Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
The main topic of the 2024 Election is democracy. The simple version of the meaning of democracy is government by the people. The supreme power is vested in the people through representation of the system held be free and fair elections. Essentially, we vote for those politicians that we feel represent us best, a chosen...

I’m baaack! I must admit that the recovery from my January surgery was much more difficult than I had anticipated. Tired, nauseous, tired but I keep reminding myself that my abdominal organs are getting adjusted to how they are supposed to work. During recovery, my days were hectic with real estate, my sister here to... Continue Reading →
I am promising myself to be better about my blog posting for 2024. I want to be consistent in my weekly posts. Deeper conversations, outrageous humor, recipes I have not yet shared with my readers. Perhaps travel pictures since 2024 is going to be my year to seek new places to discover. As far as... Continue Reading →

There was a Twitter post about gun reform and all 85 replies (so far) accuse me of advocating for the government taking guns. First of... Continue Reading →
I had an entire post written, but after last week, deleted it all. More than anything else about last week was learning about the injustices from America’s past that many of us are slowly learning about. Which makes the culture war issues on American history so alarming. Let’s start with Juneteenth, which marked the freedom... Continue Reading →
Patriotism to me is being a well informed American, reading from the most trusted news sources in the world, not just America. Patriotism means supporting all - all means all - fellow citizens and veterans and supporting their rights to live, work, play, make their own health and love decisions. Patriotism to me is trying...
