Hey, party people! What's the haps? It saddens me to say that this will be our last meeting of Summer 2022. It's Bike Fest weekend down at the beach right now; some 100,000+ motorcycles are deafening the wildlife in Ocean... Read more →

Hey everyone! I'm just back from a whirlwind 3-day trip to Philadelphia with my birthday sorta-twin, my eldest kiddo, Chloë. She turned 21, so yes, there was alcohol. She wanted more cocktails, but that will come in due time, I'm... Read more →

Hellew, everyone. I hope you are well. Missed you last week. Nothing new in my neck of the woods (same ills, same story), so nothing worth reporting. My younger two kids are enjoying the summer visiting friends, with the youngest... Read more →

Hello, friends. Well, a sad week is upon us S-9ers, that's for sure. I bet I'm not the only one who could say I grew up with the Judds on the TV now and then. RIP, Naomi. I've battled this... Read more →

Welcome, welcome, one and all! (all two of you) I guess I'll just be popping in and out irregularly. Miss y'all, though. I don't know why I don't know much the music of Jim Croce. I mean, is this the... Read more →

Hey, hey, ladies and gents! Happy Saturday! Thank you, Hostess Sam, for bringing us these questions. I'm excited for this week. Ricky Martin and Livin' La Vida Loca were a huuuuge part of the space between my college years and... Read more →

Welcome back, S9 friends and the world beyond (since I have such a significant following)! Am I the only one who is shocked we're nearing the end of February already?!! Link up here if you're joining us this week. ~*~*~*~*~... Read more →

Hey, friends. I hope you are doing well. We're in something like our 9th week of hotel-living, and I can tell you, we are so over it!!! But, the sale of our Idaho house is going well, and we should... Read more →

Hello, y'all. Another weekend has snuck right on up on me. I missed last weekend entirely, seems like. If I didn't tell you here, we put our Idaho house on the market, and within hours we had an offer for... Read more →

Hello, my friends! I hope this Labor Day weekend finds you well and planning some kind of fun and enjoyment. The girls and I plan to go look at someof the houses we have saved on our list, among other... Read more →

Welcome back, kids of all ages! This week I'm coming at you from Salisbury, Maryland, in complete confusion about where I am and where I actually belong. This isn't a bad thing. It's that necessary reset that happens whenever we... Read more →

Hiya! Once again, I'm dodging my responsibilities and playing along with Sunday Stealing. Here's today's post, if you're inclined to join us. Bev Sykes of the blog "Funny the World" is our lovely host. Welcome to the joint! Here, we... Read more →

Oh, my goodness. Moving is just so complicated. Then you factor in that it's another (almost) coast-to-coast move. Then you add three teenagers. You add two dogs, four cats, and two rabbits. And tons of health issues. During a pandemic.... Read more →

Hey there, hi there, ho there, thieves! I'm watching the documentary series "Diagnosis" on Netflix right now - and of course, now my husband and I are going, "You need to get on that!" regarding all of my health issues... Read more →

What's going on, my friends? Anything exciting and new with you? Here, we have decided to sell the "perfect" dream house and move back to the city. Frankly, it's me. I can't take it out here in the sticks. Small... Read more →

Howdy, folks. Here we are, another Saturday, another 9 questions thunk up by our gracious hostess with the mostess. I've had a pretty tough week and am on my 11th day of an intractable migraine with everything under the sun... Read more →

Hello, friends. I trust you're all alive and well, but in this insane year that is 2020, that is certainly nothing to be taken for granted. So tonight, I'd like to take the opportunity to express how much I appreciate... Read more →

Heyyy, there. I don't know about you, but here in the US, we've been watching and/or participating in the many protests around the nation, precipitated by the murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd. It's been frustrating to... Read more →

Howdy, y'all. Welcome back. Make sure you link up here if you're playing along with the rest of us this weekend! This week, Bev's got us doing some fill-ins, so prepare yourself. I have played a lot of Mad Libs... Read more →

Hey, folks! Welcome back. I'm on my husband's piece of crap Toughbook laptop with the missing "p" key, making all my years-long keyboarding skills basically useless, so I'm trying not to start out this meme already grumpy! Also - Hey,... Read more →
