February is perhaps my least favorite month. Other than the Super Bowl, there’s not much else to recommend it. When you live in the South, you are on the tail end of winter yet it still isn’t Spring. Here it’s not unusual to have pollen clouds one day and a light freeze the next. IContinue reading “Time for a little history lesson”

New thing today: went to the day parade in Ocean Springs! Have a new pile of cheap beads and lots of laughs to remember the day. Mardi Gras in Mississippi is not quite like the same festivities of nearby New Orleans. The floats are more, shall we say, middle class, and you don’t have toContinue reading “Throw me some beads, Mister!”

Doesn’t seem possible, but the first month of 2020 is in the past! When you work in higher education administration, January is a blur. That being said, I kept looking for new experiences but had a hard time finding anything that fit into my schedule. Until the end… a friend told me about Sally’s BakingContinue reading “January … where the heck did you go?”

End of another month and another year and still working on new adventures! The Holiday Season is always entertaining, and it was especially fun for me this year spending some time with a new circle of friends here on the Coast. Working evenings the first two years I lived here made it very difficult toContinue reading “Happy New Year!”

Heading to Breckenridge in March to visit my cousin and try my hand at some winter activities. Having never vacationed inContinue reading “One month in…”

While it hasn’t officially been a month since I hit the big 5-9, I have been trying new things. Starting slowly, it seems, but planning to build as time goes on. Took a quick trip over the Thanksgiving break to visit my aunt and uncle in Florida and had a great visit. Had never beenContinue reading “And so it begins…”

Only 362 days left in my 50s and so much to do! The birthday on Friday was much fun and went just as planned: massage, nap, dinner with friends. I highly recommend that plan when your birthday rolls around. While there was no “big” new thing that day, I did order two dishes I’d neverContinue reading “Birthday and Beyond”

A few weeks ago, as I was pondering the unavoidable fact that the age range I have to check on forms is getting closer and closer to the end, I made a decision: I’m ready for some adventure. Oh, not that my life has been non-adventurous, but it has been somewhat bland for the lastContinue reading “Blog Post #1: What the heck is this?”
