Carol’s Ramblings

Posted on by Posted in Carol's Ramblings 1 Comment

It is getting closer and closer to Autumn.  I know this is so because some of the stores I have been patronizing lately have their Christmas displays out.  This world of ours gets crazier and crazier!  I was listening to the radio on my way home yesterday and heard the lyrics of a song that absolutely shocked and appalled me – and I am not a prude by any stretch of the imagination!  There are no filters any longer and yes, it upsets me.  I try to be the change I want to see but I don’t think I can do it alone! Enough on that topic!

My grandchildren have all started back to school and it is such fun to see them adapting and learning.  It will not be long before my little kindergartners are reading!  Such an exciting time in their young lives!

Please remember to be kind to others and help take care of the disenfranchised.  You never know…someday you may need help as well.

Thus far it does not seem a lot cooler to me except for sitting in my air conditioned office where I have to wrap a fleece blanket around my legs!  I find myself longing for colder weather so my office will warm up!

Until next time, take care of each other won’t you?
