Mushy Stuff

In the early 1970’s, shortly after I started High School if memory serves, Mom & Dad discovered the Catholic Charismatic Renewal and dragged me along with them. I’m not sure, actually, how my own involvement began. Perhaps they actually DID drag me along. I suspect they, ahem, encouraged my attendance at first; eventually I knowContinue reading “Mushy Stuff”

Walkin’

I’ve been doing a lot of walking. I started up again after learning earlier this year that my diabetes was out of control. I like walking. I’ve been trying to get in 12000 steps (6 miles) a day. Generally I haven’t been all that successful. But I TRY! I learned this morning that there isContinue reading “Walkin’”

Please disregard

Please disregard this post. I’m testing a problem. Is it possible to test a problem? I’ve made a change to something, and this is a test to see if that change breaks how my blog interacts with Twitter.

June 24 2012

Today I’m having trouble coming up with one of my normally witty titles. So, I’ll call it like it is. June 24, 2012. And who knows, part of me thinks that’s a good way to go forward with my future posts. All I have is some general comments on things that have happened this week,Continue reading “June 24 2012”

Dog Days of Summer

Yeah, okay, it’s not the dog days of summer. But for cryin’ out loud, I had to come up with a title! So, here’s a lesson for ya: What ARE the dog days of summer? They’re generally considered the period of summer that is hottest, normally July and August, right? But why do we callContinue reading “Dog Days of Summer”

Home Sweet Home

And now, we are home. Our girls, Ixchel and Nikki are with us. All is right in our world, once again! It would seem our darling pups had at least as good a time as Scott and I. They came home about noon Monday, and slept until it was time for bed, then slept throughContinue reading “Home Sweet Home”

Saturday – Here comes the Bride

Scott and I enjoyed a nice breakfast with the family (again) then set off to kill some time by taking a walk. We set off on a south-westerly course out of Wherwell, and somehow ended up in a town due south of Wherwell. We returned from the northeast, a brief journey of only 2.5 miles!Continue reading “Saturday – Here comes the Bride”

Friday – Small Town England

I haven’t a lot to write about today. After breakfast with the family, Scott and I set off for Basingstoke, following my cousin Molly and her sister Amy. There, after getting only a LITTLE lost, we said goodbye to our Vauxhall Meriva, faithful companion of the past week. We have driven over 1200 miles throughoutContinue reading “Friday – Small Town England”

Thursday – Into the Past

We had a pleasant evening last night in Bath. After finishing up at the Roman Baths, we returned to our hotel, where we ate, then retired to our room. We finished yesterday’s blog entry, went to bed. This morning, we arose early, and set off for Avebury. This wonderfully fascinating location is only 27.7 milesContinue reading “Thursday – Into the Past”

Wednesday – On to Bath

We began today with a repeat breakfast, foregoing only the cereal. Even so, we left our charming little hotel quite satisfied! Today, our journey was to take us to Glastonbury Abbey, Glastonbury Tor, Cheddar Gorge (in the region famous for having originated Cheddar Cheese) and finally to the ancient city of Bath to see theContinue reading “Wednesday – On to Bath”
