Ditto on the Christmas lights!

So you can't compete with your neighbor's Christmas lights?  Well, here is a good solution....this photo cracks me up!  Getting geared up for some 'ol holiday spirit! I just had to share....LOL

Joy is the feeling of grinning on the inside.

Buckle up!

Tonight Jenna says to me "Mom, in the olden days, did you have to wear seat belts?” I was having flash backs of saying that phrase “olden days” to my grand parents. After I regained my composure from shock of being associated with the olden days, I started chuckling and I replied to her “No, we did not wear seat belts and on top of that, we were basically like monkeys flying around in the back seats of the car.” She shouts out “awe Mom, that is soooooo not fair!” I say to her, “yeah, I know, it’s amazing we survived and be prepared…life is sometimes not fair!”


No one can enjoy freedom unless they are willing to surrender some part of it. 

I told you... No Double Spaces After Periods Ever!

Okay, so I am going back to school after the age of forty (*sigh).  I was taught when learning how to type back in high school during the eighties... to double space after the period in a sentence.  I was working with a group of people in my class today that are under the age of 25 and when I contibuted my part of the assignment which was a paragraph of about 5-7 sentences, it had double spaces after the periods (as that is the way I was taught and it is something I do without even thinking about).  I was however corrected by the 'young ones that this style is "odd looking" and "not protocol."  This young guy proceeded to go through my work and "correct it to single spacing."  I personally think it makes it look crammed, probably because I am use to seeing double spacing.  So, I am curious... taking a poll here, how many people here do double spaces and how many do a single space after a period in a sentence?

Forgive my nonsense as I also forgive the nonsense of those who think they talk sense.

More Swing

Well, you have heard of more cow bell, right? I think this idea of "more swing" is a fabulous idea! How cool to see a random swing placed here or there throughout the city to escape the duldums of every day stuff! Check out the video below...
