My So-Called Life: May 2014
http://bekkieslife.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 24, 2014. Upstairs Doors and Floors Remodel Finished. The remodel has really been finished for a couple of months, and I did get the rooms put together for the most part, but never took any pictures because of one thing and another in my life at the time. Now might be a good time to show a couple of the changes. Dining room with wood floors. The flooring also extends down the hallway and stairs, and into the TV room. I kept carpet in the other two bedrooms. Sunday, May 18, 2014. Almost noth...

My So-Called Life: June 2015
http://bekkieslife.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 28, 2015. The only planning I do is lunches and shopping for the week for the grandkids. I actually write a menu and shop on Sunday. That removes the pressure of trying to think of something every day. At the end of the day, I regroup, drink a little wine on the patio in the company of my sweet pup. The birds come in for one last feeding, and the sun provides a work of art as it sets. And I think things are not so bad and I'm pretty sure I can do it all again tomorrow. Monday, June 1, 2015.

The Sand , The Sea . . . and Me: July in May
http://findingfloridaatfifty.blogspot.com/2015/05/july-in-may.html
The Sand , The Sea . . . and Me. A salty journal of sunrises, seashells, and shorebirds. May 15, 2015. The weather has been humid and a little hot, more like June or July than May, here in NE Florida…I've taken to getting up before 6 am to get to the beach just before sunrise, to beat the heat…and the other shell seekers. I've also spent three hours on the beach the past couple visits…amazing how time flies when you're having fun…. 8230;I also find a few scallops and several slippersnails…. The beaches o...

My So-Called Life: Late Summer Yard
http://bekkieslife.blogspot.com/2015/08/late-summer-yard.html
Saturday, August 15, 2015. The arch I added for the wisteria in the front has proven to be just what I wanted. It appears in some of the last pictures here. So without further explanation, here's the mid-August yard. Looking very fresh and sprightly for late summer.:) Mine here is pathetic but recent shoulder surgery has kept me out of action. August 18, 2015 at 5:18 PM. Oh, that shoulder surgery is tough. Hope it heals well and you have that mobility again before long. August 19, 2015 at 8:51 AM.

The Sand , The Sea . . . and Me. A salty journal of sunrises, seashells, and shorebirds. April 27, 2014. A Lucky Ducky Lifer. Our rambling RV'er friends returned to their favorite campground recently, and after a pleasant lunch, hubby headed off to work while I hung out awhile…the three of us enjoyed some relaxation at the beach, needless to say…. While lounging like lazy lizards, we noticed a dark duck shape come bopping along from the north. Meanwhile, back at the ranch (or cottage)…. I'm tickled that ...

My So-Called Life: March 2015
http://bekkieslife.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2015. I finished my winter indoor projects and am very happy with the results. The rooms feel finished, homey, and welcoming. The new season is upon us. The blooms and the fragrant air can't help but lift our spirits. It's a little chilly for sitting more than a few minutes on the patio today (although it has been in the 70s this month and will be again later this week). But I wanted to grab a picture of the earliest blooms just for perspective as the summer progresses. Much of the ref...

My So-Called Life: November 2014

Friday, November 28, 2014. Thanksgiving 2014 - Going Vegan. Preparing all the food for Thanksgiving is a lot of work, from the planning and shopping, to the prep, cooking and serving. This year my daughter, who is vegetarian, invited some friends, one of whom who is vegan. No problem. I've had a couple of vegetarians for quite a few years now, so I'm already used to either converting dishes to vegetarian or making alternative dishes. The 2014 holidays are officially launched. Once again, switching the li...

My So-Called Life: December 2014
http://bekkieslife.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Happy Birthday to me - a little late. I kept it low key this year. I'm 67 now. I feel ambivalent about the number. But I find my life rather unrecognizable after this tumultuous year, and I feel like I've lost some continuity somewhere. I've made the usual lists and resolutions and am moving with positivity and hope toward 2015. But also with some wistfulness. Would things be different if I had an anchor? 8220;When You Are Old". WHEN you are old and grey and full of sleep,.
