where does the love go?

I guess this question has been posed in many songs and writings and is thought about over and over by many broken hearted souls. Where does the love go?  Two fluttering hearts saying " I do " hoping to spend their lives together fullfilling many dreams they longed to aspire.  The years tumble by like a snowball rolling down the mountain. Time creates a separation between them. The lovers have lost a connection. Individuals alone. Their children have grown and are living their own lives. What happened to ours?  We try to reconnect, usually too late.  Was the marriage meant to prevent this lost connection?  Are we forgetting why we really came together..to love each other..to learn to keep communicating and growing together???  We have to try harder to keep this connection.  Time takes over.... then you ask "where does the love go? "

Snow on the pumpkins

Who would ever expect to see snow on Halloween?  Who would ever want to see snow on her pumpkin on Halloween? Not me!!!!!  Don't have much control over this matter, do I?  Shovels and boots came out to play! The snow was heavy and wet. Not much ado was met..the sun would melt the stuff away! I  spent the evening watching Hocus Pocus on my comfy chair looking at my lit up indoor pumpkins! The power fought to stay on throughout the evening...my candle was burning just in case! Oh well..mother nature played another trick....just have to pick up our mushy pumpkins!  Not such a treat!

Back on My Bike Again!

It was great getting on my bike again!  Rails to trails was looking great since the aftermath of Irene. Getting into Gretna was blocked by a fallen tree, though!  So I biked into Lebanon.  The knees were pedalling without pain! I was in the zone! I just can't believe these people on their super geared bikes!  What kind of workout are they getting without pedalling?  HA! They just soar past! Maybe I'm crazy...or just too cheap to buy a better bike?  The worst part of the ride is  getting off the bike!  HA! I don't think super gears are gonna fix the soreness in my bottom! I have a special seat and wear padded bike shorts!  Getting the bike back on the rack takes a little effort , too!  Whew!  Oh well...it's all worth it!  I had a great sleep last night! I can't wait to ride again!  After a little rest!

It's another yard sale!

    It's summer....and that means yard sale times!  What turns people on about yard sales?  I finally was involved in my community's yard sale earlier this month.  Vans, trucks, and carloads browsing through looking for some bargain! Lots of kiddies' clothes, rundown furniture, kithen items, lots of christmas decorations , including sparkly trees and bulbs , old books, jewelry...you name it!  It's amazing to see hoards of people looking at your unwanted stuff!  It was also interesting to see how items were displayed - in some way that would entice your wonderous gaze!  Some folks even had hotdogs and kraut!  We all know what happens then!  Sometimes you can't pass up a hotdog!  Real savvy!  Maybe..someone will buy a whole boxload of stuff then! Ha!  I actually felt somewhat emotional when over hearing how this certain person may like this picture and where she would hang it!  Someone will be happy with my used stuff!  Maybe this is why they go to yard sales.. to find some thing that will make the buyer or the receiver of a " rare" treasure  happy?  That day I made $6.00!  I didn't care about the money. I was satisfied that someone was happier with my used stuff!  So...keep on going to those yard sales!  Make somebody happy and make a few bucks. too!
