Creepy Scotland – Days #10 & 11 ~ Part 2

June 19, 2017 by melave 2 Comments

I opened my eyes some time later. Had I fallen asleep? Was that even possible? How much time had passed? I did open my eyes didn’t I? I couldn’t be sure since it was still pitch black . Not even a glint off a window. Well Goose had closed the curtains. It could be morning … [Read more…]

a lovely story… I was safe & sound

March 26, 2016 by melave Leave a Comment

In my mind, I told myself a lovely story that I was safe and sound away from the United States since 9/11. As long as I did not cross that border, I would be fine. I get very nervous at the border crossings and do not wish to deal with customs and exchange. They always … [Read more…]

today

February 17, 2016 by melave Leave a Comment

Today is my Father’s Birthday. He would have been 78 years old. I haven’t been able to think very clearly today, so I had to do the math with a pen and paper. He would have said, ‘It’s just another day.’ That’s what he always used to say. But once someone is gone from your … [Read more…]

who IS this man?

October 6, 2014 by melave Leave a Comment

So as most of you already know I have finally found the one true love of my life. He is perfect (for me) in every possible way.  He opens doors for me…and not just doors we are going through.  He gets out of the car and walks around to open MY door for ME.  I … [Read more…]

my new office

September 15, 2014 by melave Leave a Comment

Okay, so it’s not a ‘new’ office.  I re-arranged my office furniture to create a new ‘space’. It seemed like a huge undertaking while I was planning it. But all in all took less than 2 hours. Our upstairs ‘loft’ bedroom is large enough to have my office at the opposite end of our sleeping … [Read more…]

My Perfectly Redneck Husband

May 15, 2014 by melave Leave a Comment

When I first met my dear Husband, he was a self-proclaimed rocker. Metallica, Guns n Roses, AC/DC.  He claimed to have never heard of George Strait or the Dixie Chicks. ‘How do you not hear of the Dixie Chicks?’ I thought. ‘This should be fun…’ was an afterthought. Every time I listened to MY stations … [Read more…]

No Comment!

August 10, 2012 by melave Leave a Comment

Ok, I would just like to point out the blatant lack of comments on my Blog posts.  What is the deal? Is there anyone out there? 🙂 I know you’re reading.  And I would love to see some feedback.  Hear a laugh or two.  Maybe a question? Ok, not too many questions, but still….I’m sure … [Read more…]

one woman’s junk…

June 26, 2012 by melave Leave a Comment

Ahhh…Summer.. The warm breeze, the blue sunny skies….the blooming flowers….and dragging your old junk out to the end of the road and setting up post for the day to see if anyone will bite.  Only to drag it all in again at the end of the day.  The upside? you’ve got a few extra coin … [Read more…]

how do I look?

June 1, 2012 by melave Leave a Comment

It was date night again. We went to the local theatre. I was excited…and with good reason. I had a pretty good notion we would break our sucky movie streak. PLUS…I was no longer cleansing. I could have popcorn. ‘Would you like anything else?’ the pretty young blonde behind the counter asked. Did I look … [Read more…]
