I confess I didn’t take many photos this week. I had an enjoyable week, but for some reason I failed to document much of it. Anyway…for today’s Friday Favorites, I’ve decided to share some of my favorite Instagram photos from the week. These lovely folks consistently post beautiful photographs. You may want to follow them…
Well, this week I had another blogging first–my first time being invited to write a guest post for someone else’s blog: Retirement Reflections. Donna’s Retirement Reflections is a well-respected, award-winning blog, so it was quite an honor to be included in her Sunday Guest Guest Post Series. Here’s a little snippet: I’d love it if…
Happy Friday! This week has been one of rest and relaxation for me. I took the week off work, so hubby and I could spend it at Hawkes Landing, enjoying the last of the beautiful fall leaves. So I hope you aren’t tired of fall leaf pictures, because here we go again… (I did include…
***I will announce the winner of the Blogiversary drawing later in this post, I promise, but first I want to tell you about an important book I just read.*** Do you believe that a person is born with a certain amount of intelligence, or can one increase his or her intelligence? What about talent? Are…
Happy Friday! This week I’m feelin’ the love. I hope you are too. But first thing’s first–remember to enter my blogiversary drawing! You could win a prize selected especially for you. Now back to Friday Favorites… I love it when my daughter is awed by the beauty of the clouds and wants to make sure…
Two years ago today, I released my very first post, and So What? Now What? was born. A lot has happened in the past two years–in this blog, in my life, in the world. In October 2015, Barak Obama was president of the United States; I still clung to an illusion of control; and I pushed…
It’s true that our lives are made up, not so much of big, momentous occasions, but more of many small moments strung together. It’s been a week of simple pleasures for me. Starting with this impressive cloud display and the heavy rains that followed. It’s been a while since we’ve had rain like that around here….
If you’ve been reading this blog for the past couple of weeks, you know I’m obsessed with pumpkin in all its forms, so I was surprised and delighted when I read my fellow bloggers’ fall bucket lists and saw how many of them had pumpkin-related items on their lists. Of course, pumpkin is the ultimate…
Happy birthday Mom and Charlie! If you give Charlie dog-year credit, he just passed Mom up. I’ll let you do the calculations. 🙂 (This photo is from last year’s celebration and remains one of my favorites! Charlie looks a little less enthused about the whole birthday thing.) Of course, if it’s fall and it’s Friday,…
According to my calendar, fall officially arrives tomorrow, and while autumn may not typically be considered a time of renewal (like, say, spring), for me, the start of each season brings with it a feeling of beginning anew. That’s even more true since I started creating seasonal bucket lists with my blogger friends. That’s my…
