It's Spring -- get sprung

About Me

An art admirer, a musicphile, a hiker/walker depending, travel butterfly ready to spread her wings, a lover of friends and family, health foodie, digger of concerts, history and vintage architecture. I am a person that tries to enjoy things in life and creating the good. Life experience breeds wisdom and strength is internal - not ego based. ===FYI - If you don't get a reply, don't take it personally. I'm not a "collector", it doesn't matter to me how many or how few people I have in my friends list, the folks are there for a reason. Everyone's got their thang.Words are useless without actions to back them up...

So you think you know The Blues? Check these to be sure...

This is an old blog that is worth reposting... 1. Most Blues begin, "Woke up this morning..." 2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next lin...

Back to feeling human again...

Ever since my computer stopped working properly on the 2nd, I had felt somewhat off.  Strange, yes, for someone that likes to be outdoors and enjoys nature, etc.  I was relying on my ou...
