Snowbirds are starting to head north. It’s a lot quieter in Florida when they do! If they were to come back in the summer, I’m sure they’d be surprised at the difference themselves.
The Black Vultures who spend the winter here begin to head north at the same time. It’s really rather uncanny the way they [...]

Empty Nesters, what’s next?
Today I’m hearing there’s a new flu in Mexico, could be a strain of swine flu, and is a hybrid flu besides. We could all die. Or not. Good grief!
They’re also saying that the Conficker Computer Virus that we were all warned about on April Fool’s Day didn’t really do much of [...]

I just skipped over to the Content Quake Survivor site to see if there was anything new there. Perhaps something exciting about Survivor that I had missed. But actually there hasn’t been a new post in awhile.
Having watched all the Survivors since the first one, although I had to watch parts of that first one [...]

If you haven’t yet seen this video, believe me, you’ll want to. I won’t ruin the surprise, just please watch it and see what you think. The performer’s name is Susan Boyle and I doubt that you’ve ever heard of her unless you live in the village where she comes from.

Hi, Empty Nesters. I was having a good day today. It was raining and I was on the computer messing around. I didn’t have a lot of work to do that HAD to be done, just stuff I wanted to do. Then my husband suggested that since it was raining and we couldn’t go for [...]

Today, April 13th, 2009, is the 266th anniversary of Thomas Jefferson’s birth in 1743. He was quite a figure!
He married his wife Martha in 1772 and they went to live at Monticello.
Four years later in 1776, at the young age of 33, Jefferson drafted our Declaration of Independence. Not a small feat in itself!
In [...]

Hey, Empty Nesters, if you want something different to do and haven’t tried Mahjong, you might want to click on this free version from AARP. See if you like the game before you go out and buy yourself a Mahjong game of your own.
The rules are pretty much the same in a boughten game [...]
