Shall We Begin Our Adventure Now?
I don’t believe it will come as a shock to anyone that this pandemic has put a damper on my already dampened spirits. As an immunocompromised person, (drugs for an auto-immune thing) I’m warned frequently to stay home, even tho I’m vaccinated, even tho I wear a mask anytime I go anywhere, and even tho […]
Some Stuff…
I’ve been watching VEEP and I freaking LOVE it! My favorite character is Richard Splett. The humor in that character is so subtle, yet US! I’ve been making lots of jelly, jams, and tomorrow I’m trying my hand at marmalade. Oddly, I’m on a low carb “lifestyle” (ok, I’m on a low carb diet) and […]
Sometimes
So here’s the deal: I hurt. Pretty much 24/7, on some level, I hurt. Sometimes it’s not much, and I can get the basics done. Sometimes I can’t even bend down to pull my socks on. So just be active! Get some exercise! Sure! I could do that. Only here’s the deal: the more active […]
Becoming…
Oh my! Feels like I’ve been in that chrysalis for way too long! But it feels like the long night, (forgive the mixed metaphors) is finally coming to an end. A couple of weeks ago James and I returned from a 2 week long escapade in southern Wyoming. A recent wildfire had scared the landscape […]
Fear and Loathing in Myself

A Face In The Sun
I had elective surgery a few weeks ago. My team of doctors were worried about various findings in my colon, so together with my husband, we all decided that the trouble spot had to go. Thank God for good insurance. Knowing that a positive outlook is absolutely KEY to getting through tough times, and knowing […]

My House
I come from a long line of messy. My house is a cacophony of stuff…. from where I sit I see old pictures of my mom, my dad, my girls, branches from creek-side willows, tiny butterflies, a giant butterfly, life-size butterflies, photographs off swirling, tumbling waters in deep, dark forests… just a lot of stuff […]
Dear Self
I know, I know… I promised Me that I would blog every day in an effort to stay motivated. But then James called just after I “published” and for the next 2 days I was so busy getting ready to go see him that I completely flat-out absolutely didn’t have time! The girls and I […]
