What A Long Strange Trip It's Been

That seems to be the theme of my life anymore. Just wanted to pop in and say Hi and sorry I've been AWOL for so long. I won't go into the saga that has been my life for the past six months, but suffice it to say it wasn't a good place to be. But as they say, that which doesn't kill you will make your stronger, eh? I have been popping in now and again and your discussions and support of each other have helped me get through it. So, I thank you all. It just blows me away, how supportive and creat… Continue

Just Checking In

Just thought I would check in as I haven't been posting much lately. The last two weeks have been very difficult. Some of you know that we had been agonizing over our dogchild Otis and his health. A week past Monday we had to put him to sleep, and now he waits for us on the Rainbow Bridge. That was one of the most difficult things we have had to do. But, as hard as it is, we know it was best for him. We hoped he would go quietly in his sleep, but even he knew it was time. There were signs. As m… Continue

We got to play with Taya today. Which is go… Continue

Search Engine

Have you seen this very kewl search engine? http://www.searchme.com/ You get a visual of the websites instead of a list. Scroll through them and hover your mouse over for a desription before going there. You can search for web pages, blogs, videos, music, images or all and they even have sub-categories. I just got lost over there looking at videos of drawing, embroidery etc. Have fun and don't forget to come back to CCS. Continue

One Morning A Long Time Ago

I did Morning Pages today for the first time as part of VOG. Not being able to find the umpteen notebooks I have, somewhere, I found an old composition notebook that was empty so used that. When I got to the third page I saw what looked like writing on the next. I finished the page and turned it over to find a story I had written and forgotten about. It's a true story and was written 31 years ago. It gave some insight as to what I was feeling back then. We used to spend every Thanksgiving and mo… Continue
