Team Edward

Nothing against Jacob, and Edward isn’t all that good looking. But Edward has such self control! I admire that. Jacob still acts like a teenager, all hot headed and jealous. I’m all for Team Edward.

Thanks, Everyone!

What a nice birthday! Thanks to everyone for the cards and Facebook messages. It was a happy day – nothing special other than a wonderful dinner at P. F. Changs with my family. That was special enough for me – I really enjoyed that.

Happy Birthday ME!

Another birthday! Where does the time go?

We are going to have a nice dinner at a good asian restaurant tonight. Other than that, I hope it is just a lazy, pleasant day.

Price of Beef

Donna — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 15:12:37 +0000

The price of beef has been inching upwards all year. It is getting very hard to afford the good cuts of beef for regular family dinners. I have had to cut back on steaks for just special occasions.

I think it is time to start exploring different ways to cook fish. If you have any favorite recipes, please share!

Happy Birthday America!

Even with all out faults and problems, America is still the greatest country in the world! Happy Birthday, America!

Sunday Paper

Donna — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 14:31:37 +0000

We did not get our Sunday paper this morning. I went out at 6:30, then again at 7:30 and there’s no paper. My neighbors don’t subscribe, so I don’t know if the paper carrier came though here or not, as there are no other driveways to check and see if they got one and just not me. This is so frustrating. I was looking forward to sipping on my cup of coffee and reading the paper this morning for an hour or so while everyone else sleeps in late and the house is quiet. Bummer!

If It Is Still Dark Out, I Should Be Sleeping

Summer Vacation

Donna — Wed, 26 May 2010 04:58:48 +0000

School is almost out. Tomorrow is the last full day of school and then the kids go Thursday long enough to pick up their final report cards and clean out their lockers. I think all the library books have been rounded up and turned in. So we are good to go! Bring on the summer!

Stand By Me

Donna — Fri, 14 May 2010 02:18:12 +0000

One of my favorite songs from long ago is “Stand By Me.” I just love the idea of having someone in your life so loyal to you that they would be by your side – no matter what.

Then a movie came out with that title. It was a really good movie – very well written and totally believable dialogue and story line. Haven’t seen that movie in a very long time, so I thought it would be fun to pop it in the DVD player and watch it while doing laundry and some general housework.

Flash Floods

Donna — Tue, 04 May 2010 03:50:41 +0000

In all the years I’ve lived here, I have seen some flooding, but nothing like the rain and flooding we are having this weekend. It has been raining very hard, almost constantly, for 3 straight days. The highways are under water and entire neighborhoods are being evacuated. Scary times for Tennessee, but we are on high ground and should be safe.
