Football season is a wonderful time of year. Today, the air is crisp and cool. The sun is lighting up the blue sky and brightening the wispy high clouds, a beautiful background to the fading green leaves. All of the windows are open, letting the cool air and aroma of freshly cut grass waft in…

Sky action!
Clouds are intriguing. The form, shapes, color, size, speed of movement. The lightening, dancing through the sky from one cloud to another. Ahhh! I love it all! The setting sun behind a growing thunderhead passing over us, tonight, lit up the clouds like an explosion in the sky! The feeling was incredible, standing under an…

Does Boldness Pay Off?
“Hey, you want a raise?” I looked up from my administrative/reception desk to see my supervisor standing there leaning in with an eager look on his face, anticipating my affirming answer to his question. “Uhhh, sure?” I answered questioningly. “Good! Your annual review is tonight. Will that work for you? We can move it to…

Ahhh…. Grrr
Exiting the chilled temperature of the PT Department, the warmth hit my face like the heat escaping an oven through the opened oven door. The wind is blowing through the shrubs and trees. Leaves, rustling in the warm breeze, is the only sound I could hear as I sat down at the round metal grate…

SMH!
We bought a new table a few months ago. Recently, I found a folded tablecloth and thought it was kind of nice for summer and placed it on the table until I get ready to redecorate the house. (We have three more rooms to paint, then the downstairs. The decorating can begin after that.) We…
