Super Floof! For those in a silly mood......:OP
Comments (29)I have a robo vac and her name is ROSIE!!! Named after the Jetsons maid just like you suggested. I love my Rosie. She’s now 3 years old. Heres a funny: I had her scheduled to come on in the evening earlier this year, to vacuum the bedrooms. It was a dark and rainy night when I heard her come on and start down the hall. My immediate thought: oh! It’s dark in the bedrooms and Rosie can’t see! I better go turn the lights on for her. Doh!!...See MoreSemi Floof Post ---Breaking Bread
Comments (58)I guess I must be some kind of dinosaur :-) I was raised in an age where social decorum and learning proper table manners was just as much a part of one's education as was learning your times tables and spelling!! Young women of a certain age often went to charm school or took a course in social etiquette that instructed one in how to properly navigate social interaction on various levels. Knowing how to dress for various occasions, what was accepted dinnertime conversation, what fork to use when, how to set a table correctly, how to break (NEVER cut!!) and butter a dinner roll according to the accepted procedures of the time, etc. were standard topics that we all learned. And this was a typical urban middle class upbringing.....nothing posh or relegated only to the wealthy upper class. So these "rules" are pretty much ingrained in me. And while our approach to these situations is much more casual these days and with less reliance on what may actually be outdated rules of etiquette, those who do not follow them do stand out, at least in my eyes. Good manners remain good manners, even if times change....See MoreFloof! Those feel good moments.....
Comments (22)Busy day at work. Seriously, because the time goes fast, but that means a lot of things happened that needed to happen. Doing things I don't know that I've ever done before. I never knew I could snorkel. Never knew I could rollerskate after having quit for a couple of decades. I didn't know I could do plumbing or drywall until I tried it. Even more satisfying, is when I'm good at whatever it is I'm trying to do! Not everybody's good at drywall. I love to re-read things I've written years ago, and by re-read, I mean in my hold- it - in - my - hands journal. It's amazing how far I've come, and the things I thought about, are still relevant. Though, more fleshed out. Nice to figure them out....See MoreFloof! Those "Zen" moments.
Comments (11)When my riding coach and I are able to trail ride alone, without others, we rarely speak. There is one part of the forest we refer to as our church. The sun shining through the leaves of the towering trees, the heavily duffed trail where it narrows softens the sound of the hoofbeats, looking down on the basin below, the whole experience is ethereal. My second favorite place to find myself in a zen moment is sunset near the ocean. Love to sit on a quiet pier hearing the sounds of the critters winding down to sleep, the boats in their slips, birds flying home to roost for the night. One night I was lucky to be sitting out during a full moon. A huge flock of gulls crossed in front of the moon and continued on overhead. So awesome....See More

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoIt was too silly to remember, but I do remember that we were both laughing a lot. Here's another photo from the same party:
I remember more of my conversation with Bruce Vilanch. I had given my camera to a friend of a friend to take this photo, and he was so in awe of Bruce that he was fumbling with the camera and had a hard time taking this photo. Bruce said, "Look at him! He's Japanese and doesn't even know how to use the camera!" Bruce was a real riot to talk with and difficult to keep up with in conversation.amylou321 thanked Lars
