Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
All of trump’s cabinet nominees were dishonest at their confirmation hearings. Their pressure is Project 2025 in full tilt mode. Abolishing programs for special needs and disabled children. Give the control to the states? Do these people even think that states can afford to pick up the slack? Women shouldn’t serve in combat roles in... Continue Reading →
The news cycle is so full of horrible news in America that even political pundits and historians can hardly keep up. The distractions from tRump are deliberate although not calculated in any rhyme or reason. It’s just about revenge in a mean spirited manner. So, what do we do about it? Protesting is a good...

I have the song “What’s Going On?†in my head from the late, great Marvin Gaye. The Big Bad Awful bill passed on strictly party line votes in the Senate and the House. With so much disinformation in America and throughout the world, I want to present facts. 17 million Americans will lose their health... Continue Reading →
Politics aside, I have to distract myself, especially today because the Senate passed a heinous bill. Time will tell and teach them the consequences. So, I turned to the one thing that brings me joy, and that is playing in my kitchen. I miss the crispy cheese crackers from Trader Joe’s, so I found a... Continue Reading →

I have no words right now as I watch a video of a child, a little girl that is maybe 8 years old, crying for her parents that were taken away by ICE agents. Who will house her, feed her, take her to school? Instead of chasing people and treating them like subhumans, why can’t... Continue Reading →
Not sure of what to write today, but I am worried about the domestic terrorist problem in America and throughout our world. And it usually starts at a very young age. Children learn from their parents bad behavior and language. Mass shootings Mass harm in the name of whatever cause has festered in a person’s... Continue Reading →
I found a recipe for fresh rhubarb sauce, but it did not have an acidic ingredient for canning purposes. So, I added orange juice and zest. This sauce is absolutely delicious! Use it as a topping for ice cream, oatmeal, toast or as I did, on a chocolate bundt cake! Ingredients5 cups of rhubarb, cut... Continue Reading →
I have been thinking about grief this past week since Murphy crossed the rainbow bridge. Each death is a different form of grief. I feel as if I have been more exposed to grief from others given that I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 39. My cancer diagnosis led me to becoming an advocate... Continue Reading →
Today will be a very difficult day for me because I have to euthanize my dog, Murphy. You see, he was diagnosed with aggressive oral cancer and treatment was not an option. Therefore, I am celebrating all the adventures we had in the past 7.5 years (I adopted him when he was 4yo). Hiking the... Continue Reading →
