We were noticing a small leak from the toilet yesterday, so we are fixing it before it gets to be a major reno. I should mention that the hubby is repairing it, as I am not allowed to be around him when there are issues of a “plumbing” nature. I hear him in the kitchen rummaging through my baking cupboard. …
Last week, the two of us decided to go bowling, but when we looked outside and saw how miserable the weather was, we changed our minds in a hurry. Heading into the living room, we fired up the TV, then loaded up the Wii Sports disc to play a frame or two of bowling. Soon, the ‘Mii’s’ took their places …
Val’s Step-By-Step Guide To Retirement After reviewing our retirement options, we decided to make a few changes in our plan for the future. Like most other people, we don’t have a company pension plan, so instead of that multi-million dollar dream home on a warm tropical island, we will be forced to settle for our modest bungalow in the frozen …
Last weekend, hubby and I went for lunch. So off we toodled to a restaurant we’d previously been to, one we knew had good food and fast service. Upon arriving, we requested a booth, but the hostess ushered us to a small table along the main aisle. I’m not sure what it is about the way we appear. Maybe we …
I’ve often thought that it’s a good thing that we can’t read each others minds. If we could I’m sure I’d be labeled “certifiable”, “crazy”, or “a danger to myself and society”. “I was attending a meeting the other night and all my mind was interested in was yakking to itself. Sometimes I feel that I am just a third …
Happy Birthday To Me! This Friday is my sixty-second birthday. I’m not at the point that I am ready to brag about my age either. Hubby wanted to know if I’d like to have a party, and we all know how much trouble that is. It’s not the fact that I don’t want to listen to others’ pensions schemes and …
I have to admit that I am not the world’s most observant person, but lately some things have had me sitting up and taking notice. Saturday the hubby and I went to do a few errands. Walking into a hardware store, I couldn’t help but notice a gentleman standing across the aisle. Whispering to hubby, I made the comment “Look …
I hate grocery shopping! Driving into the parking lot, I see other shoppers circling their wagons looking for a spot as the “parking lot rodeo” goes full force. My accelerator’s going up and down like a bride’s nightie as I look for a space, and finally, spying an opening, I burn a u-ee, stomping on that gas pedal like I’m …
Recently, I had to go for a gall bladder/pelvic ultrasound. As usual, I just had to share my experience with the girls. So here it is… Hi Girls, Today was my appointment for the gall bladder/pelvic ultrasound my doctor had ordered. There are some pre-test instructions that are given the night before, and God forbid you should get a good …
Recently, my daughter Cindy registered me for a class in “Zumba” (an exercise done to latin music) as a Christmas gift. Apparently, I don’t get enough excercise to suit her. My girlfriends all wanted me to email them after my class to let them know how it went, so here it is. Hi Girls, I know you’re all waiting to …
