Remember Me???

One minute things are going along like a fine summer day, the skies are blue, the sun is shinning and my cucumbers are coming up gang busters. Each day I wake with anticipating of the lazy nothingness that comes along with the unplanned randomness of a hot summer afternoon.

I check the listing for the dollar theater, make sure I have plenty of ice coffee on hand and breath. I pick cucumbers, walk the dog and read a blog or two.

I love summer!

Sometimes in all the wonderful lazy randomness, life erupts!

BANG!

The door to hell opens wide and swallows up your life, well maybe the door to hell is to strong a description, maybe it should be more like the door to Jerry Springer's green room on “Who’s your Baby Daddy” day.

And then I look around and I wonder what happen to my calm peaceful life and my lazy summer randomness.

Rest assured that even as life has been erupting and the chaos was whirling I had my priorities in order. I took time each day for my morning visit to my sweet cucumbers babies, are y’all tired of hearing about my cucumber babies????

and my afternoon ice coffee

Now let me just say that as much as I would love to make a daily trip to Starbucks, this would be massively budget prohibitive, I have been know to on occasion (all the time really) save my Starbucks cup and use it over and over again to improve my afternoon ice coffee experience. It can at least look like the real thing. Sad but true!!

Anyway, I am glad to say that life has settled back down to normal (is there really such a thing as normal life???)and I look forward to being able to return to my regular bloggy self very soon.

Thanks 2 Thinks for giving me a shout out!!! and no I have not fallen off the face of the earth, been abducted by aliens or lapsed into peri-menopausal comma.

Although being abducted by aliens might be a nice break, but they would probably want me to do laundry and cook dinner!

Blessings

I love it that the blogosphere is the "land of no guilt"! We can come and go as we are able, or inspired, or not. But this I also know: you've been missed!

Enjoy that Starbucks.

Be blessed,
Kathleen

Robin, I love the cucumbers honey that post I have been watching. You go girl. Now what is the deal? You went to Starbuck's and didn't give me a ringy dingy? What kind of deal is that? Looks so delish. What a way to go through the day. Great post. Thanks so much for sharing. Please stop by and say hi. Country Hugs, Sherry

Nothing an evening cocktail can't fix...

 I am trying to come up with a basic set of question to facilitate a daily post. So maybe the first question should be: 1. What was/is the highlight of your day or week? This week I went to a funeral of one of the saints of our church.  A sweet, sweet woman who was dearly love by so many. As I sat and listened to the testimony of the woman's life I felt truly blessed that I had the privilege of knowing her.  It was a blessing to know that she is no longer suffering. The next question should be; 2. What should I or could I have done differently today or this week? This falls under the category of a good thing and bad ting.  The new season of Lost in Space comes out this week. I LOVED that show when I was growing up!!! Sadly, I have totally forgot what happen last season so  am having to rewatch several of the previous episodes so I can catch up. This happens quite frequently.  Also, Diana Gabaldon has just published the next instalment to her Outlander series.  I have to (again) re-

Project 365 ~ Week 12 ~ It was a Muffinhead kinda week…..

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all!   Later that e
