This time vs Last time
Last time we arrived just as summer was ending. The weather was warm. It rained, but there were plenty of sunny days left for us to enjoy. Fall didn’t disappoint. Beautiful displays of color, everywhere. Even with a record rainy month or two, we had some fun adventures. We also knew our usefulness in theContinue reading “This time vs Last time”
Thinking
Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you. I’m pretty sure something will come to mind. I can think of a handful of funny, or wacky, but positive? Hmmm Ok. When I was in Kenya the first time, I met a handful or young teenagers. It seemed that that ageContinue reading “Thinking”
Did I mention…
My friend Margi passed away. I loved Margi. She was a talented artist with the right amount of confidence. She knew where she stood on every issue and she easily stood her ground if you didn’t agree. I met her years ago when we had studio spaces next to each other. The spaces were partContinue reading “Did I mention…”
Travel Time
Our travel days are long but short. Someone said to me when I had little kids that ‘the days are long but the years are short’ which in hindsight I totally see. This stretch of time is a sped up version of that. Sort of. Maybe not, but it’s how it feels because both ofContinue reading “Travel Time”

Me Doing Me
My daughter changed some things on my instagram account. She knows more than I ever will about that and she’s not even that into it. I appreciate knowing and accepting this. I also appreciate all the help my kids offer me, because often I don’t even know what help to ask for. Our worlds areContinue reading “Me Doing Me”
Places
What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why? Huh. Things I never think about. Maybe an RV park in one of those tiny treeless towns with nothing going on, maybe in Nevada? The North Pole or just any freezing cold dark town nearby? Any place in the middle of a war.Continue reading “Places”
Recently
Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you. My daughter in law called me up right after Christmas. She noticed there were some cheap flights on New Years Day. Did we want to come out? The kids were missing us… When she called, we were parking at Yale hospital, and then walkingContinue reading “Recently”
Retrograde Again?!
We are on our way to the East Coast. Yesterday was a weird day. After driving for hours through super windy Kansas, we made it to my daughter’s house. One speeding ticket and a lost wallet later. This morning I woke up with a headache. And no coffee… Already discombobulated, emotions were running high andContinue reading “Retrograde Again?!”
