This Chicken Doesn't Care

This is where I should be checking in today at about noon.
But I'm not.

Oh my goodness.
Blogland is humming with what I'm calling "Pig Flu Posts".
Everyone has quite the opinion on what everyone else should be doing, goodness gracious!
Here's what I say.
Use some common sense people, settle down and settle in.
Play it smart...or play fast and loose and suffer the consequences.

Today was supposed to be departure day for a family adventure with my mom, sister and sister-in-law. We were flying to San Diego, staying at the Hotel Del Coronado tonight and then going on a little cruise to Mexico for four days.
We're not going.
Mom has a kidney condition that has left her with a seriously compromised immune system. She's finally off the chemo and steroids...yayyyy! But she needs to be careful and avoid putting herself into risky situations.
We've rescheduled for September.
Call us sissies, chickens...say we're overreacting to the media hype.
I'm tough, I can take it.
I'm protecting my mama...it's what all good daughters should do.

Reflections, Take Three


Reflections of getting lost in Venice.

It's been a while since I've wanted to travel...I'm cool with a little road trip - no freeways please...back roads would be my preference. Airplanes? No thanks.

I was looking for some old pictures that mom gave me and I found my Italy photos from a few years ago. Ahhh...Venice, the pictures are so lovely it almost makes me want to cash in some of my air miles...oh my....I can't believe I actually said that.

Reflections of good times, good friends...it's a good life here at this old farm, perhaps that's the reason why I don't feel any great desire to leave.
