I Love Spring
Spring is my favorite time of year. Everything that was brown and dull suddenly comes back to life. The bright colors and smells of blooms awaken the senses after the winter’s sleep. People spend more time outside of their houses and spread their arms to welcome the warmth of sunshine. The whole world recolors itself […]
Time with Mom and Dad
I spent part of last week with my parents. They’re aging very quickly, but don’t tell them they’re old because they don’t like it. Never mind that by the end of June, they’ll both be in their 90s. They seem more feeble with each visit, especially my dad, but don’t tell him I said that. […]
It’s 2025!
I admit it. I’m old. I remember the old cartoons, comic books, and TV shows talking about futuristic stuff in the 21st century. It seemed impossibly far away. But here it is, 2025. It sounds like something from a book rather than being on the calendar. We enjoyed a quiet Christmas with Daughter and Son-in-law […]
Difficult Times
For me, this past week was difficult. Difficult is a relative term, meaning something different to everyone. For me, a lot of things went awry, and my mom was in the hospital. Being so far away, I rely on my siblings to keep me in the loop on her and my dad’s conditions. I feel […]
Stepping Out
Recently, Hubby and I did something we rarely do. We went out at night. We don’t do that much since neither of us feels comfortable about driving around at night. Too many critters waiting to jump in front of our truck and crazy drivers going too fast makes us prefer quiet nights at home. We […]
Old Dogs Still Learning
That old adage about how you can’t teach an old dog new tricks has no place in today’s world. This old dog has spent two weeks trying to learn how to navigate through a new platform for releasing books. It’s different than Amazon’s book site, and it took me a while to get all the […]
Our 50th Reunion
The Bayfield High School class of 1974 had its reunion a week ago. I feel old in saying it, but I was part of that class. There was 39 of us, and we all knew each other and everybody else in high school and even a bunch in junior high and grade school. For that […]
Girl Time
Twice this past week, I went out to eat with friends. Nothing goes together better than food, friends, good conversation, and laughter. I call it my girl time, and it refreshes me. Wherever we live, I always hope I can find a friend to go out to lunch with and have a good time. I […]
