Change of Seasons
It’s time for Hubby and me to move back north for the summer. The days in Texas will start getting too hot for me to function well, and the cool evenings in South Dakota will let me sit outside to think and daydream and the days are longer. Plus, we’ve never had to go through […]
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 […]
Meal Schedules
One of the hardest things of adult life is deciding what to cook for meals. When I was younger, I had a whole bunch to things to cook for the family. Even though we had the same four or five meals fairly often, it was always interspersed with other things. Our menu was varied. Some […]
Seasonal Affective Disorder
If you’ve experienced depression and lethargy in the fall and winter seasons, you may be suffering from seasonal affective disorder. I know I have it. For me, it’s tied to sunlight, yet that bit of knowledge eluded me this fall when I was feeling unsettled and dreary. But no more. When we first came to […]

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 […]
The End of the Year
Can you believe it? How fast did 2024 go for you? The only things that seemed to drag on and on were the constant political ads and pundits arguing about who would win. I’m glad that’s over. This year flew by for me. I was so busy traveling between April and October that it felt […]
A Week of Frustration
A long time ago, I learned computer stuff at work on a PC. It took me a couple of years to totally understand some of it (hard drives, servers, internet, file organizations, etc.), but once I did, I was hooked. The rest of my jobs included working on PCs and even at home, our computer […]
