Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
It is finally snowing here in Southwest Idaho. FINALLY! I like winter, well because let’s face it, I lived in Ketchum when I first moved to Idaho in 1984. When people complain “it’s cold†I remind them that cold is 30 below. I love squash, getting to like carrots even more these days. Never cooked... 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 →
What kind of person are you: are your blinds or curtains open during the day or do you have them closed no matter what? If it is the latter, may I ask why? Every evening when it gets dark, I do close my blinds. Especially now when it is cold at night. The next morning... Continue Reading →
Yes, let’s start the conversation. Let’s add a few other generations, too. I saw a post on Threads yesterday about feminism and women aging.

Recently, I have had clients and friends alike tell me how impressed they were with recent installations of energy efficient heat pumps. Every single person who told me this also mentioned Peppy! Heating & Cooling was their contractor. Well, okay then! I called and asked if I could visit them to learn more. And learn... Continue Reading →
I have had a series of “I don’t care daysâ€. Too many things, all at once.
I know, that is a broad statement. Not all men nor women want what I meant in the graphic. But in my circles here in Idaho, it sums it succinctly. 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 →
