My Joyful Journal ~ February 15

A memorable moment…was when Miss Sam and I visited the wildlife park this week. Not only did we get to see the bobcat for the second time in the eight years we have lived here…but the wolves (new additions) FINALLY made a public appearance after they were put in a ‘holding’ cell after trying to [...]

My Joyful Journal ~ February 8

A memorable moment…was yesterday. I went to an Arts Festival in Mount Dora with a friend. It was unbelievably awesome. Not just the incredible, talented artists and their work, but enjoying the company of someone who gets my jokes and encourages me to be silly. I really experienced a sense of ‘normalcy’ and ‘living in [...]

A memorable moment…when Miss Sam and I developed a case of the giggles while watching an episode of Rurouni Kenshin. We both found it rather hilarious that a ‘manslayer’ would be wearing a ‘pink’ kimono. It was an episode that kept us in stitches well into the afternoon. I am grateful…for all the blankets I [...]

It just absolutely sent me into gales of laughter with my [...]

I am grateful…for WalMart. Although there are many who deem it a ‘curse’ upon American enterprise, there is no [...]

A memorable moment…pigging out at The Cheesecake Factory yesterday with a wonderful and dear friend! I am grateful…that we are blessed to have friends in [...]

My Joyful Journal ~ November 28

A memorable moment…when Miss Sam and I went to The Florida Museum of Natural History this week to see the Grossology exhibit with some very dear and longtime friends. I am grateful…that I had some extra money this month to start my photography website/store.This endeavor has taken two years to unfold and it’s going to [...]
