Everything's coming up roses
Well we finally got something new up on redbubble. You can check it out here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/vikinghorde/works/28232419-roses?asc=u Sorry we haven't been posting since I fell and broke my wrist and ankle. Unfortunately that severely limits what I can do. So everybody has been taking care of me. Waiting on me hand and foot, ha! I've been to the wrist doctor then the ankle doctor. Both are orthopedists, but apparently specialists are very specialized the
I'm broken
The title is not a joke. It is literal. I fell this morning while walking the dog. Yes, the dog tripped me in a moment of excitement (the dog's, not mine). Though he is a larger size dog, I didn't want to fall on him, as I am much bigger than the dog. So I turned myself so as not to hurt the dog. My left foot twisted in a way nature never intended and I felt a pop. I tried to break my fall onto the concrete with my left hand. Bad idea. Several neighbors came to help


"What are you reading now?"
I got asked that question the other day, so I stopped to think about it. I realized that for the last several months I've been re-reading books I read a long time ago. It started when I decided to read the entire "All Creatures Great and Small" series, and the biography of "James Herriot" written by Jim Wight. Since then I've been reading other biographies. I've been reading through these for the last couple of months. I'm not sure why I went off on this track. I seem to


It's Fall!
Walking the dog in the morning is not one of my favorite things. It needs to be done. It's good for me (I need the exercise); it's good for the dog (he needs the exercise). It's a good time to just think about things on my own. But like many things that are good for you, it's not something I generally get excited about. However... The other morning was crisp and clear. Rain had cleared out the smoke haze that had been hanging around for almost a week. The sky was that
In which I am not profound
I read other people's blogs, and I'm amazed at their absolute understanding of all situations and complete knowledge of things of which they have no experience. Incredible. Actually Incredible. As in I don't believe it. Yet they present their thoughts with rock-solid confidence. The problem being that they are contradicting things I know from my own life experiences. I doubt it is just me. I bet everyone sees blogs occasionally that they don't agree with, or maybe not.
Argh. I hate headaches.
I have a headache. I hate headaches. Not sure what is causing it today. Could be the changing weather, could be the haze in the air, could be the politics in DC. So much to choose from. Bet I'm not the only one. I can only assume I'm not the only one feeling rotten today. I do wonder about people sometimes. What in the world are they thinking? Why do they treat each other so terribly? What is wrong with people? I am not a people person. Can you tell? My husband wa
Getting Started
I wanted to do a second post. I wanted to repost a short post on millennials. Here it is: I've been hearing recently about how horrible millennials are. They don't work hard. They expect to be recognized for everything. They're leaving the family home unprepared for 'real life.' They're not leaving the family home at all; they're living in Mom & Dad's basement and not buying their own homes. They aren't saving. They're spending their money all wrong. Etc. Etc. It's


BeckysBlaBlaBlog 1st Post
Okay this is my first post on my bla bla blog. Wix is supposed to be intuitive and easy. HA. Not so far. I wish they'd have some sort of accessible instructions so that you could set it up the way you wanted, not the way they want. Sigh, but that's just software companies all over isn't it. I remember back in the day thinking, "If I was Bill Gates, where would I hide this function." It's never where you think it should be is it?
