So, as with the rest of the Christmas celebrating population, I’ve been thinking a lot about my Christmas List or as the song says, My Grown Up Christmas List. But in conjunction with that, I’ve also been thinking about consumerism. I’ve thought about this off and on for years around the holidays. I’ve done several... Continue Reading →
Joy in the mornings
So it looks like 4am is my new morning time. It's been pretty consistent for a couple of weeks now. I tried to make myself stay in bed till 5am the other day and ended up dozing off and on till almost 6am and I'll tell ya, my mood was OFF. I wasn't cranky but... Continue Reading →
Life is what you make of it.
Happy Halloween! I have always loved Halloween. My birthday falls so near, so my parties growing up were usually Halloween themed. I don't know that I ever really enjoyed Trick-or-Treating... I was soooo shy but I did love making treats! I remember when I was really little, like elementary school aged, we always made popcorn... Continue Reading →
Marriage is hard…
I am so sporadic here these days. Life has been kicking me in the rear lately, and I can barely get out of bed, let alone write for a bit, but today is different. This morning I got up early and started my day well. Today is our 30th anniversary. How is that even possible?... Continue Reading →

Road Trips, COVID, Dissent, OH MY!
Well, it’s been a while… again. I haven’t been able to write. Our country has gone crazy and I feel sad, afraid, and mad as all get out! But I haven’t wanted to write about it. I’ve also done some traveling. That’s been fun! I took DD on a road trip to Texas across... Continue Reading →
We lost a wonderful man last night…
DH and I had the honor of sitting by the bedside of a dear friend last night, with his wife of 41 years, as he took his last breath and passed on from this earthly plain to the next. He was a great man and he meant so much, to so many. He came into... Continue Reading →
Traditions
I'm sitting here this morning in the quiet of the house, before anyone else is up, watching the sunrise behind the Christmas tree. It's beautiful. The pinks and purples and reds... It's just... magnificent. Isn't it beautiful! It's distracting me from my post but what a beautiful distraction... I want to keep taking photos as... Continue Reading →
