The "Boys" Plus 1 Come Back Home - 07/29/08 01:49 PM
It has happened to mostly all of us, either we have come home to our parent's home with a "significant other" or our child has brought their "significant other" to our home.  This past weekend my two boys came to see my new residence in New Jersey and the oldest, TJ, brought his girlfriend with him.   I was excited to show them the new place and cook them big meals; they loved both. When I asked them what they wanted to do, TJ said before he left he wanted to show Kelly where he grew up. Mercer County in Central New Jersey … (3 comments)

What to do When You have a dreaded Task - 07/17/08 01:44 PM
What to do when you have a Dreaded Task to Finish

I am working "task".  It is something that I have had to work on for the past 8 months.  I start and stop and most of the time do anything I can to avoid this task. 
The time has come to sit down and work on this task, finish it once and for all.  It is so boring and time consuming,   There are a million other things I would rather be doing. 
I remember what one of my son's occupational therapists suggested for Attention Deficit Disorder anwhat to do for … (1 comments)

Central New Jersey Mercer County - 07/15/08 05:09 PM
Where is "Home"?
 
Everyone always wants to know where is "home" or "where are you from?"
We recently spent 8 months "wintering" in South West Florida in Naples on the Gulf of Mexico.  It is truly a beautiful area, warm blue green water and sunsets over the Gulf.   While in SW Florida, I studied for my Florida Brokers and also familiarized myself with all of the different communities and areas.  As beautiful as Naples is, I could not make it my permanent "home".  It is too far from the rest of my life, my family, especially my two sons.

Horses in New Jersey - 07/14/08 05:03 PM
I have the privilege of having horses outside of my home.  As I sit and write this post, there are three grazing in the field outside of the window.
 
Horses are kind, regal, heard and grazing animals.  They do not like to be alone and need companionship of other horses or perhaps a mule or a goat.
 
I did not know too much about horses until about five years ago when we were looking for a property.  Every time there were horses at or near the property I was so taken with their beauty that tears would come to … (3 comments)

Princeton New Jersey's Lake Carnegie - 07/10/08 05:22 PM

On a cool summer day we set out to visit Lake Carnegie in Princeton, NJ, hoping to catch a glimpse of the U.S. Olympic Rowers.   Lake Carnegie is located just off of Route 27 in Princeton, the home of U.S. Olympic Rowing Team.  The national squad trains on Lake Carnegie year round.
In the early 1900's a Princeton alumni was painting the portrate of Andrew Carnegie, a noted businessman and philanthropist and persuaded him to donate money for the lake for use of the Tigers Princeton rowing team.  It is a man made lake formed from a dam of the Millstone River.
