Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I saw that! Absolutely fantastic news!
And for anyone wondering, I am still loving this heated mattress pad! Worth every dime!
I made a Saints bandana that my granddog wore today! I love sewing for him. He has a Saints, LSU, Thanksgiving and Christmas bandana that I made for him.
He’s such a sweet dog! Siberian huskies are so beautiful. Those blue eyes of his melt my heart.
Yes! Me too. My daughters cracked up at some of the things I uncovered in my tree! My oldest daughter said, “Mom, your mom’s side of the family really got around! LOL 😆 I have relatives in India!
Makes sense, I suppose though. We are predominantly British and India was a British colony.
I tracked my husband’s family back pretty far too. Those beautiful Italian and French names!
Didn’t you love reading the beautiful names of your ancestors? Oh my gosh, gorgeous European names. I loved selecting names for my daughters.
I don’t have any sons but I had a boy’s name picked out in case we would have had a son.
My husband was adamant about not naming a child after him. He doesn’t like ‘junior’ and prefers that a child has their own name. Other people love having a child named after them. To each his own, I suppose.
I was so addicted that I was doing a family tree for anyone who was interested. It was so exciting to find all kinds of interesting items. I even found outlaws; cattle rustlers; one family where the husband, wife, and their three children and grandchildren were all Attorneys.
Even found how women were placed on the back burner when it came to employment long time ago.... one had her Master's degree in Chemistry but the only job opened to her was that of a Home Economics teacher, a good job but it didn't use her background.... yet her brother who also had a Master's degree in Chemistry became VP of Research for a large company where he used his degree.
Also saw where women who were school teachers long time ago, if they got married, they had to leave their job. That happened to my Grandmother. Oh how she missed teaching. But heaven forbid if a married pregnant women was a [gasp] school teacher !!
It’s fun to see the stars who were on that show when they were younger. Lots of people did guest appearances on Twilight Zone.
Love Rod Serling!
I can’t even count how many Mardi Gras parades I’ve been to in my lifetime. Mom was an excellent seamstress and made fabulous costumes for us every year. It was so much fun to design our costumes.
Last year we had a float in the Rose Bowl and won an award for it. ‘Most Outstanding’
We held our first Children’s Hospital Christmas parade this year in New Orleans. The Children’s Hospital float was awesome. It was a cute parade.
I love a parade!
Happy New Year 🎆!
Fireworks are going off like crazy!
I like starting a new year. It’s fun, it reminds me of the first day of school. That was always a fun day.
I am tired of daylight savings time. I would rather not go back and forth.
So true, it does seem to always be foggy on New Year’s Eve.
Glad,
My daughter had to add a few items to her wardrobe when she lived in Colorado to stay warm. Her favorite additions were hats, wool socks and snow boots. She’s like me, if her feet are cold, she can’t warm up.
Of course, she invested in a nice jacket too. She learned to layer her clothes. She won’t be wearing the jacket as much here!
I hate bundling up. I can’t stand driving with a heavy coat on. It’s so uncomfortable.
We get a fair amount of rainfall here. I don’t know why but I despise carrying an umbrella! My husband is the opposite. He ALWAYS carries an umbrella. He has left umbrellas everywhere! LOL, In restaurants, at Mass, at work, in the library, at a movie theater, and so on.
53 and rainy in NYC.
We are getting an early January thaw, 90% of the snow is already gone. Some younger folks are commenting on social media that this mild weather us unusual but in my youth I drove to many New Year's parties in heavy fog or sleety rain.
