Has anyone else seen all the T. Toks and vloggers out there doing excerpts on dating or dates? I mean wow.
They remind me a little of why I stopped "dating". A woman was taken to a nice place (granted not high dollar), but quite nice. She had a meal that was about a third of the average weekly income and was angry. She made a video ranting about how mistreated she was, not because the man wasn't a gentleman, but because he did not go broke to date her. I was honestly very impressed by the young man, who while flustered by her attitude, maintained complete composure.
Where I live, in the vast wilderness, grown-ups really don't date. We hunt, we fish, we hike, we explore, we visit historical sites and sometimes go for coffee or ice cream after.
Not expensive dates and often free, all great ways to get to know each other and spend time together. We also have Casino dates, where you pay your own way, hang out and have fun. Not really a great way to get to know each other, but they can be fun. If you make it to a point where you would like to take your date to a super nice place, it is a one to three hour drive. At the dinner hour in my town there is pizza, take a way Chinese, and burgers. So for a sit down, slow dining experience, its one hour to Escanaba, with Four decent choices or three hours to Green Bay with endless fabulous choices. This is most likely a contributing factor into really knowing where the relationship may head before "dating".
I think this may be what has collapsed the long-distance trend as well. I did the whole long distance dating trend when it was the new hot thing to do. I also attended a lot of weddings that began that way. So, it did have its successes.
Anyway, How do you feel? Has "dating" gotten out of hand? Should there be a handbook?
Also what are your feelings on dating?

I love popping in and reading everyone's blogs. We do have some clever members here!
I hope you all know how very much you are appreciated. Life is richer with your golden sense of humor.
My life has been a whirlwind of change lately. My grandchildren are off to Minnesota, my youngest is finishing her sophomore year this summer. Only two more and she is off to college.
Do I feel the empty nest syndrome? No. I will visit. Instead I feel a freedom, I had long forgotten.
I spend a lot of time hiking the local beach. Pick one, I live just a quick walk from Lake Michigan, a short drive to Green Bay, and an even shorter drive to Lake Superior. This summer I am visiting waterfalls. Oh, I plan to fish a few new lakes and streams I have found.
I hope you are all enjoying life as it comes. Big hugs to those who want them.

Here is to hoping everyone is great. I hope your lives are filled with everything that makes you the happiest. Busy here, playing with wood. Updating the guest rooms and the upstairs. Thinking to add a powder room. 🤔

Be a Legend

Really, just do it. This is my Uncle. Every year he dressed as Santa to pass out an orange and a candy stick to tons of .
He has been gone around 40 years, but every year, the oranges come out, the peppermint sticks come out, and all of us grannies and grandpa's are transported back to Our Santa. The list came out, one by one we were called up, would we get an orange or a lump of coal? So.etimes a naughty boy or girl would get coal and have to promise to be good, then the coal would go back and the orange and candy stick would come out. Then hugs and happiness and a celebration of family.
So now the memories, the kidding Bout who got coal. The hugs and laughing over how old we were when we finally understood why Auntie had to promise to be naughty.
So what does it take to be a legend, not much. Just the willingness to be a little silly for the joy of others.
Be a Legend.

Not a Dog

This is not a dog. My forbade me recently to get a dog.
I am transported back in time to a summer, when my lovely was vacationing out east with her Crazy Cat Woman grandma and I told her very clearly, "no more cats"
She did not bring home a cat, she brought home a kitten. She made this argument as if it had been carefully sculpted for the win.
I have never been known to "obey". That said, this is not a "dog". It is clearly a puppy. She is a gorgeous little mutt to.
I am thinking of naming her Karma. Karma comes home, next Wednesday.
The poetry of it all my puppy is a lady. So, Karma (in this case) is poetically a b tch.
