THE MOST TALKED ABOUT SUBJECT IN THE WORLD……..

You guessed it—the weather.  And what a week it’s been.  Those poor people in the northeast are getting slammed.  My friend, Susie, is stuck in Washington, D.C. because her flight has been delayed — for 2 days.  Thank goodness, she has a second home there.  I told her at least your not stranded in the airport, sleeping on the floor.  And you know what all that horrible weather means?  Those people are gonna be movin’ south!  (I just hope they bring water with them.)  But, they’ll probably go back north after going through an August in Texas.  As for me, today will be spent getting ready for watching the Academy Awards and of course, the red carpet before (I’ll miss Joan Rivers!).  I know, I know it is self promotion but just allow me...

WHERE DID THE ROMANCE GO?

What is happening to Valentines Day?  It used to be about couples celebrating their love.  Flowers.  Chocolate.  Going out for dinner.  You know, it was row-mannnn-tick.  Now, there are celebrations for “Valentine haters”.  I must admit, the day does put a little pressure on people and thank goodness people are figuring out you can celebrate with anyone, but I do detect a little sarcasm this year…………….  I’m kinda enjoying it.              ...

ONE IS SILVER AND THE OTHER GOLD

                                                           Make New Friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other, gold.   Yesterday, I met my friend, Teri, for lunch in Fredericksburg for lunch at Vaudeville (you simply must go).  It was the perfect storm.  A beautiful day, divine food, and being with a dear friend that I’ve know since my Kerrville days — ummmm, that would be over twenty years, ago.  How I have stayed friends has been a really challenge.  Teri is this little bitty petite thing, the epitome of cuteness, and on top of all that—the sweetest person you will ever meet.  Yes, it’s really nauseating, but I’ve held in...

OKAY, I GET IT……

OKAY, I GET IT……

It’s really yucky outside—rainy and quite cool.  So, here I am, sitting on the sofa, watching a golf tournament.  Cue the screeching tires.  Whhhhaaaattttt??? Am I not the person who used to say watching a golf tournament is like watching a hair cut?  Yes, mam.  And now, not only do I watch it on the tube, I actually play it.   Obviously, I am a late starter but the interesting thing is the hurdles I overcame when I decided to take it up.  My first goal was to be just good enough so I could be like those obnoxious golfers that come into the bar after he and his buddies have played a round.  Not really.  And by the way , golf does not stand for Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden.  Anyway, back to my...
