Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Home Sweet Home. My tiny house in Garden City, a town that is surrounded by Boise. After being gone for a week back East, coming home was pure joy. It always is wonderful to arrive home, to be back again. Today it sank in even more as to that reason. The reason I chose Boise... Continue Reading →
Hurricane Harvey is breaking all of our hearts just watching the news. There are a number of things you can do from afar, folks. Do not forget the pets left behind. But above all, do something for those in need! Here are several organizations and coordinated efforts coming to the aid of Texans: The American... Continue Reading →
Giving is second nature to me, thanks to my Mama. She frequently volunteered at church, either helping with events or knitting baby booties, lending neighbors a hand and best of all, despite a bit of sternness, always glowed with love every time she looked at us kids.

Ah, the joy of unpacking! No, really, I am having a delightful time unpacking, savoring memories as I open boxes of my treasures, my books, my kitchen tools. Treasure troves of silly knick knacks I have saved over the years are now going to the Do Not Need box. Two of my favorite chairs just... Continue Reading →
Last week was one of those I-cannot-believe-it weeks. I had a lesson to learn, and it was humbling, to say the least. I had a mega cry on Friday night a week ago, and I have no idea what set it off. It doesn’t really matter because in grief you are okay one minute and... Continue Reading →
Every year in October we are inundated by the Pink. Let me ask you this: is Pink still relevant? I went to one of my favorite re-use stores in Boise’s Collister Center a few weeks ago, and Naomi made a casual remark that has struck me ever since. She said, “I think by now we... Continue Reading →
