After the past 12 months, I decided my vacations would now be of places I have never been. I wanted to go to Yosemite to see the giant trees, but they were too booked. My friend/travel agent asked if I wanted to go to Orcas Island. Never heard of it, but why not? She said …
They say life is a rollercoaster. If you know me, you know I absolutely HATE rollercoasters. Motion sickness is horrific. I can't even watch them Today's blog is reaching the highest hill, going downhill, but instead of remaining on the tracks to take a curve, the carts are flying off the tracks and crashing at …
It has been raining a monsoon lately. Many flash flood downpours. I didn't plan on running today, but when I checked the weather and saw I had enough time to jump outside before more rain, out the door I went. I didn't prepare for running. I wasn't hydrated enough. Typical Midwest weather. It was cloudy …
I'm late on writing this blog, but better late than never. Work has been insanely busy and have no energy to do much else. My mood on Monday was very mixed. Work was nearly too much. In the afternoon I knew I had to take care of another piece of my dad's estate. Anything to …

Friday I had to drive over and pick up my dad's death certificate. I know he's gone, but seeing his name with the official seal stings a whole lot! One of the memories I had about my dad was many years ago, we used to drive to this small town in Kentucky. (I would drive; …
I haven't written in a while. I still cannot find the words to write what I would love to write so I'll just tell you about 4:30. Long story short. I closed on my house. My dad died. All in a matter of a few days. My world has crashed. My dad was my world. …
Last fall I wrote about seasons of change and how leaves die off, only to reproduce new growth in the spring. Well..here it is now spring. The last few months have been even tougher than the few months prior, but my new leaves are starting to sprout. Beautiful trees are blooming. Photo on Pexels.com That …
Today has been 13 years since Chubs died. Will this be a lucky year? Chubs was the first to pass from our immediate family. There are times when scents or songs take you to a moment with your loved one gone. I know when I smell Chantilly powder, it takes me right to my sweet …
