If you believe in luck, I hope you enjoy good luck. I found a four leaf clover this morning. Maybe I will have some good luck, too.

Dottie does not like to get her feet wet. She also does not like to go outside when it is cold. So you can imagine how she feels about being outside in snow!

Isn’t she beautiful? She has such nice markings and the long hair that always surprises people when I tell them she is a Jack Russell. Dottie is the most perfect dog I have ever had. I just love this dog!

Everyone around me is having babies. Nothing makes you feel so old as seeing everyone else pushing baby strollers and realizing that pushing strollers was something you did over 30 years ago. I have to go to another baby shower next weekend. I might as well stock up on baby gifts and keep them at the ready.

We have food, swim rings, bug spray and a great spot on the beach with a view of the fireworks. I miss watching the big show in Washington DC at the monument, but this show lasts 20 minutes and we don’t have to fight the crowds of people. It’s much more peaceful and refreshing to be at the Lake.

He seemed like the perfect man, by his own accounts. He claims to cook gourmet meals, has mastered housework and child care as a single parent with shared custody, has a ton of money from extensive education and a prosperous career, respects women. What more could we ask?

Well, I asked if he can dance and he reluctantly admitted that, no, he has never bothered to learn to dance.

Everyone left the discussion, bitterly disappointed. The search continues.

Today is such a day.  I have two loaves of bread rising in the oven, and I should have them ready to eat with supper.  Home made bread makes a plain meal a lot more “comfort food”-ish.  No one in my house complains about supper when there is a freshly baked loaf of home made bread on the table!

I love their rustic charm and their food is wonderful! And I really like browsing around their gift shop, too!

January is a cold, wet, dark month. I can’t wait for it to end.February is at least a short month, then we can move along into Spring.

Well, to be honest, I started this back in October, but I got busy with work and the holidays and all that family stuff, so it had to go on the back burner for a bit.

Now that Santa has come and gone, and our new year is off to a good start, I am glad to finally have my own little space on the internet to share my thoughts, ideas, feelings, rants and raves.

I’m still learning my way around the blogging thing, but I’m a quick study and I’m looking forward to this new activity.

I hope you stop by often and enjoy reading what I have to say.
