Karen’s Opinion

The theme/prompt for THIS week, July 28, is: Five Years Tell how you think you or your life will be different in five years. Will it be better or worse? Why will it change?

Hmm, in 5 years I will be 58 years old and since I have been more diligent about exercising, I hope to be in good shape and have more energy.

I could possibly be a grandma by then. I’m not in a hurry for that though.

I hope that we will be able to cut back on our hours here at our carpet store. I would love to be closed on Saturdays.

It sounds as if my life will be a lot of the same in five years.

Why do I like to use the search engine, Dogpile? Because it has all the best search engines piled into one. No need to check out what each of the major search engines bring up when you can use Dogpile. It is a neat little search engine that combines results from Google, Ask.com, Yahoo and others. Which search engines do you like best?

This week at Heads or Tails, the theme is Spin.

The first thing that popped into my head is from the movie The Exorcist. Do you remember the scene when Linda Blair’s character, Regan MacNeil, did a head spin? It was the beginning of the cult type films. Very scary stuff!

Linda Blair said, “It was always very strange for me when I was young and would meet someone who geniunely seemed to be afraid of me. They couldn’t separate me from the monster I became in a movie. You wouldn’t believe how often people ask me to make my head spin around.”

Join us at Heads or Tails!

Oh no! My skimming got me into trouble again. The post below is for next weeks Heads or Tails. This week’s theme is Summertime Memory.

Since this is TAILS your summertime memory needs to be a real memory of yours. It can be a childhood memory, a memory from teens years or later. It can even be from last week.

One of my favorite summertime memories is making picnic lunches for my kids and letting them eat their lunch outside. I had old lunch boxes that I would pack with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and koolaid. We would put a blanket in the yard and eat our lunch. Something simple like that sure did make my kids happy.

Another memory I have of summertime is from when I was in the 7th grade. We lived with our grandmother in Washington state while my dad was in Vietnam. Many kids worked in the fields as their summer job. I picked cucumbers and strawberries. I felt rich at the end of summer!
