It’s Always Good
Tomorrow is TheWife’s birthday and she had the day off from work today wanted to spend it with TheGrands and Darcel to celebrate.
when we got there, we were greeted with hugs.
After awhile we went to ‘the beach’…it’s not really a beach but a place where you can be close to the water and enjoy some ‘quiet time’…except for the cars and trucks zooming by on the freeway. If you zone yourself, you don’t even notice the sounds….and the kids love it.
My knee was bothering me so I couldn’t do much walking and stayed behind while they walked ahead.
There is an area for sitting and it also has a bell and a plaque. Some of the bricks honors cancer survivors, those who lost the fight and family members giving them remembrance.
It’s called “Mary Ellen’s Bell”. After I took the pictures, I rang the bell and remembered my dad and my brother. The emotions that flooded me caught me by surprise in a way…I sat in silence and read the names and comments by others that were beneath my feet on the commemorative bricks of the survivors and loved ones who lost their beloved.
Sitting there gives relevance to the time we have to spend with the ones we love.
TheWife was really happy and the kids had a good time. It had been awhile since they saw UncleR.
I know I don’t always say how much I appreciate these moments, but it is always good to see them and spend time with them. I love to see the pictures Darcel and Charles post in blogs and on Facebook…miles and miles of smiles.

My My…Another Move
I have decided…at the last minute…to transfer my domain, WhatrUWorkinOn.com to WordPress.
Overall I think the switch will be better than I realize. This gives me a bit more flexibility with all that I have planned.
I will be updating the site over time and will also be introducing services I will have available locally…here in the Norfolk and Virginia Beach area…and also online with my CafePress Store.
The WordPress blog Reggie’s Thinking, was primarily used for poetry which will redirect back to WhatrUWorkinOn.com
That’s about it for now….by the way, I’ll have pic of the new place soon.

I’m Beside Myself
I have missed two consecutive weeks of not posting my WhatrUWorkinOn meme. I have pretty much destroyed my 30 day blog challenge. I’m in, I’m out. I’m hot, I’m cold.
I’m driving myself crazy trying to stay consistent, or to even come close to resembling someone who means what he says. At times I feel as if I have given up…but I’m not a quitter.
I want to bury my head in the sand to avoid whatever it is that hangs over me. I want to soak up the sunshine and walk in cool grass as the blades slice between my toes.
I want to take my fists and pound them into a wall until it begins to crumble before me or until my hands are bloodied or broken. I want to hear the sound of the sea’s waves washing onto the beach or splashing against the rocks.
This is such a sad state to be in…I’m tired of it and I’m sure you are not enjoying this yourself….what to do…what to do.
I guess I’ll have to keep plugging away and striving forward…I mean, this can’t last much longer…could it?
Anybody out there want to do a trade off? Just kidding….I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.
It’s not ALL bad. I do have continued chances to turn this around….I wake up everyday and I’m thankful for that.

First Beach Day 2011
Yesterday was my first day at the beach this year and it was a mixture for me even though I had a good time overall.
Everyone had the day off except Charles…mine didn’t seem like a day off altogether, but that’s all I’m gonna say about that.
It started out to be a cloudy day but slowly began to clear somewhat, becoming cloudy to partly cloudy. I heard that it rained at the oceanfront pretty heavy in the morning.
We didn’t see any rain at all even with the clouds. It was warm when we arrived and breezy! We had umbrellas and had to put them down not long after we set up.
The girls didn’t waste any time getting into the water…I cautiously stepped in and couldn’t believe how chilly it was as I watched them play.
Of course there was time for just chillin.
As I said before, it was cloudy all day. Darcel and I had noticed how this cloud looked as if it was reaching for this ship.
ooohhh nooo!!! it looks like that cloud is trying to get me!
it’s a good thing i’m equipped with my new retro
burning fuel stacked packaged excel when needed
system….haahaahaaa!!!!
so long cloud…cain’t touch this!
I guess the ship was too fast for the cloud….hmmmm, maybe the cloud was water logged.
It did look as if it might rain later on and it cooled off quite a bit. Even the sand lost its warmth.
That’s about the time I began to lose interest, but we stayed and the clouds broke up releasing the sun’s warming rays.
Me and TheWife went to Wal Mart yesterday morning to pick up a few things and a grill was one them. Nothing fancy…plain new charcoal burning grill.
As I grilled, I also started this post. This is my new toy…again, nothing fancy. This is my new Dell Inspiron mini. It’s perfect for what I need right now and I can expand so to speak if necessary. I connected my Logitech wireless mouse with ease. If I ever want to work from a larger screen, no problem…I can connect my 21 inch flat panel effortlessly. It’s a good thing I got it when I did. After the storm we had the other day and no electric for a day, my pc won’t even turn on. I have a lot of files I need to retrieve from that hd.
Oh yes…I’m still #workinon my meme which will be starting shortly!! I’m excited about it and hope you will join me when it is launched.
The do’s and don’ts will be coming soon along with how to link in for those who have never done it before.
That’s all I have for now…Whatr U Workin On?
