Drivin' 55

I have great news to share with you. No, fabulous news. In just over the last week and a half, I have managed to win not one lottery, not two lotteries, not ever three lotteries, but a total of FIVE LOTTERIES! Yes! Can you believe it? One notification arrived via email from the UK. Another notification arrived from Ireland! The others are all from the US! If I can properly calculate Euros to Dollars, I have won approximately $12,000,000. I’m off to Bali now…see ya later alligators! PS...no, I didn't really win! And YES, those are big time scams!

Sorry my friends, but the last few days I have been seriously in a void.  Not depressed or sad, just overwhelmed with everything.  Most people who know me tell me I build walls to protect myself.  Most people would be right.  I am guilty of doing just that very thing and for very good reasons.  Which if I disclosed those reasons, than I would be breaking down a wall and well, that is just ineluctable. Perhaps sunshine for more than 20 minutes in 2 weeks would be beneficial.  Tomorrow is a new day.

Thanks to my blog friend, Kate, over at Chronicles of a Country Girl, she told me about Windows Live Writer.  Ladies, let me tell you if you like fancy fonts, this is for you.  Are you like me and struggle with adding hyperlinks?  Windows Live Writer Download allows you to easily create the hyper links you want without all of the errors.    And adding photos in Blogger can be a nightmare!  Am I right?  Your intention is to place your photos in order, but ends up in reverse order.   Let’s face it, some of us can be a bit challenged when it comes to picking up new skills, '’cause, we are not as young as we used to be.  :) OK, there are a few things I have to learn, like how to change the font in my title, but so far…. I am loving it.  

For Today Outside my window the sun is hiding, yet again. I am thinking that I need to do more than entertain the idea of going to the gym three days a week. I am thankful for having a roof over my head. From the kitchen I am drinking a hot cup of coffee with my favorite creamer. I am wearing my pink plaid drawstring pants with a pale pink camisole. I am creating a present for my mother's upcoming birthday. I am going to start my diet today! Really! I am reading the Sunday newspaper. I am hoping to be able to visit my mom for her 76th birthday in March. I am hearing my tummy rumble…not a good way to start the week. Around the house , I’ve been thinking of getting window treatments for my bedroom and the proper rod for my dining room. One of my favorite things is when the house is still and quite. A few plans for the rest of the week include actually going to the gym and take more photos of the surrounding areas. Here is picture thought I am sharing . . Last year, we ...

Blessed with another sunny afternoon, I found myself back to Founder's Cemetery yesterday. I cannot explain what the draw is for me, but I can tell you that I haven't been able to forget the unmarked grave sites. I knew that this time, I needed to say a prayer for those souls that had no one to grieve over their resting place. This head stone was badly worn and I was unable to read the markings other than "In Memory of". Notice at the bottom of the photo are a trio of little trinkets. The addition of the trio of trinkets tells me that someone of this generation placed them there as a tribute to their family member. This monument was placed in honor of Roswell King's family members. Roswell King went into business with a man named James Stephens Bulloch . Bulloch was the grandfather of Theodore Roosevelt and great-grandfather of Eleanor Roosevelt . A fact that I was surprised to read about. A side note: Not many people know that Franklin D. Roosevelt considered...
