It’s just NOT fair!

My fella works with all of these kids…teachin them guitar.  He comes home with hilarious stories and sweet stories.  He also comes home with germs.  He might have a day now and then when he feels puny…but, that is about it.  He has a super duper strong immune system.

Not me. (more…)

I apologize for my silly posts of late.  Nothing profound going on upstairs!  Lights on but nobody is home.

Here is another silly experience that happened the other day:

Last year I shared a story about some squirrels moving into our attic area.  They promptly moved out when the weather warmed up.  I guess they didn’t like the bazillion degree sauna effect that happens in the attic during the warmer months 😉

Well, they are back.

I think it is the same family because they have the same arguments that the last family had…and they chew with their mouths open (just like the visitors did last year)!  Oh, and they like to chew on the wood beams…just like the previous visitors. (more…)

This last Sunday…uh…yesterday, I was busy reading the New york Times with a yummy cup of coffee that my fella made for me.

*I just love saying that I was “reading the New York Times”…makes me feel so…hmmmm… cosmopolitan and sophisticated.  Well, really it helps me forget that I moved to this strange little neighborhood where my next door neighbor thinks that tires are the new garden accessory and cars belong on lawns.

Anyway, back to the article that I was reading.

The writer was talking about having an iphone.  And concluded half way through the article, that he hated it.  His conclusion intrigued me so I read on. His article was funny and irreverant.  My favorite!  I have heard all about the iphone.  I have heard that it is the coolest phone ever.  I have heard friends describe all the snazzy features.  They talk about music downloads, how cool the screen is, how cool the apps are…it can do this, that and the other thing. (more…)

I have decided to add a new category to Musing For the Soul.

I am calling it “Quote Friday.”  I have been secretly collecting quotes for years and I decided this morning that it is time to bring them onto the page:)

So without further ado….here is your quote for today:

“My alphabet starts with this letter called Yuzz.  It’s the letter I use to spell yuzz-a-ma-tuzz.  You’ll be sort of surprised what there is to be found once you go beyond Z and start poking around!”  Dr Seuss

Have a fun day thinking beyond letter Z!

April Fools’ Day or All Fools’ Day, although not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, enemies, and neighbours, or sending them on fool’s errand, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. Traditionally, in some countries, the jokes only last until noon: like UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa, someone who plays a trick after noon is called an “April Fool”.^[1] Elsewhere, such as in Ireland, France, and the USA, the jokes last all day.

Okay.  So, that is a little definition from Wikipedia.  Couldn’t really find much else on this day called “April Fools.” (more…)
