Giving Thanks, Day 6

From November 6,  2017: As it turns out, I didn’t give thanks yesterday when the Roto-Rooter guy left yesterday as he did absolutely nothing. 🙁 Our troubles weren’t going down the drain at all.     Today, I give thanks and shed a more than a few tears for a wonderful friend, co-worker, choir buddy, …

Giving Thanks, Day 5

I hope I’m not jinxing myself but today I am thankful that I haven’t had any migraines for a while.   It’s not “just” not having migraines, but the fact that, should I get one, there’s nothing I can do about them anymore.   I used to get migraines quite often, a hormone thing probably. …

Giving Thanks, Day 4

  Today, I’m thankful for my “Cushie Car”. Since I started attending Cushing’s events, I’ve always tried to rent a PT Cruiser. There’s just been something about them that I liked. A couple years ago, after my son was out of school, I was getting tired of driving the Mom-Carpool-Van everywhere. I think my mom …

Giving Thanks, Day 2

Today I am hugely thankful that the last major issue we had here was in 2013 when Tom had his heart attack.  That event caused me to start a whole new blog to post about our experiences.     Adapted from https://maryomedical.com/2013/02/08/the-beginning/   January 27, 2013 was our 40th anniversary.  DH called me and said he …

Giving Thanks, Day 1

  Today, since it’s a “teaching day”, I’m thankful for my piano studio, my students, and my piano 🙂   When I was growing up, my dad was a minister, meaning we lived in whatever parsonage the church chose to let us live in.  The one we had in Pawcatuck, CT had an upright piano …

Today is World Photo Day.

  Today is another of those “Who Knew” holidays. I was recently talking to someone about our last trip to Scotland and she reminded me to take lots of pictures.  Then, she said to be sure to print them out so she could see them. Um, no way!  I haven’t printed out pictures since probably …

High School Memories

  This is from one of those silly Facebook posts where they want you to copy and paste to share with your friends.  I decided to take it a bit further and expand just a *bit*.   Tell us about your SENIOR year of high school! The longer ago it was, the more fun the …

Happy National Tap Dance Day!

  Another of the Who Knew?-type posts. It’s National Tap Dance Day.  When I was a little kid, I took the “required” ballet and tap classes for a year.  My mom has a picture of me in my tutu and one in my majorette costume for the tap recital.  I imagine I only took for the year …

Don’t Forget Your Towel Today!

Each year, May 25 is Towel Day.  Do you know why? Towel Day is celebrated every year on 25 May as a tribute to the author Douglas Adams by his fans. On this day, fans carry a towel with them, as described in Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, to demonstrate their appreciation for …

Lucky Penny Day

  See a penny, pick it up… All day long you’ll have good luck. When you are out and about today, look on the ground for pennies. It just might be your lucky day! My mom is forever picking up pennies – or anything that’s cash-looking.  She’s made a record over the years of how …
