In My Own Words: The Big Flood
My DH said my blogs should be written in my own words, rather than written with the help to ChatGPT. So, you just get me and my own words on my blog. Sorry for your bad luck! 😉 Last evening after I returned home from a long day at work, it began to rain. From…

The Day I Pushed the Gear Shifter Through the Floor: A Driver’s Ed Tale
Turning 14 was an exciting milestone for me, not because it symbolized freedom or escapades, but because I could finally enroll in Driver’s Ed. My love for driving began long before I was legally allowed behind the wheel. It all started with a memorable experience in my grandpa’s pickup truck, where I got my first…

Mother’s Day
Today is Mother’s Day. I spent the afternoon with my 80-year-old mom and my 83-year-old dad, yesterday, to celebrate my mom. We had a good afternoon visiting, eating dinner, then playing pinochle.

Park Bench
There is something about a park bench outdoors that can change a “down-in-the-dumps” kind of feeling to a feeling of appreciation for sunshine, blue sky, and a cool breeze. What a great smile!

It was so calming, just sitting around the campfire with my family, listening to stories, mesmerized by the dancing flames of the fire at night. Memories of roasting marshmallows and the ooey gooey-ness of…

Viewing this blank screen in front of me can sometimes be overwhelming. What do I write about? There are endless things one could write. Today, I have a feeling to anxiousness. My thoughts are all over the place and I can’t seem to reel them in and focus on only one. This post may be…

AI – ChatGPT 4
AI is extremely and eerily intriguing to me. ChatGPT has been out a few months now. In the past month, or so, I have become more fascinated with conversations I can have with ChatGPT. It is mind-blowingly amazing. I am excited to jump on the bandwagon. Yet, there is a bit of an eerie feeling…

Burning the Candle at Both Ends
Why do we need sleep? I wish it weren’t so. Can you imagine all that we could accomplish if only we did not have to spend several hours sleeping every single day?! As each day winds down, so does my body. It’s like a rechargeable battery winding down and needing a re-charge before a new…
