The week began with rain and it was followed by a cold weather. Off we went to a safari park and an indoor botanical garden. The ostriches were wild and we fed them from our car! Loved the way they demanded food! We were cautioned not to feed the zebras. They bite! These goats were…

What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)? The Federal Government finally opened up their doors for business yesterday night!

Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car). I do not buy expensive jewelry, accessories or clothing.

What was your favorite subject in school? My internet connection was off this morning. This really irritated my young man who has a compulsion to hear music in the morning. I had to restart the modem and calm him down. His program place that he goes today has a vending machine that takes only cash…

How do you manage screen time for yourself? My favorite travel Youtubers are posting from Japan 😃! I never had any interest to travel to that country. But I love this couple that I ended up watching their video. This lead to a casacade effect. My feed was full of Japan travel videos. The past…

Do you need time? I think 24 hrs are enough for everyone. We just need to learn how we are prioritizing and managing the same. The problem happens when we are prioritizing too many things. And yes, not every single thing is important contrary to our belief. The past few weeks, I cleared off some…

The past weekend we were at Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. Unlike the Grand Canyon of the west this was not formed by a mighty Colarado river but a creek. We thought we would be there to see fall colors but most of the leaves were down and we just had to enjoy barren trees. Mother Nature…

Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate. I was inside a convenience store yesterday. So many different kinds of packaged snacks both salty and sweet.

What does it mean to be a kid at heart? My younger one shared a Tom and Jerry video yesterday. Usually he just shares snake videos knowing I am not comfortable even with virtual snakes 😄. We both laughed at Tom becoming a victim of his own actions. This really made me think of the…

A week ago I ordered these customized mugs. I received them today. It just reiterated the fact that “I am a blogger” and that blogging is a part of who I am. I never thought blogging would become such an integral part of me 😊! The picture has me wearing a bracelet made by my…

Lovely pictures were being posted on facebook page about the trips taken by my young man’s friends to a nearby farm. They were wonderful. I had already made up my mind and decided we were not going there. We had already picked apples this season. Why should we go and pick a pumpkin? He had…
