Today is the first day of June. Are you already thinking about Father’s Day like I am? For June’s blogs, thought I would repost favorite past posts I have shared on Facebook about my dad. I wrote the following post back in 2014… ” Kitty Kallen wasn’t joking when she sang, Little Things Mean a…

Happy birthday to my Brilliant Red FIAT, LOOCIL! She says turning 8 is GREAT and that it still makes her blush when she’s told she looks new. Since today’s celebration is about a car, I thought for today’s blog I would share with you a post I wrote on Facebook back in 2015 about LOOCIL’s…

Mother’s Day has come and gone, yet thoughts of her linger on. So, it looks like she will be starring in another little blog. When us kids were little, we would ask our parents to tell us stories about when they were little. A story my mom told us kids over and over was about…

On February 6, 2018, I wrote a post on Facebook about a dream I had about my grandma. Then, earlier this year it showed up on my “memories”, so I shared it again. Recently, I have been thinking about this experience and I want to share it yet again on this blog, so here it…

Last week I blogged about how I am a perfectionist and I’m very obsessive. What I didn’t mention last week is that I am also a control freak. I suppose it goes without saying, control freak, obsessive and perfectionist, all hold hands. Rarely does one of them go somewhere without the other. When I find…

The good news, I tell my husband, I didn’t just wake up one day like this. I have always been like this. I was referring to how I am obsessive, I’m a perfectionist and I get overwhelmed easily. I understand now, the getting overwhelmed easily. I put so much pressure on myself to have things…

I was born in Tucson, Arizona and when I was around two, my family moved to Stockton, California. During the time we lived in California, I always enjoyed going back to Arizona to visit family. However, when it was time to move back to Tucson, Arizona, I was not in the mood. The move took…
