Extremes
In one week, I’ve gone from one extreme to another. Hubby and I joined both our children and grandsons in Washington state for a family weekend. We arrived in rain that continued for two days. A steady rain fell over a large area of the Pacific Northwest and left the streams and rivers trying to […]
A Trip Back
Hubby and I traveled to Baird to see my folks for a couple of days. We’d seen them at Christmas when our daughter and son-in-law met us there. We’d cooked a couple of big meals and had a fun time visiting and such. Seeing my parents these few weeks later, it was jarring how far […]
My Favorite Things
Staying informed on current events is horribly depressing these days. Some nights, I have trouble sleeping because I can’t stop thinking about it. To get my mind off of the cruelty I see and hear about, I work on book plots in my mind, remember fun times, or read a book. Today, I am listing […]
Crazy People
As anyone who follows me knows, my Hubby is a geocacher. That means he uses a multi-billion-dollar satellite system to pinpoint the location of all sizes of what otherwise would be thought of as litter that has a paper inside it he can sign to prove he found it. Then he uses his $XXXX laptop […]
Merry Christmas
I wish you all a very joyful and healthy holiday season. Enjoy each minute, make lots of memories, take lots of photos, and sit still for a bit and let it all sink into your soul. Even if you are alone, do something that makes you happy. Make your own memory by doing something special […]
Heading South
Hubby and I are late getting here, but we finally made the journey to the warm southern climes. We got out of South Dakota right before the snow and single digit temps hit. It was in the mid-60s when we got to our winter home. That’s the reason we do it. I have my ultra […]
The End of the Year
Where 2025 went, I don’t know. I certainly flew by fast and I’m left wondering is 2026 going to be that way? Hubby and I are late in getting to our winter home this year due to meetings, sickness, and doctor appointments. They are mostly over with now so we’re in the midst of finalizing […]
Late Fall Leads to Winter
By this time of year, Hubby and I are usually nestled in Texas, avoiding the snow and ice of South Dakota. This year is different. Our aging bodies decided to rebel this fall and drove us to schedule doctor appointments, physical therapy, and other remedies to fight off the aches and pains. We are finding […]
