We've seen a … Continue reading Wednesday- Well, Not Quite Wisdom
I'm late getting this out, but it's been a Monday morning, for sure. Mr. Lambeau had a sick tummy this morning. That's the second time in a couple days.

Many of us have a veteran or two in our families and many have lost loved ones in the service, but even if … Continue reading Monday Musings: I Yam Who I Yam
Yesterday was our anniversary. Forty years. Wow, looking at it there in print, it seems like such a long time. Thinking about it, it seems like it can't be that long. But, you know, the math don't lie. It was a very lovely day, if a little bit on the humid side, so we went … Continue reading Monday Musings: As Time Goes By
Yesterday was Mother's Day here in the US. I usually try to get my Monday and Wednesday blog posts done on Sunday, but this week, I kind of took the day off just because.
