Connie's Corner

Just start.

I am trying to follow my own advice and just start writing since my "idea box" is empty today. It finally stopped raining long enough for me to cut my grass, a miracle since we got over seven inches in the last few days. It is also raining graduation invitations, a granddaughter's and a niece's (actually grandniece if that is a word), ceremonies and celebration parties! Facebook is such a big help on buying presents. I look at their "likes" and have a plethora of possibilities.

I have not done anything on the kayaking yet, but I have not forgotten about it...waiting on the heat and sunshine. I did find an interesting site (www.smart-start-kayaking.com) and have been prowling through it. The most important thing I have discovered so far is that, unlike my hips, wider is better ...for going or not going into the drink. I'm definitely renting on a slow-moving river to begin with. Even getting in and out does not look easy...been practicing my deep knee bends...lol.

My Phils (baseball) are doing awful so far this season.Down here I rarely get to watch any of their games on tv, but last weekend they had a triple (actually quadruple) header with the Marlins. Sunday's game was a killer loss...2-14! I couldn't sit through it all, but I am a diehard fan and always will be...go Phils! Cole Hamils did make an awesome catch in Saturday's game, but alas, they lost anyway.

Call the Midwife (Sunday on PBS) was exceptionally emotional, in fact, I cried like a baby. It is set in London in the 1950's and seems very realistic to me. I wonder if there are Brits on here who watch it and what they think of it? I love it, but I think the last show of the season is on the 19th (May).

Well, I guess I have rambled on enough for having nothing to say so...

until next time....c
