What about ....???

What about..... this file I keep on my computer?  It is a file I have labeled "daily inspirations", it has quotes and sayings that I started keeping way back in 2000.  I was never sure why I kept these but I have decided that I'm gonna share.  I'll post them on days when my creative writing dial doesn't turn up all the way to high.

Some of these will be funny, some insightful, others will be motivating while some will bring tears to your eyes.  I will take them from the file as they are - in no special order.

So with that...........


Next on the list -


As long as you're going to be thinking anyway, THINK BIG.



When the kids were young, probably early teenagers, we kinda combined this saying with another one........  Lindsey do you remember?????

What about.... July 2011

I've been busy..........  here's a few pictures just to let you know I haven't been watching soap opera's and eating bon bons in July
The bride and her Dad

Yet another picture of the happy couple......

The smoke..... a clear sign we can now call them husband and wife - As always, the cannons represent a celebratory event in Jewettville

She doesn't drink but the mention of champagne and she's there!!  There's still a little kid in her that just like to pop those corks!




My parents, celebrating 50 years - I know they look 50 years old but it's their 50th anniversary


Not sure what this is all about - but it's worth sharing

50 years and still cuttin' a rug - did I mention they met at a dance?

This would be the St. Pierre table -

After the wedding.....  a trip nawth (north)   - What better place for a pee break   Happy Hour Hair Salon - they knew we were coming!

Sometimes ya gotta pee and there's no time to take the slippers off

Mt. Washington - okay, it's really Mt. Katadin - but I haven't been able to call it by it's correct name for about 2 years.   So now I don't fight it - Mt Washington it is!

Get out of the road!!!!  Thank you.

A trip up nawth always entails hours of back road riding.....  Jeff's jeep got a little hot under the tires and decided she would trying flying.... Didn't work, but what an idea.

Speaking of tires....... whooops, wrong picture.  Not sure what this is about either but Dan, you're about to get kicked!!

Okay, now, speaking of tires  - well, let's just say Wayne isn't driving Carol's truck anymore - but it is nice to travel with the NASCAR pit crew.  They can change a flat tire in the middle of nowhere in an hour, FLAT! (you bet that pun was absolutely intended!)  Nice job Wayne,  somebody's gotta manage the crew!

The Moody Jr fam - Yes folks, the big guy on the left is "Little Jimmy"!!!  (your welcome, Jimmy)

Found my next Jeep - but I think I'll get it in navy or air force, which ever one will take me.   Sorry, that one was bad.

RETAIL THERAPY  - nuf said.

Did someone say therapy - we may need it after seeing the palm tree 2 miles from the Candian border!?!?!   Oh, and by the way, up close it looked like an pine tree - go figure that one out.







Just couldn't get that daughter of mine to pose!  Somethings she gets from her father!  I told her maybe if I posed real pretty, instead of The Bachelorette"  I could be on the show - "This Old Lady"  kinda like the Bachelorette meets "This Old House"! or instead of "Who Wants to Marry My Dad" ( 'member that one?) It could be "Who Wants to Hide my Mother"   Okay, moving on.......

In case you can't read the sign - it says Fort Kent

We did a lotta riding and picture takin'

We returned home to see half the roof gone on the elementary school my father, Jeff , me and Lindsey attended.   Kinda sad, huh?

We had visitors for our anniversay dinner!  They said they would be back soon to visit.

We haven't had many of our evening "Booze Cruises" this summer - but it ain't over yet!

Then off to a charity golf tournament - I a l m o s t got this car - a hole in one! - Really, not even close - but a girl can dream, can't she?

Pre-game discussions - where's that mouse in the corner?  I would like him to report these discussions.

Next, a 25th and 50th anniversary party for my cousin and aunt and uncle.  Here's a picture, Dad and Uncle Herbert  - isn't this a nice picture! 

Jeff's brother Jerry and his long time girlfriend, Charlotte.  Why Jerry, is that a smile!!??!!

Jeff and the Dr.  - what's up the those serious faces - it's party boys!  Something tells me they're talking shop!

I maybe busy and travel near and far (of Maine) but this is what I come home to......

And this is why I don't go away on vacation......  Why would I leave this?


So, what is it about my July that has left my head spinning, mind racing, body exhausted..... Oh wait, could it be -wedding, anniversary, my anniversary (31 years, no wonder I'm tired) trip to all points nawth, golf tournament, picnic at friends, days of 90 + temps,  yet - I can't wait for October - Did you think I was gonna say August?  Wrong - I hate August!  but I sure do like the nip in the air on these early mornings and evenings.  Maybe this August won't be so bad.  Anyway, August, here I come!  - and my new saying "Put on your seatbelts folks, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
