You win some, you lose some

I’ve lived six miles from two casinos for nine years and have never been to either one to gamble. I’m not a gambler but I thought it was time I went and hit the jackpot!In the way distant past, I went with my father and his buddy to a race course in Florida where I won every race. My father had confidence in me and put money down on my picks.
Is it hot enough for you?

Three hummingbirds fought all day over the small amount of sugar water in the feeder. Three is a record. Maybe it’s because of the heat. If it weren’t so hot I’d make them so more of their sugary drink, but I seem to have melted into my chair. I’m not going to be one of the it’s-too-hot complainers, I’m just sayin.’ “I’m melting, I’m melting!” Like the Wicked Witch of the West.
There’s a party goin’ on right here

I’ve hit my 200th mark. I’ve written my 200th “What’s a girl to do?” column for the Lake County Record-Bee. Two hundred ideas. Some popped into my head, others had to be dragged from my brain. I’m not sure how it all happened. The start of WGTD began about 35 years ago. I worked for a glossy magazine answering phones. I took the job just to get my foot in the door and perhaps get a writing gig.
My hammock is the place I wanted to be

The canopy of leaves from my non fruiting mulberry tree protects me from the sun as I lie in my hammock, a cheerful red and yellow striped, double hammock with a pillow of the same material. My dermatologist said my skin is in great shape, albeit very pale. Even after spending 14 years only 400 miles north of the equator. So, the hammock has been placed in the shade to keep me from roasting. At first it was lovely. I loved it while I rocked like a baby, dozing off.

Are you still searching for ways to deal with stress and anxiety?

1 month ago | record-bee.com | Lucy Llewellyn Byard

Most people I know are searching for ways to deal with the amount of stress that’s happening these days; financial worries, work-related issues, ever-changing social and political events, to name a few. I personally worry if my social security benefit will arrive each month, worry about the price of groceries, and trying to stretch what income I have. I also worry about my back porch sinking, and the trimming of my two giant mulberry trees and what’s eating my basil plants.
