ROAD TRIP

A few months ago my sister and a good friend of ours decided to take a spur of the moment vacation.  Our destination……………San Francisco.  The air fare was cheap and we were able to stay at a 5 star hotel for a great price. It was destiny! Kismet, I tell you!

My sister and I travel great together, so we were hoping our friend would roll with things, too.  She was quite agreeable as long as she could carry around a loaf of sourdough bread and a tub of butter!  She tends to get cranky if she is not fed regularly. My sister and I just rolled our eyes and pictured how ridiculous she was going to look.

I had no idea what to expect on this trip, as I had never been to California. 

There was not one part of SF I didn’t love………The Golden Gate Bridge, Union Square, Fisherman’s Warf (Irish coffee…yum!), Ghirardelli Square (need I say more?), Trolley, Muir Woods, Sausalito (I know my next husband was there, but he didn’t happen to come out of his house while I was there…………..his loss)………..

The shopping was great. …………….just ask my credit card.   This vacation was the greatest spur of the moment I had done in a long time.

I guess I have to  admit………….as ‘county bumpkin’ as it may have looked, I certainly did enjoy my share of sourdough bread chunks!

But I will never admit it to my friend…………….

Repairs

I ended up having knee surgery last month.  I could barely walk the pain was so bad, and I was reduced to wearing “sensible” shoes! Gasp!!!

That was the only reason I agreed to the surgery.  I could not be without my diva shoes any longer.  So, surgery was a success, and I only had to take one day off work.  It was hard to walk the next day, so I borrowed my mother’s walker to help me get around. (I have seen my future, and it is not pretty).

My grandaughters Diva and Drama Queen had a ball racing around the house with this new wheeled contraption at Grandma’s.  When they came over the next week, they asked if I still had the walker.  I told them that I returned it to Great Grandma.

Diva pouted. “But, we wanted to play old lady……………….we were going to be 39 years old!”

I don’t even want to know what they call me………………………..

End Of Your Rope

Haven’t we all felt this way one time or another?

And, yes, all we can do is ‘hang on’…………………..

Life Is a Melody

I have lived my life thinking life should be a Bon Jovi song.  Very sweet, loving and happily ever after.

Imagine my surprise to find out it really is a Grand Slam Heavy Metal Jam! Hard, heavy and head banging.

Now, how did I make this monumental discovery, you may wonder? 

well…………………

I had a class reunion this summer.  (Yes, it was a very high number!!!) I was really looking forward to it, as I had not been to one in many, many years.  I had a great time, renewed some acquaintances and turned a few heads! Of course I had on a pair of my favorite drop dead stiletto’s and sexy top!  Life was good.  Very, very good that night.

As I arrived home, I was horrified to discover my house had been broken into and I had been robbed!  They took all my gold jewelry, cash, passport and driver license.  (I can only hope my name doesn’t become the next terrorist!)

Yep, Heavy Metal…………………..

I think Guns ‘n Roses are right…………”Welcome To The Jungle”.
