Since I do NOT drive, I was curious to see what car would suit me. You can't be serious. I don't even know what this is... it looks like a green M&M on wheels!

😍 Amazon is Amazing



I'm sure most of you already know this, but Amazon never ceases to amaze. My lip color of choice is Black Radiance Midnight Glow 5033 and I've only been wearing it for at least 25 years. And yes, I'm guilty of being a creature of habit too!

When COVID hit, it didn't make sense to wear it behind masks so I didn't consider using it again until after I got my 2nd booster shot in May of this year and I felt more comfortable not wearing masks. But, there was one problem... my supply had dwindled down to one tube with next to nothing in it, so I had to go on a frantic search to find more. 

Well, I couldn't find it anywhere I bought it in the past and not only that, the cosmetic aisles in all the stores looked like they hadn't been restocked since the pandemic started and they were merely selling off what they had leftover. I couldn't get it from Black Radiance either because it was out of stock.

It was beginning to feel like I would never wear lipstick again when the little I had ran out because wearing another brand or shade was out of the question. Then, it hit me... see if you can get it from Amazon and as you can see, this story has a happy ending. I placed the order Friday and they arrived today via standard delivery!

🤔 Things That Make You Go Hmmm...



I love Jordan Peele, but I've never been a big fan of movie trailers that are so "out there," you don't know up from down as to what the movie is about and I'm growing weary of the gimmick. So, I'm considering saying nope to NOPE and if I do go to see it, this will definitely be the last time until the trailers start making more sense. I need a clue about what I'm going to see and I don't think that's too much to ask. Enough already. #IJS

🕊 Message For Mom



At this time, two years ago today, it was discovered that you quietly slipped away and left this world behind. There is never one day that goes by when you do not cross my mind, and you will live on in my heart forever. May you continue to rest peacefully in paradise.


🕊 Happy Heavenly 65th Anniversary



Today marks the 2nd anniversary of mom's passing. Although it still seems like only yesterday at times, I believe the Lord also called her home on this special day to be with dad because it was their 63rd anniversary. He was called home 18 years before her, so I know that he was missing her presence. I'm sure it was not a coincidence and the Lord decided to reunite them in His perfect timing. Both of you will always be in my heart, it goes without saying that I miss you, and I love you very much. Until we meet again, rest peacefully in paradise with the One who originally joined you together in 1957, and again for all eternity in 2020...

Did you know it's National Get Out of the Dog House Day? Who remembers when this cute retro family of 5 dogs was hanging on the wall in just about every home you were in and possibly your own? When they disappeared, I thought that meant everybody got out, but I guess I was wrong. So, who's still in there? It's OK to come out now!

🥋 Congratulations to My Grandson!

"A BLACK BELT IS A WHITE BELT THAT NEVER QUITS"


He passed the belt test with Sensei Connor and received his red stripe from Sensei Cory to advance to the next belt level during karate class this morning. The AmeriKick Graduation for all of the students advancing to various belt levels and returning to a normal in-person group ceremony and photos with family present without masks was really nice. We unknowingly took all of those simple things for granted, but my grandson is now a 2nd KYU Brown Belt and he is Red Belt Bound!

On your mark. Get set. Go! Me and dad preparing to do our race to the ocean @ AC. By the next summer, I felt like I was getting too old and tired (lol) to do it anymore. I can confess now I didn't really know what tired was yet, but this was my last race with him. Mom took the pic and chilled on the beach!

🤩 National Days



Wow! This could be a very busy day for some of us. If you have a pet, post a pic! Then, go to 7-11 and get a blueberry muffin; stop by the market and pick-up some Rainier cherries; make someone smile who lives alone; and relax with a Mojito. Make sure you put a few of those Rainier cherries in it. Sounds good to me!
