I personally find garage sales awkward. “What in heaven’s name is she talking about?” you say. Such a simple thing…..figure out what you no longer need to dust or read or wear or move out of the way every time you turn around, put a sticker with a price on it and sit and drink… Continue Reading

My Oxygen Mask
Blogging again at cruising altitude. I think I figured out what happened on the flight out to Virginia so this post should stick right here. Fingers crossed. When journeying by air you become familiar with this phrase: “…..if you are traveling with someone requiring assistance, please be sure to put on your own oxygen… Continue Reading
Wholam Clinical Trial update
I am learning more every day, the newest lesson being “how wi-fi works at 30,000 feet”…….I was flying to Virginia to visit William, Kate and my dad and had this post almost done. I thought it would be so cool to publish from cruising altitude and hit a key; all my words instantly flew off into… Continue Reading
A New Box of Crayons
I It finally happened; my mother sold the ranch. The place that nestled in my heart as home no matter where in the world we were living. My roots; where I went to renew my soul and the legacy that kept me sane when my life unraveled. Not only is it some of the most beautiful… Continue Reading
Happy; Mother’s Day
I am fortunate to be related to some of the best people on the planet. Whether it be having a FaceTime visit with my back east family or sitting in the backyard with my local peeps, I marvel at these people and how blessed I am to count them not only as kin, but… Continue Reading
Marathon
I really, really hope it doesn’t snow in the morning. Tomorrow is our local marathon/half/5K and bike tour. Sarah and I have been riding this for quite a few years now and except for the first year when we froze our toes off we have had decent weather. This year…..oy….not so sure; it was 32… Continue Reading
PippinTook
PippinTook is Gandalf’s little brother. Never mind that he is of a different species, he is the quirky, social butterfly younger sibling to Gandalf’s older, more sensible, kind of nerdy big brother. An odd couple by any definition, Pippin adds a certain flavor to our family; remember the movie Young Frankenstein and Marty Feldman’s character… Continue Reading
Dark
I’m told the Eskimos have something like thirty-seven words for snow, and in the last eighteen months of walking with Gandalf I have come to realize that likewise there should be many more words for darkness. In our culture we only quantify not-light as “dark” or “dusk” but it is my theory that dark… Continue Reading
PEEPS!
Wishing all my “peeps” Happy Easter and greetings of the season! It really doesn’t matter to me if you are some version of Christian (or other mainstream religion), Pagan, Wiccan or profess no religion at all; thank you for reading my posts and know I wish that “goodness and mercy shall follow you all the… Continue Reading
Taken…….and Returned
Every mother’s worst nightmare happened; Rebecca was taken. Without going into gory detail, her father and his girlfriend figured out where she was volunteering and showed up, taking her phone from her and getting her into their car. They headed to the city and she managed to talk them into giving her phone back and… Continue Reading
