Where’s the Camel?

Posted on October 1, 2020 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 3 Comments

With all that manure around here, there has to be a camel somewhere! Or was that a pony? Remember that story? Here it is which I lifted from fellow blogger, Judy Minz, who, to quote from her blog post was, “Stolen shamelessly from some random website with the assumption that retelling a joke is as fairuse as … Continue reading →

Camel Dung Mover!

Posted on September 30, 2020 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 6 Comments

I can now officially add Camel Dung Mover to my resumé. I thought she was kidding at first, but then again, it was my long-time crazy friend, Loud Cathy, doing the asking…anything is possible. She is a force to be reckoned with. After a barrage of serious health issues, she was diminished to a mere … Continue reading →

Back From the Brink of Death

Posted on July 23, 2019 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 37 Comments

        My dull eyes rolled to the side of my immobile head, burdened with the hot wetness of the forced oxygen pumping through a C-2 pap mask. I mustered enough strength to raise my hand to my neck and describe a cutthroat motion toward my hospital companion. He simply moved his head … Continue reading →

Rod and the Tuk Tuk

Posted on March 30, 2019 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 14 Comments

Meagan and I took a walk on West Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz, California. We both flew for TIA (Trans International Airlines)  in the ’70s. It was only recently that I learned, from Meagan, I had caused big trouble in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, by getting our airline banned from our crew hotel. It was a … Continue reading →

Cell Phone – Can’t Live Without It!

Posted on January 7, 2019 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 13 Comments

    As I braked to a stop a flat shiny object slid into view on the passenger floor of my trusty Honda Civic. What? My cell phone was clutched in my hand, as usual, so what could it be? I was momentarily stunned and then it hit me. Olwen left her phone in my … Continue reading →

I’ve Been Framed!

Posted on October 5, 2018 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 16 Comments

      When I moved to Costa Rica several years ago, I adopted the “less is more” philosophy and divested myself of most of my worldly possessions. There is something liberating about not being bogged down by stuff. Even now, living back in California, I have strict rules about stuff. It has to be … Continue reading →

I Went to the Theater Last Night

Posted on September 30, 2018 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 18 Comments

      It wasn’t in New York or San Francisco, it was in a tiny mountain town in Santa Cruz, California. Ben Lomond is the home of Mountain Community Theater. Although these mountain towns are part of Santa Cruz County, they are worlds apart from the beach communities such as Capitola where I live. … Continue reading →

Running With the Bulls!

Posted on July 26, 2018 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 8 Comments

  I got this photo as a text from my son, Tyler, on a Monday. I had casually asked him a question and he replied that he was in Spain. I said I was jealous, as I am of many of his world-travels and then this photo arrived. I smiled and replied “nice!” And then … Continue reading →

Float Like a Butterfly…

Posted on February 19, 2017 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 7 Comments

      Sting like a bee – go ahead, just try it! I did. So far, it’s just me and the bag, and I’m winning. Barely. Today, we did shadow-boxing with a sparring partner. It was my first time since I took up boxing three weeks ago. Whoa, it’s a whole different story when … Continue reading →

Blue, the Bilingual Beagle

Posted on February 6, 2017 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 6 Comments

                  “Take him to Blue Ball Park,” said the owner of the dog. “It’s right next door and he’s used to going there. You can’t miss it – just go to the end of the driveway and look to the right. You’ll see the giant blue balls.”  … Continue reading →
