Tomorrow is my son’s 27th birthday and I wanted to share this cool picture of him and his groomsmen before his wedding. I love this. We also had the father of the groom and grandfather of the groom in the same socks. Fun times!

Annoyed
I’ve been in an annoyed state for a while about a person who seems intent on sending me into orbit at least two to three times a week. For a time, I tolerated this person but things started to get worse and now I actively dislike her. I’m not normally someone who dislikes people but this particular human has insulted me over and over and I can no longer overlook it.
This person says unkind things to me and when I react, I get this response: “Oh, sorry, I thought you had a sense of humor.” Well, I’m here to tell you, I do have a sense of humor. I laugh all the time and I don’t understand people who don’t find humor in life but I don’t like cruel or mean humor. It’s so not cool.
I made a decision not to engage with this person but the person will not back off and leave me alone. When I told my son how this person makes me feel, he said, “Ignore it.”
I told him I was trying but then the person would ask why I was ignoring them. I told my son that part too and he said, “Ignore that, too.” He’s only 19 but he’s wise.
I am doing my best to make sure I don’t interact with this person- I just wish they’d take the hint and disappear. Anyone out there had an experience like this? Any advice to offer?

Started a New Story
I started a new story today- I have like 208 words so far and have no idea what it’s going to be about or where it’s going. A scene came to me as I drove this morning so I jotted part of it when I got to where I was going. I think the first line is a doozy and I can’t wait to see where my mind takes me with this one. I’ve had this first line in my head for a while so I’m sure the old subconscious has been mulling it over and is ready to feed me the story since it fed me the scene today.
I love, love the joy of the journey of discovery on first drafts.

Sharing a Building I Love
This building is in Switzerland. Isn’t it lovely? On a cold day like today, I’d love to be inside by a fireplace with some Swiss cocoa, a fur throw and a small dog for company. How about you?

A Lovely Plant-
This is in my friend’s yard and I sure wish I knew what it is. It’s so pretty. Any ideas? It’s not holly.

An Amusing Email
I got this in an email today from a friend and it absolutely cracked me up. I don’t know the origin of it but wanted to share it anyway. If anyone knows where it originated, please let me know so I can give proper credit.

Grave in Edinburgh
This cemetery in Edinburgh, Scotland was beautiful but some of the tombstones were sadly neglected and on the ground.
