Off The Grid: December 2013
http://cabinwriter.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Observations and personal opinions from an adventuresome Southern retired teacher who still finds life exciting. Tuesday, December 24, 2013. Bye, Bye Holidays. This year was hectic. Illness prevailed. Gifts purchased with little thought. The “real looking” tree remained in its box. Can’t I have Christmas my. With Son 2 here this year, the evening. Begins the magic: sitting in front of fire drinking hot apple cider, nibbling cheese on fancy crackers, and snuggling with pets Ace, Deuce, and Scratch. They w...

Observations and personal opinions from an adventuresome Southern retired teacher who still finds life exciting. Monday, February 17, 2014. How can one be sympathetic/empathetic for the family of a lost one when tradition overshadows the life of the deceased? I'm sick of the television series "Say Yes to the Dress". To pay thousands of dollars for the "perfect" dress worn once that previously the act of choosing caused tears and anger among family members who supposedly were to support the bride-to-b...

Off The Grid: I Know I'm Getting Older
http://cabinwriter.blogspot.com/2015/01/i-know-im-getting-older.html
Observations and personal opinions from an adventuresome Southern retired teacher who still finds life exciting. Sunday, January 11, 2015. I Know I'm Getting Older. On two occasions when my husband and I wanted an item from a store, no clerk seemed to know what we were talking about. R ran out of cotton handkerchiefs. He went to a large store, WM, found a clerk and asked, "Where are men's handkerchiefs? Had handkerchiefs gone out of existence? Is it the big box connected to my screen? A Cuban in London.

Observations and personal opinions from an adventuresome Southern retired teacher who still finds life exciting. Tuesday, April 14, 2015. The Perils of Growing Older. For years I've related to friends, doctors, dentists, nurses - practically everybody I've conversed with - that I'm planning to live to be 140 years old. I didn't announce this because I was attempting to equal or compete with the oldest man in the Old Testament; no, I needed a goal. I retired at age sixty. The first appointment I made ...

lifesajourney: February 2009
http://lifesajourney-brooke.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 19, 2009. Nelson Island School (Toksook Bay). My final village visit this trip was to Toksook Bay. I have to admit, this is my favorite village. It is the largest village I visit, and in the most beautiful spot right on the shores of the arctic ocean. There is a herd of Musk Ox nearby (although I have not seen them yet! This was the village I visited first back in October. The people are great and very welcoming. This is the only way you will know if a plane is coming! After attending ...

Thursday, April 16, 2009. Towels Earplugs = SLEEP!

Off The Grid: Lying Down on the Job
http://cabinwriter.blogspot.com/2014/09/lying-down-on-job.html
Observations and personal opinions from an adventuresome Southern retired teacher who still finds life exciting. Thursday, September 18, 2014. Lying Down on the Job. We don't often have to buy necessities that have a 10-20 year warranty. Refrigerator, check; freezer, check; washing machine, check; dryer; microwave, check. Mattress? He spends hours perusing a model, checking his copy of Consumer Digest, musing about the size, the ability to perform. And that goes for mattresses, also. This couple spent on...

Observations and personal opinions from an adventuresome Southern retired teacher who still finds life exciting. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. A Brief Moment from Writing. When I received notice I had won one of four prizes in my category, I told my family ( who for once sat up at attention and stayed alert until Sat night the 12 of July.) The family told me to text what place as soon as I could. I did manage to their delight. Links to this post. Labels: Alabama Writers Conclave. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Off The Grid: January 2014
http://cabinwriter.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Observations and personal opinions from an adventuresome Southern retired teacher who still finds life exciting. Tuesday, January 07, 2014. A Few Weeks Have Passed. Since I ranted and raved about celebrating holidays. Regardless of how I felt, the celebration continued. I'm not one to avoid celebrating the time to remember why this is set aside, but the pressure of a lot of activity in the house at my advancing age is a bit much. May the coming days and months bring blessings/goodwill to all of you.
