Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
I am mentally as well as physically exhausted from last week. Reading about the stories of sexual assault survivors, all told with the heartfelt pain of trauma, has been tormenting.

I was told the other day that I was lucky to be alive. Yep, that’s me. I had a few health issues last year that made me wake up and smell the coffee. I lost my dear, sweet Zeke to severe congestive heart failure only to find myself rescued last December by my new crazy... Continue Reading →

Ah, the spring season is waning and the summer season is waxing us with warmer temperatures. Now what? Well for starters, I am looking at a new rig. Time for a new vehicle, time for a change, time for an upgrade. Probably going to be an entire new color I have never owned. So much... Continue Reading →
