I’m Margaret...left handed, Gen Xer, sunset chaser, rooting for the misfits, the overthinkers, and the soul searchers.
With the Florida temperatures fixed on “broil”, springs, such as Poe Springs, are one of the only places to enjoy the outdoors comfortably.

I love the Florida springs ❤️

A book holds two stories. The one inside and the one of where it has been…

Sometimes I long for the feeling I had as a child when I wanted to learn something new. No internet, just the anticipation of going to the library to find books I knew I had to take home.

I loved those books, every one of them… even the ones I never got to read. ❤️📚📖

I remember stores being closed on Sundays.

I remember waiting for the DJ to STFU before I dubbed off the radio.

I remember talking to people face to face.

I remember real music with real bands.

I remember comedy.

I remember running to answer a ringing phone.

I am Generation X.

Noooo….😔. My inner child is crying over this one.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced Friday -- just one day after a major Senate appropriations bill omitted funding for the nonprofit that funds public media -- that it will be shutting down.

Putting the finishing touches on some carved teapots today. Now that we've had some rain and the fire ban is over I expect to light up the wood kiln within the next few weeks. Hooray hooray!

All this talk about Spiderman inspired me to show what laundry day looks like when your 7 year old is a superhero 🦸

Starting my Substack was harder than I thought. There's a learning curve, but as a Gen Xer, that's nothing I can't handle. Looking forward to new adventures!

Scientists have been trying to understand the vocalizations of birds—and discovering that the animals have intellectual abilities far greater than most people had imagined.

After great hesitation surrounding my decision to join yet another social media site, I went with my gut on this one.

Would love to hear from anyone willing to share how you like the platform (pros/cons) in comparison to other social media sites.

Here's to day one... Wish me luck!
