Yep. Good stuff.
Today, we’ve learned that Paul Ryan, the leader of the Republican Party in the United States of America, where I live and work, has stated his party’s intentions to defund Planned Parenthood. With that in mind, I thought I would share some brief history. In 1800, the average birth rate for the American woman was […]

Nothing offers camouflage quite as well as the color pink. I called this one, “Can You See Me Now?”
I took this photo at a local store that specializes in hunting and fishing paraphernalia, i.e. fishing rods, guns, ammunition, etc. I’m not sure how a pacifier fits their target demographic, but then my degree isn’t in marketing.
There are too many things going on in this packaging for me to come up with a single title. Note the, “Ages 6 months to 99 years” recommendation in the lower left hand corner. Perhaps I should call this one, “A Gift for the Ages!”
Maybe I should focus on the whole Broadway Baby/fame aspect. How about, “I’m ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille,” or “Kim Kardashian, Eat Your Heart Out.”
Suggestions are welcome.
I found this in the “ugly Christmas sweater” clearance bin at J.C. Penney yesterday. So many titles came to mind, but I’m going with, “Holy Bad Taste!”
I still can’t believe I’m going to Ireland in June. Granted, I’ll probably not get near any of these sites, but a girl can dream.
Today we will do a bit of hill walking as most of us have consumed those extra calories between the Christmas and New Year day 😉 Comeragh Mountains is a good place to start since you have already seen them from the top of beautiful Slievenamon. Here she is, my favorite mountain, as seen from the ascent to the Long Hill of the Comeraghs. First of all we will find the source of peculiar clouds that look so nice in the photographs, so let’s walk towards Slievenamon and have a closer look.
Bulmers! Or Magners, as the product is called outside of Ireland. Famous Irish Cider brewery is situated right next to Slievenamon. It also produces clouds 😦 Just look at the next image.
It is not always that bad though, but some days are worse than the others.
Dramatic clouds enhance your photographs, but is this steam emission harmless? I don’t know.

Humbling and moving piece by Jan Wilberg.
From the pay phone attached to the coral stucco wall of the La Jolla Resort, I could see the Chinese lanterns lit over the shuffleboard court, a couple sitting in lawn chairs holding hands and looking out on to the Florida Bay, a rented fishing boat with a Bimini top rocking, the sound of its sweet tapping carrying across the yard of sand and palm trees, softened by the bougainvillea draped at every turn, every corner.
It was 1988.
The trip to Islamorada was to celebrate my 40th birthday and the fact that we were finally out from under the expense and difficulty of having adopted a little boy from Nicaragua with a heart defect 18 months before. He had had surgery, was in day care, and was bright and happy. The four of us, my husband and I, our 15-year old daughter, and our mended boy were in love…

Excellent piece. Conservatives don’t have a lock on Christianity. In fact, I’m not sure they know how to find the door.
The New York Times today published an article titled “Why Rural America Voted for Trump”, written by Robert Leonard. I am still struggling to understand Trump votes, so I read it.
The article describes an entirely different mindset between the two political parties. The author quotes a baptist minister JC Watts who said “The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans believe people are fundamentally bad, while Democrats see people as fundamentally good,” — meaning if a person commits a crime, Democrats try to find what societal trigger made the criminal, and Republicans think the criminal is a bad person. He went on to say that Republicans believe God made them and Democrats believe they are their own God.
“We teach them how to be good,” he said. “We become good by being reborn — born again.”
He continued: “Democrats believe that we are born good…

“Family Cat likes Family Guy” is the title of this piece.
I call this one, “Keeping it Classy.”
Here it is, the fabled, “End of the Road.”
