was shaken up.  He proceeded to tell us that our house was haunted.  He [...]

Strange things

November 22, 2008

When we lived in Lincoln, NE we used wander through the antique stores in the Haymarket.  They had a couple of large stores … or maybe it was one big one … can’t remember, but we’d wander all the aisles.  I always wanted to buy one of those old pieces, either a table, buffet, chair, [...]

Wacky headlines

It’s Not a Tumor, Docs find worm in woman’s brain  – Oh my, wash your hands people!!! 
Forget Luggage, Airline loses Grandma - Poor thing!!
Dog Drives van into Coffee Shop - Common sense – Don’t leave vehicles running with a dog in the car.

What day is it?

November 20, 2008

I’m down to crunch time on writing.  I have many many many words to catch up on if I’m going to make the 50,000.  I didn’t touch the writing yesterday because my muscles were exhausted.  LOL … I received that new workout tape Tuesday night.  So I decided to check it out.  Yeah, kicked my butt [...]

One of many reasons

November 18, 2008

This is one of many reasons why I don’t want to move away.
Something I see everyday, this time of year:  Sunset on Lake Tahoe
Doesn’t get much better than that, unless I lived by the ocean.

Prayer Request

November 17, 2008

I am asking for prayers.   As those who believe in the Lord, know, He is the great healer.  So I am asking that you take my request to the Father.
My office manager’s sister, Angela, has been diagnosed with Invasive Malignant Thymoma, which is a very aggressive cancer.  The tumor is quite large and next to [...]

This isn’t my car?

November 16, 2008

We drove to Reno yesterday and wandered around.  Our last stops were Whole Foods Market and then to Wendy’s for dinner … LOL … yeah, I know, good food, then we eat fast food.  Well, it’s along the same lines as having  fried chicken and diet coke.  Somewhere in the brain, it offsets the calories/fat/carbs [...]

The world of me

November 15, 2008

I make stupid decisions in my life, yesterday was just another one.  I usually where hiking boots to work. You know, I work in a glass shop, for the most part I have to go out back to get customers orders, whether it is a piece of glass, an insulated unit, screens, you name it.  [...]
