This book was given to me in a package of goodies from my two oldest friends in 2015 after my second bout of cancer. A great gift with images of everyone’s favorite little books.

I offer this post from 2017. (The new 2019 season is starting in a few days. The last season was disappointing and of course Ragnar was my favorite character played by Travis Fimmel, and he’s been missing since season four, so meh?)

The lime in the coconut is an addictive song, once you sing it you can’t stop! I find a few songs like this, an earwig you can’t get rid of. Maybe a margarita would be more to a stomach’s liking. “Margaritaville” by Jimmy Buffet. My favorite line is “searching for my lost shaker of salt”. So great.

I am a mountain lover, colder temperatures with snow

Everything white blanketed so the under doesn’t show

I think my chauffeur might not agree since sidewalks are uncleared

A trip out for Thanksgiving was just what I had feared

Wheelchair sticking in the ruts, I’m glad he is so strong

A quick trip of thirty feet took extra long.

The sunny parts are still covered but progress being made

While living on the other side, the ice remains in shade.

🥶🥶🥶

Happy Saturday, hope you didn’t spend too much on Black Friday. We stayed home. With the snowstorm delay of trash pickup and packages, I’m sure those services are beyond busy today. As for me I’m holed up reading blogs and listening to the daily dog chorus above me. It takes about an hour for the two in separate apartments to stop complaining to each other that their owners left for the day.

These holidays bring out the sentiments of our lives, and he sings them well:

The video scenes below are likely in Wyoming, but here in Cheyenne it’s just cold but sunny and 21 F. I don’t want to jinx it by saying it’s not windy but snow piled everywhere. My trusty grandson will be here to pick me up at noon and I’m looking forward to turkey and stuffing and other goodies prepared by my daughter and family. Laughter, hugs, stories, games and pie, you can’t beat it! Have a great day everyone!

One of the best jobs I had was working in a sundries shop on the first floor of an office building. It was only a half mile from my home so I could even walk to work. The owner, C was a California native and her husband was an ex Denver Bronco football player.

We got along well and I think the entire experience boosted my self esteem. The hours were convenient, early at 7 and off by 3.30 so I could be home with my three teenagers. She was also flexible if I needed to leave for some reason.

I waited on the customers, prepared food, cooked, cleaned, and served our office building friends. We all got to know each other well. It was fun!

I do think the constant standing contributed to my back problems, but I was in better shape than ever. C was a tall beautiful woman and we took aerobics classes together–she was great inspiration😄.

The job ended as she and her husband moved back to California. She wanted me to buy the shop from them but I knew I would soon be joining my husband in Texas, as soon as our youngest left for college. I often wonder what would have happened if I had bought the business and where we would all be now.

The impish ne’er do wells took another turn at the French cigarette which mysterious vapors seemed to entice them to dastardly deeds. There had been the flair of setting fire to wooden beam supports, causing a cave-in at the nearby mine.

Next, the kick they received from fixing an elastic tether to the local school bus caisson. Most of the students remained unharmed, some even enjoyed the event. There was only one horrid scream heard as the bus driver received a withered arm after trying to remove the rubber banded tether from the bus.

The culprits were sequestered by the police.

Snow accumulates

Causing quite a mess

Travel is intense
