Water, Water Everywhere

Posted on September 1, 2019 by Sheila Moss

With Hurricane Dorian bearing down on the East Coast and perhaps staying out to sea instead of hitting land, I was reminded of this experience a few years ago. Bad as it was, this current storm could be worse — … Continue reading →

Posted on August 26, 2019 by Sheila Moss

It’s a terrible thing when you cannot enjoy the luxury of a weekend at a state park resort, but this is the position in which I found myself. Normally, a weekend away from home is an adventure to look forward … Continue reading →

Let’s Just Walk

Posted on August 21, 2019 by Sheila Moss

We walked, and walked and walked. It’s seemed as if we had been walking for years. Why, oh why, did I ever think this was a good idea? I definitely would not have agreed to come to this game if … Continue reading →

Getting the Kids Back in School

Posted on August 9, 2019 by Sheila Moss

The Starving Artist Art Sale

Posted on August 6, 2019 by Sheila Moss

“Starving Artist Art Sale this weekend. Real oil paintings at bargain prices!” Okay, I’ll admit it. I was sucked in by a television commercial. Usually, I just ignore this stuff. I know the art isn’t really “art,” just cheap imitations. … Continue reading →

Medicare Madness

Posted on July 31, 2019 by Sheila Moss

Mentioning the Unmentionable

Posted on July 27, 2019 by Sheila Moss
