Thoughts on Second Once-In-A-Lifetime Trip
I am a very lucky mother. My daughter is one of my best friends. Not every mother can say that and I’m blessed to be able to say it with truth and conviction. I was also blessed in that she and I didn’t go through the angst that normally passes between mothers and their teenaged […]
Thoughts on Being a Night Owl
When I was working, I went to bed at 10 pm, got up at 5 am, went to work by 6 am, got off at 2:30 pm, and had most of the afternoon to do things. I work well in the mornings and less well in the afternoons. That made me a morning person, right? […]
Thoughts on Public Speaking
In Texas, I had my first public speaking engagement as an author. I was so nervous! I excel in saying the wrong things or making a fool of myself. This was another opportunity to do that. To my surprise, it turned out just fine. The people of Cross Plains, Texas are very friendly and caring, […]
Thoughts on Being Home
I can’t believe it. We’ve been home for four weeks and I’ve loved it. My bed, my closet, my kitchen, my sewing room, and best of all, my bathroom that is used by just the two of us. It’s been wonderful! I get tired of using bathrooms and showers that hundreds of other people use. […]
Thoughts on Doctors
Since we travel so much, we have to carefully schedule all our doctor appointments so that we’re home when it’s time. We’ve been blessed with good health insurance all of our married lives thanks so the government job of Hubby’s. It’s a huge blessing that we never take for granted. We always take advantage of […]
Thoughts on Eye Sight
I recently had my second cataract replacement surgery. I’m young to have such troubles, but my eyes have been bad all my life. My doctor told me years ago that I was getting cataracts so I knew it was coming. In second grade, I sat in the back of the room next to a girl […]
Thoughts on Clean Air
This past week, a late-season, human-caused wildfire took off north of Boise and burned several cabins in the mountains. The fire is not a massive one like the ones that burned through Washington, Oregon, and northern California. Only about 4,000 acres are involved. The fire agencies have struggled to get a handle on the fire […]
Thoughts on Generations
Warning: I’m going to sound like my granddad many years ago. I may sound horribly old, but I can’t help myself. I don’t understand this new generation! Hubby and I went to the mall to pick up a few things and in one store, the background music was so loud, it was distracting. The young […]
