I rarely get headaches, but I came down with a migraine yesterday, to beat all headaches. I’ve heard of people getting them, but never have had one, and truth be known, I so very much feel for folks that have these type of headaches on a consistent basis. I tried some herbal remedies that seemed to help a bit, but I also turned off all the noise in the house, hung blankets on my bedroom windows and suffered through it all. My poor dogs knew something was wrong and tried to “help” by kissing and trying to do the dog hug thing. Bless their little animal hearts. I slept for about 13 hours, and am feeling better now, but I never ever want to experience this again. Ouch!
A great place for plants!
Awhile back I was thinking about how I have been running out of room for all my plants and flowers and also that my house needed some kind of sort of finishing touches. I decided to check out some window boxes. I’m not sure if I’m going to get anymore, as I do indeed have a few, but it was cool checking them out along with all the other various containers to plant in. I do however have to, or actually want to have more space for my living friends.
While browsing I did come across some items I really liked. I loved the idea of garden window boxes, that I actually thought I could plant my herbs in, that seemed to be actually becoming a ground cover in my garden. I thought that they would look nice trailing out of the box itself, and also thought about adding some smaller flowers in with the herbs.
Since I already have a few window flower boxes, I looked at those to see if I could find some that matched. And even if I couldn’t, who cares? I could mix and match them evenly to make a unique look and since it’s my house and what I like, who cares if there might be questions about why I didn’t have boxes that didn’t exactly match one another. I’m not into the normal things like some picky gardeners are. Next spring the neighbors will no doubt be looking over here to see what I am going to add next to my gardens and they may be surprised at what they see!!
RIP My Dear Friend, Lisa.
My best friend Lisa passed on three years ago today. I thought it might get easier to handle as time went on, but it really hasn’t. She was the Thelma to my Louise and vice versa, (or what ever the work or term actually is) depending on the day. We had so many great times together and some not so great, but through thick and thin we were the best of friends. She still is missed and thought of a great deal. So with that said… I love you Lisa and you are in deed missed by me and your children, but you would be so proud of them.
The hot weather I asked for!
Well, I have to say that I am finally getting the hot and humid weather I have asked for. While everyone is complaining about the heat and the humidity and my dogs are moping around looking for a cool place to hang out, I’m in seventh heaven knowing that this won’t last as long as I would like it to. In the mean time, I’ve put out water with ice for the animals, give them special cool dishes that they will eat, instead of dog food and I remember how much I hate the cold winters here and that I am miserable though them. Actually with the ceiling fans going and the box and floor fans on, it’s really not too bad in the house. I hear people who complained about the cold all winter now complaining about the heat we are having now. It never ceases to amaze me when I hear this. Me? I’m just enjoying it all.
BET’s Game is back!
Guest written by our friend, Mario Reed.
There are so many shows that I watch on television, but I have to say that one of my most favorite shows is the new series of The Game on BET. I am so glad that they have decided to bring the show back after what seemed to be an endless season of being off the air. The show has picked up right where it has left off since the finale and I am right back into the grove of things with my apple turnovers and side of vanilla bean ice cream. They have added some new people to the show, making it more exciting than ever, but the old main cast that I have grown to love are still there. I hope that this show stays on as long as possible this time around, for I will remain a big fan of this http://www.directstartv.com premium channel. BET is one of my favorite channels and now that they have my favorite show on there too, it is a blast for me every Tuesday night. I think that as long as the shows premieres every week, it will be my ritual to watch with my snacks handy and the remote locked in. I think that I will even throw a The Game Party, to get my friends involved because all we do is call each other after the show to recap. At least we can all go over the show in front of each other.
