I Scan, You Scan, They Scan, Yes We Scan!
My sister Sue mailed a batch of old photos and I’ve been in a scanning frenzy. Some highlights (click the thumbnails for full size images):
Sunday Surf Blogging
At my house, Sunday morning is web-surfing morning. A lot of bloggers pad their content by linking to interesting items they see on others’ blogs. I try not to do that, but sometimes the urge is stronger than I am. And God knows, you probably wouldn’t be caught dead on the sites I surf, which […]
Comfort Food
Over the past two weeks, I’ve had all the fear and anxiety I can handle. It’s time to seek a little comfort. We normally ride bicycles on Saturday morning with our Trail Trash group. Today Donna stayed home, for the very good reason that there’s much to be done after last week’s California trip. Other […]
Our California Trip
Last week we went to our Goddaughter Natasha’s wedding in San Jose, California.

Air-Minded: Putin Rears His Head
I was fascinated by this exchange during Katie Couric’s interview of Sarah Palin the other night: Couric: Have you ever been involved in any negotiations, for example, with the Russians? Palin: We have trade missions back and forth, we do. It’s very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia. As Putin rears […]
