Joy for Your Soul

March 13, 2013Posted inMiscellaneous, Nathan Granner
It's an invisible thing.  It lives within your body.  It's named often, mostly during a religious event.  It has never been imaged in an MRI or found during an X-Ray.  But it's there at birth and no one knows when it exits at the ending. Soul Soul sister....Soul brother... Save my Soul... Pray for my Soul etc Nathan Granner sings and the audience is deeply moved.  I've seen people at his concerts tear up and cry.  He sings; People cry.  People feel like they've been hit with an invisible 1000…

Emotional Fitness Challenge – Whoa is Stronger than Go

January 22, 2013Posted inCountry Frank's Lucky Star
Remember the meltdown last fall with Lucky?  We were in day 2 of the cow clinic Because of his refusal to move out when asked, I was nearing my breaking point.  This is the 2nd afternoon.  Lucky and I can't  be counted on herding the cow, stopping the cow, or anything for that matter.  I tell him to move to block the cow and we don't even twitch.  Plus, I haven't been able to go fast much of two days.  When I don't get to move beyond a slow walk…

Scaring Myself

January 13, 2013Posted inMiscellaneous
Tonight was scary.  I started to put my old fat clothes in garbage bags and I'm hauling them to the used clothes bins tomorrow.  These are fat clothes that I'm still wearing.  They are soft and baggy.  I love my fat clothes.   Instead of watching TV all night, I got up and engaged in scary behavior...folding fat clothes into garbage bags! One of my retirement dreams is that I will go into my closet and get rid of the thousands of clothes that I don't like and don't wear.…

Frozen Foot Day

January 12, 2013Posted inMiscellaneous
When you start out the day by pouring water in your shoe in frozen 28 degree weather, you really should stop the world and change your sock.  But did I do that?  Of course not.  Socks should dry.  Surely there is a physics rule somewhere in the wet sock world.  A wet sock is to change into a dry sock while still on a foot.  Is that too much to ask of physics?  Obviously it was. I fed the horses this morning wearing my tennis shoes.  It was 61 degrees…

Tomorrow is Always Another Day

I'm on it! Got up today and the dogs and I did our morning walk. Sounds great until you know the only reason I left my morning TV shows was to feed the horses. Once we all get outside, our thought is that we need to impress Fitbit and Map My Fitness with our glorious walk. One mile with two great pictures of Justine and Heidi. Then it was adventure time. Today, going to Lee's Summit to run a few errands. Oh wait, I better stop at Anytime Fitness to…

Fiesta Ware Learning Journey

December 22, 2012Posted inMiscellaneous
Not long ago, I wandered into a most fun and cheerful kitchen wares place.  I didn't die and I didn't get sick.  This is such a cheerful place, that I actually enjoyed it.  I discovered Fiesta Ware.  Good Gad.  Too bad I'm old now.  If I had discovered Fiesta Ware back when I was trying to cook and eat at home, I would be Fiesta Ware rich now. Today I revisited the kitchen place.  A young man was telling his parent family about his wife's collection of Fiesta Ware. I…
