Try it…

As I had mentioned earlier, yesterday was the Lifelong Learning College’s Open House.  The benefit of attending this event  is to get the Fall Catalog before it is circulated with the Daily Sun on Monday, and also to get to meet many of the teachers and facilitators of the different classes offered.  You also are able […]

The Numbers made me do it…

I believe I might have mentioned that I had taken a course on Numerology at the Lifelong Learning College. If I didn’t mention it,  I did take it.  Anyway, it was very, very interesting and not knowing anything about Numerology I was very surprised how much information about ones self can be told by ones’  numbers. […]

Absence makes the blog grow fonder…

Hopefully.  I just returned home after spending several days with my sister Julie and her husband Lee, at their home on Orchid Island, Florida. Sean enjoyed playing golf with Lee and raved about the course and its’ condition, as always.  Julie and I visited the Vero Beach Museum, where there were several really interesting exhibits, […]

Guess No More…

Remember how hard it was when your young baby would cry and cry and you had to figure out what was wrong? Is he hungry, is he wet, does he have an ear ache, or how about when your dog or cat no longer eats, is he full, does he like the food, did he […]

The Village Smile…

I think I have all the right credentials to write this as I was voted Nicest Smile when I graduated High School.  This was quite a surprise to me  as I thought very straight, perfect teeth would have to be a prerequisite to winning.  My front teeth were just like my Mother’s, which I liked, […]

Experiences…

Come in many sizes and shapes. Over the course of our lifetime we accumulate an assorted collection of experiences…some very good, some not so good, some you want to completely forget and others that are very useful and come in very handy. Experience is a great teacher, but passes out tough love when we don’t […]

Hooray for the E…

If alphabet letters had a popularity contest, the E would win hands down. Of course if I were the I, I might put up a protest, as without the I the E could not exist. It’s amazing how easy the E has made our lives, and how dramatically our lives have changed. We now can […]

A Village Midnight…

Time takes on a life of its’ own in The Villages.   I think we all, at one time or another, thought that when we retired we would never have to watch the clock again.  Surprise, we still do, however some things have changed.  We no longer need an alarm clock to wake us up.  We just wake up […]

Traveling South with the Moving Vans and Elephants…

 When I drove back from New Jersey  last week,  I could not get over the amount of Moving Vans heading south. I’ve driven this route many times and never have I been so aware of so many vans.  Could there really be that many people heading south to put down roots?  I think so.  I also […]

Spring has sprung…

The robins have arrived in New Jersey, along with tulips, daffodils and forsythia.  I haven’t experienced Spring in the North in several years, so it brought back many memories.  I remember when my sons were young, another sure sign of spring was the mud they tracked in on their shoes.  I think the winters were […]
