Memorial Day weekend is an important anniversary for me. I completely & totally lost part of me — and I’m so blessed because of that— to Hubby. But let me fill in some background for my readers who may not know the origins of our little life together. I was living in the Minneapolis area […]
Continue Reading → As my regular readers can tell (do I have regular readers? seems presumptuous of me to say that and yet I shall anyway) I have not been writing much lately. I’m not really sure why this is although I have some ideas. Since I have been toldremindedbadgeredcajoledthreatened to write I am attempting this post as […]
Continue Reading → Lately I feel like I’m suffocating. Life feels like this big heavy weight pressing all the oxygen out of me. One of the only times it seems my lungs are working & my heart is still beating is when I’ve got words flowing onto the page (or screen as the case may be). When I […]
Continue Reading → I was out to lunch on Thursday when I suddenly became self-conscious about how I was eating my french fries. Now I don’t usually pay attention to my process but for some reason it struck me at this time. I laugh & joke about it on here but I do have some strange OCD (CDO […]
Continue Reading → I love that no matter what time of day/week/month/year I walk into Mom & Dad’s house yeasty fresh bread rises to my nostrils. It’s a sense memory so complete for me that I instantly regress to being a teenager for a little while. Usually when I arrive it’s late at night after a long day […]

This is Mom’s side of the family so her siblings, their families, all her aunts, uncles, cousins, 1st cousins once removed, 2nd cousins and all their families descended on the large A frame shelter for a […]
Continue Reading → In yesterday’s post I made mention of screaming helplessly as a garter snake crossed my path. I should point out that I hatedetestloathedespise creepy-crawlies. Since I was very young I have feared bugs. I don’t care how small or harmless they may be I want nothing to do with them. I will scream, wave my […]
Continue Reading → It has been a day of lethargy for me. After the excursion yesterday (which was amazing & filled some of my empty soul places with peace) I was worn out. Of course that didn’t keep me from posting a lengthy account of my day, writing a poem (no I’m not sharing as it’s mostly not […]
Continue Reading → For a truly well-rested, slightly less obsessive me I need 8-10 hours of sleep. I survive on much less most of the time. As of late my sleeping habits have suffered from all the fascinating projects I’ve undertaken. With so much to see, read and listen to sleep is not a priority. I’ve once again […]
