THE BEST MOMENT OF THE DAY

It has been a long day. Maybe not physically exhausting, but mentally draining -- and busy. I've been on the sofa, drawing pictures, watching -- with the other eye -- "Outlander" which I read (most of them, but not all) but never saw. We've been looking for a new show to watch, but so far, … Continue reading THE BEST MOMENT OF THE DAY

LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS?

So, Jefferson, among others said: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Those are three official inalienable rights. Do we actually have these rights? I'm alive, so … Continue reading LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS?

FINALLY, COMFORT WINS

I've been living on a really tight budget for so long, I automatically feel guilty when I spend money on anything that's not a necessity. It's a reflex. At the end of July, we visited friends and they had this great chair. It had a massage and heat function -- and a lift so if … Continue reading FINALLY, COMFORT WINS

COMFORTABLE – BI-WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – Marilyn Armstrong

Bi-Weekly Photo Challenge - Comfort Our house, while crumbling around the edges, is very comfortable. Years ago, we gave up fashion and went for soft furniture on which we can keep our (swelling) ankles up. The dogs like it too. It is not fashionable. It wasn't fashionable 20 years ago and we are not fashionable … Continue reading COMFORTABLE – BI-WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – Marilyn Armstrong

TO SLEEP, PERCHANCE TO DREAM – BY ELLIN CURLEY

My son recently got a very cool new ‘toy’ for his house. A "Sleep Number Bed." He raved about it and had us test it when we went to visit. Tom was instantly smitten. And why not? It has two separate remote controls for each of us AND it connects to the internet via an … Continue reading TO SLEEP, PERCHANCE TO DREAM – BY ELLIN CURLEY

HIDING OUT – Marilyn Armstrong

I would like to say the home wasn't always like this, but that would not be true. Home has always been my hideout. From the first time I finally I got a place of my own, it has been my staging area. This is where I put on the bells, whistles, and makeup I needed for the outside … Continue reading HIDING OUT – Marilyn Armstrong

ALL COMFY? – Marilyn Armstrong

FOWC with Fandango — Comfortable Note: Yes, it is the wrong word, but somehow, this is what popped up in my email this morning. So I'm going with it anyway! Comfortable is what I wish I were, but which, so far, I'm not. Despite a new mattress, pillows, and all that, by the time morning has … Continue reading ALL COMFY? – Marilyn Armstrong

COMFORT LATE AND BED – Marilyn Armstrong

FOWC with Fandango — Comfortable It is late. I am in bed. My mattress is new, but the bed is not. It is nearly 20 years old but if it is not the most comfortable bed in the world, it's pretty close. The room is air-conditioned. Lightly air-conditioned. I've always been averse to heat but … Continue reading COMFORT LATE AND BED – Marilyn Armstrong

EVERYTHING YOU WEREN’T THINKING ABOUT MATTRESSES – Marilyn Armstrong

Let's not talk about the news. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to think about it. Instead, let's talk about mattresses. Because we just got a new one. I'm a born researcher, so when I'm buying anything, I feel I need to learn everything about whatever it is. I'm still in … Continue reading EVERYTHING YOU WEREN’T THINKING ABOUT MATTRESSES – Marilyn Armstrong
