Barfing my way across the USA….Georgetown, TX…Chapter 6
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 30, 2009
Needed to use up a free Southwest airline ticket so decided to visit friends that live in Georgetown, TX, a Del Web “retirement” community. However, if I was writing their propoganda, I would refer to it as “senior years on a college campus”. A good example: these “old” (loose term) people do Halloween up right….they [...]
Barfing my way across the USA….Fenway Park, Boston, Chapter 5
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 29, 2009
Yep, folks, Fenway Park, the real Fenway Park, and get this…..in the broadcast booth is where my next barfing escapade took place. Men…..eat your heart out!!! My SIL, being a staunch Cubs fan, couldn’t wait to tell his Red Sox buddies of my good fortune!
Hubby had the brainy idea to purchase Dockers Pants for free [...]
Barfing my way across the USA – Albuquerque – Chapter 4
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 28, 2009
We, hubby and I, love the Southwest! I think my love of it is in my genes since Pocahontas and other Indians and I go way, way, way back.
January ‘09, we decided we needed a long week-end get-away – hoping for nice weather, etc., we chose Albuquerque, New Mexico. The architecture is very intriguing along with [...]
Barfing my way across the USA – Oak Alley Plantation – Chapter 3
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 27, 2009
Famous and infamous, Oak Alley Plantation is located between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, LA. It is one of the most impressive plantations to vist. It was built in 1839. And I, dear readers, had the distinct pleasure of being offered the “staff” restroom to barf in.
Where I used to work was a hoot! We [...]
Barfing my way across the USA – Disney World, Chapter 2
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 26, 2009
Another glorious trip to FL to visit daughter and son-in-law….resulting in a last minute “hey, let’s go to Disney World”. When I was younger, much, much younger, I absolutely adored Disney World! I still do, it’s just the age-thing won’t let me enjoy all the wonderful rides without paying for it afterwards.
We had rented a [...]
Barfing my way across the USA….Ft. Myers
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 25, 2009
Many years ago when the oldest daughter moved to FL, I began a medical mystery that to this day haunts me.
For some reason, when I fly (anywhere), within 48 hours I get very ill and vomit, turn extremely pale, feel like crap, but eventually return to “normalcy”.
The first time this mysterious illness happened was the [...]
It’s time for a 3 party system
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 24, 2009
I firmly believe it is now time for a 3-party system in the US…..the Democrats, the Republicans, and the Party of Common Sense.
As soon as a politician gets “the” vote, he/she seems to lose all common sense…..some things do not need to be studied; ie: texting while driving is dangerous – hhhheeeellllloooooowwwwww! That would fall [...]

Please, please, please people! DO NOT FORWARD bogus emails with statements like: there’s going to be a death committee that will choose whether you get health care or not, etc.
Whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, do you honestly believe that our President wants to do that? Yes, there are all kinds of issues that [...]
Political infidelity – a possible solution….

Since so many of our “trusted”, and I use that term loosely, politicians are unable to “keep it in their pants”, I would like to propose a possible solution that could cut down on a lot of infidelity; thereby, not publicly humiliating their spouses and families.
We live in a different world than 40+ years ago, [...]

Today a friend, Velma, wanted to take me for a birthday lunch. (It seems the older I get, the more drug out the birthday is!)
Went to TGI Fridays. If you have not had their tomato/basil soup….it’s too die for! So yummy.
The waitress is taking our order and I ordered an unsweetened ice tea w/lemon; Velma [...]

- Ah….life in the fast lane November 10, 2009At least that’s how I like to think of it! Things have been testy around the house since the bionic man got a new knee. Seems like we’ve had lots of repairmen, which ultimately leads to lots of barking. Derby, our found on the streets of Nashville dog, absolutely cannot help himself when it comes to [...]keepingyouinstitches
- A new and colorful knee! October 24, 2009Tuesday (and this is Saturday) Mark got a new knee; it’s getting more and more colorful! Came home Thursday and trotted him off to rehab on Friday morning. Coloring goes pretty much around the whole knee….wowee! Or maybe I should say owie! Staples come out Nov. 3 and yes, there will be documentation of that too; most [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Very technologically challenged….oh yes, I am October 18, 2009For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was receiving voice mails on my cell phone when it was sitting right next to me!
