Injuries with accomplishments…

It is unfortunate that as we get older we can injure ourselves very easily. We get out of shape at the drop of a hat. When we were young we never exercised and we could run fast, jump high, fall down, lift anything and we never felt worse for wear. Now we have to work […]

Most unforgettable…

I haven’t actually read a Reader’s Digest for quite some time now, probably in years, but when I had a subscription,  it was a good day each month when it arrived. One of the first articles I would immediately search for and read was “Most Unforgettable Person I’ve Known”.   Over the years I have met many […]

Getting ready…

For the window washer. Why is it we clean before the cleaners come, we vacuum good before the carpets get cleaned, and we make sure the tracks and the windowsills are cleaned for the window washer. Sometimes the amount of work we put into getting ready is the tough part, we might as well go […]

All grown up…

I don’t know where it came from, but the other day at Water Aerobics, someone exercising behind me was explaining the moves to a newcomer.

Something for everyone, even the dogs…

As a person who grew up with dogs and does not have one for the first time in my life,  I especially  love to observe the dogs in The Villages.  I have come to the conclusion that they are the luckiest dogs in the world…they are walked, trotted and run,  up and down the recreation […]

315 Holes of Golf….

Have received the Audubon International’s Silver Certified Sanctuary Designation in The Villages. I ran across this statement recently and thought it would be interesting to find out what exactly that meant. When looking into it I found that roughly 12 years ago The Villages endorsed the Audubon International’s Silver Certified Sanctuary designation and since that […]

Be happy and The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel…

I’m happy, my computer is up and running again.  That wasn’t too bad…took it to MMD Computers one day and got it back the next.  When the technician called regarding the problems, he enthusiastically told me  my hard drive was good.  By the tone of his voice, I figured I was really lucky and breathed a sigh of relief, not sure […]
