EMILY'S ESCAPADES

I am trying to be so clever. That's difficult for me to do. I am so plane-Jane and I want to be Artsy-Annie. I love the creative arts, all of it, music, dance, painting, song, crafting, writing, and anything else that's sparks imagination. I am not very good at it though, except crafting. I love to sing. One time on our way home from church I was singing in the car and my dad said, "I wish you sang on the radio." Awe, thanks Dad, that's nice!" I proudly replied. He quipped, "

Sorry if you missed me yesterday. I took Sunday off. Bruce and I tried to keep the day as normal as we could. We started by NOT listening to the news. I just needed something uplifting and I wasn't going to get it from anything the airwaves were sending out. I figured one day away from broadcasts wouldn't harm us. Instead of attending church, we streamed it. Not quite the same, but it's the best we can do right now. After "church" we had breakfast, then gathered our trash to

Howdy everyone. I trust you made it through another day. What day is it anyway? Day 20? Day21? Day 45, or more? I guess it's different depending on where you are from? According to my daily dose of laughs from Bob Marley, it's day 21, so I'll go with that. So yesterday I posted about not herding. Guess our neighbors on our road didn't get the message. Apparently three different families had get togethers today. Really? I heard it second hand when I called to check on a few pe

It's hard to be an adventure writer when you don't venture out of your house. There is plenty to do inside, no shortage of chores to be done. I purposely ignored my list and also looked the other way as dust bunnies snuck out from their hiding places as I brushed passed them. I have all I can do to keep the surfaces and dishes clean, the floors will have to wait. I'd have more time if I didn't spend it messing around with unproductive activities. But it was fun. If I cannot

I want to thank you all for taking time to visit my site and read my words. I started this journey of blogging with the intent if just one person read something I wrote and it improved their well-being in some way, no matter how insignificant, then I felt it was worth it. Never did I think I would be getting more out of it then I put into it. Writing has given me an another outlet to share and to serve. I just love serving others and sharing. So thank you for keeping me accou

I made it. Old Blog converted to New Blog. It only took me all day and two one hour phone calls with tech support. Not even sure if the changes will even be noticeable. It was something that needed to be done. I put off the inevitable as long as I could. I truly despise it when technology doesn't work the way it says it will. I know most of the time it is user error, but that only makes me feel worse. It is good to have that behind me. One more item checked off my master list

Woke up to this. (View from my pillow) I heard it was coming. Friends and relatives from out of state sent texts and pictures alerting us to what was headed our way. I refused to believe it. Just yesterday and the day before we were outside doing minimal spring cleanup. That's what we get for putting away the snowshoes and snowblower. We should have known better. Once can take it to the bank that Maine will have a snow storm or two in March. It sure is pretty though. Just a c

Anyone have one of these on your fridge? And I am not talking about for your kids, this is mine. To go with it is the daily schedule. I need structure. I don't like structure, but I need it. I prefer to go with the flow, fly by the seat of my pants, live in the moment, and whatever euphemism describes an abstract random personality. So, I created myself chores lists. I am more productive that way. I built in a back up claus for myself so I wouldn't feel stressed about not fol

Happy Sunday everyone, wishing you all the blessings you desire in this time of isolation. I don't know about you, but Sundays are usually spent going to church and doing family stuff. This will be the third Sunday in a row we have been homebound. The first two because we didn't have a ride. And today, it was because of the virus. To quote my dear friend Jennifer's Instagram post, "Not going to church WILL save lives. You won't fry in hell or lose your salvation because you s

Yesterday I told you I had a different sort of adventure planned for today, which was actually yesterday. But my time frame doesn't necessarily follow the 24hr clock. It is when I get up and go to bed. It's 2:48am Saturday morning, but for me, it is still part of Friday. Saturday doesn't happen until I go to bed and wake back up, which hopefully won't be until several hours of ZZZZZZZZ's Hubby's and my adventure started with picking up a UHaul trailer from our son's place.
