- Come on in and make yourself comfy. Kick off your shoes. Coffee? Tea? Sit awhile and read… Express your thoughts. Any questions? Feel free to ask for I am a woman of a certain age and I do not fear my secrets. I welcome them for they have led me here, where I pour them out in written word. I'm also a Recovering Catholic, but I very much believe in a Higher Power. Those shoes you see in my banner, I own those shoes... Stuart Weitzman Fever in patent leather red! We used to get out alot more, me and my shoes. So I decided to add them to my blog because, hey, I'm not dead yet!!

When it comes to goal celebrations, it doesn't get much better than this. In a match between Stjarnan and Fylkir in Iceland last weekend, the winning goal celebration was actually better than the winning goal. After Stjarnan's Halldor Orri Bjornsson scored on a penalty kick… Read full post »

No, I believe in signs from God! or The Universe... whichever…

Good morning heartache, you old gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seems you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I’d forget you, but you're here to stay
It seems I met you, when my love went away
Now everyday I start by saying…

Copper-filled, Colorful and Psychedelic
Finally, I understand why so many people moved to California
in the 60's and 70's. (also, wondering how I missed out!)
I'm back home now, relaxed and rejuvenated. (conspiring a
multitude of ways of spending the rest of my days in warmth and
sunshine)
