Thinking of the men, remembering The Man……..

Annette | November 19, 2009

Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of videos and listening to a lot of music made by the entertainer I regard as the best in the world. Of course, he’s named Meat Loaf, which sort of detracts from the exalted plane on which I’ve placed him, but I must agree that Meat Loaf is [...]

What Easter means to me ……….

There is an ocean out there, I can see it from here ………

Annette | March 15, 2009

For a structure that was demolished as the sixties became the seventies, it sure does show up regularly in odd places. I don’t remember where I found this image, but it’s not one that was in my great postal collection – the one I sent with Larry to distribute to any Atlantians who might [...]

Weekend……….

Annette | February 8, 2009

There is that old line that addresses the “Sunday morning fight about Saturday night,” but I don’t know that from my own life. Saturday nights have always been special and sweet, and the Sunday mornings have been blessedly quiet and sweet. No drama, nothing that would make the papers, just some routines that remained [...]

WHO are you?

Annette | October 17, 2008

And who out there has your name?
This site is just plain fun.
And, yes, as I suspected, I’m the only one.

For the record…………..

When you’re just feeling silly,

Annette | September 23, 2008

or when a really sweet man tells you he likes you, in all your butter pecan glory, there’s just one way to observe such a lovely interlude:

Just for fun…….

There are two hidden messages in here. Only two of us will ever find them.

Welcome to the Maine Diner

Annette | September 15, 2008

Forty-two years ago today, I arrived in Sanford, ME with my parents on the way to what would be a turning point in my life, bringing me to people who are still treasures in my life, to places now long-gone and forever loved, forty-two years ago, when we were all children, already on our way [...]

I’m watching Ike, the hurricane, on

Annette | September 9, 2008

the Weather Channel. My Most Precious Possession called me from the Keys to assure me of his safety, that the rain had stopped – for a while, at least – and let me listen to the wind. He’s safe, he’s happy, that’s all that matters.
Instead of turning off the TV – which is [...]

And the birthday presents just keep getting better…….

Annette | August 25, 2008

The Man made it to the Convention and gave a rip-roaring speech. There is a word: heroic.

I got just what I wanted for my birthday……….

Annette | August 25, 2008

My great Commonwealth …….

Annette | June 12, 2008

…….. and my new license plate.

An afternoon up on a mountain ………

Annette | May 25, 2008

overlooking Santa Fe.

What’s so Good about Friday?

Annette | March 21, 2008

Well, the obvious. It’s the end of the work week. But, if Christians are observing the time Christ allegedly hung on the cross, well, what’s so good about that? I daresay that he’d hardly find anything positive about such an occasion. Leave it to Christians, masters of self-delusion, to characterize an [...]

Hasn’t it been a long, long time?

Annette | March 3, 2008

That’s a line from a great old Minnie Riperton song. Minnie died young, of cancer, but she had a voice that still rings in my head from time to time, and her daughter is a regular on SNL.
Anyway, that line is my new tag, since I’m back – this time, I’m really, really, truly, [...]

Back, front, sideways, anyway you sneak a peek, it’s me…….

Annette | August 26, 2007

Ah, yes, heathen swine, lay low before my large, wet snorts, and be assured that there is more to come.
Just so’s ya know.
Ya know?

I have returned, but just for a second

Annette | May 7, 2007

Live in fear, sinners …………….

A little girl forever…………

Annette | February 28, 2007

Sometimes you find out that someone out there has the most wonderful sense of humor.
This thing – whatever it is, some sort of cyber-template or something – has been sitting out there in the Internet(s) for several years, and no one ever mentioned it to me until something came up with my first [...]

Damn, there goes the villa in Sardinia…….

Annette | January 28, 2007

Really, I should have kept up with the reviews of The Last One Home that keep piling up at amazon.com, but, you know, there’s nothing like not looking back, especially when you’re happy with and proud of what you did, which frees you up to keep moving forward. There’s no point in going backwards, [...]
