‘T’ is for throbbing because that is what my head is doing presently. I need to nip this one in the bud, so to speak, or I will have a migraine. It’s one of those. . . it’s already moved over to above my left eye. I’m off to go find some over-the-counter medication and…

At the age of 40 something, I thought my days of studying were behind me. Not so, my friends. My gal pal, sk, and I are studying for our Canadian citizenship test! I think this is the last step before we can attend a swearing in ceremony and make our transformation into Canadian citizens official.…

R is for Robin because that’s me! Peace.

Yes, I am still behind in my writing challenge so today I’m going to make the letter ‘Q’ as easy as possible. Q is for quirks. We all have them, don’t try to pretend that you don’t. I have my fair share of them so I’ve come up with a list of things that make…

So immediately bright and early this morning we packed the car and drove hundreds of miles to spend time with family. Well, actually, I drove several hundred of miles while she slept. In total, the gal pal traveled…

I love to laugh. I’ll admit, I embody a twisted sense of humor. I laugh at inappropriate times and when the humor is obvious. I don’t have much time this evening so I’m pasting a few images that make me chuckle, no matter how many times I see them. Enjoy!

I’m not sure if the following qualifies as “kindness,” but I need a word for the letter ‘k,’ so kindness it is and besides, I want to tell this story. After our church service this past Sunday, many of us from the congregation stayed around for socializing. . . along with coffee and treats. During…
