ah...yes!!!

This road could take you almost anywhere....couldn't it, Frodo? Traveling in the fall....my favorite! Ready for an adventure?

It's a beautiful day...

and I need to get out and walk...listen to the birds....the light has started that wonderful slant that indicates fall is coming....Bilbo and I always get the itch to travel and adventure this time of year. Wonder what the weather is like on Weather Top? Has anyone seen Strider up there recently? It's a dangerous thing going out your front door...your walk connects to roads and more roads and you might end up encountering a dragon or dwarf....or even an elf.

RANDOM THOUGHTS ON ADDICTIONS

Olympic mania.... yes, sigh, I have it!....I've been up until 2 AM almost every day since the opening ceremonies. I love the swimmers (all events), the gymnastics , even the beach volleyball. CAN'T STOP WATCHING!!! SOMEONE OUT THERE HELP ME!

Homemade ice cream: about 6 weeks ago we purchased the machine of evil (i.e. ice cream freezer) & and I can't stop making ice cream. When we run out ....I make more. It's wonderful and creative and more addictive than nicotine. I've made fresh peach, intense vanilla, cherry pecan, bing cherry and ....I'm contemplating fresh mango w/coconut rum.

The new Batman movie: I've seen it twice. How can a 60 something woman have such juvenile taste?
