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 →
The Skies Are Not a Limit
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 →
I Let the Light In Every Day
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 →
Feminism As a Senior
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.

Intense Feelings Are Like a Dark Cloud

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 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...

This Is Going To Be My Year of Music
I am remiss in posting my pictures from Treefort 2023, their 11th year here in Boise, Idaho. This music festival has inspired me to make the rest of the year about music! And, from my home I can take the bus into downtown Boise and either take the bus home or get a rideshare. WHY... Continue Reading →
Strong, Independent Women #WonderWomen
I clean up my text messages occasionally, and this weekend I noticed I had not continued a conversation for an entire month. My bad. After texting that friend, I realized that is a topic for my blog and that it is far more important than anything else right now. Strong Women. Strong, independent women seek... Continue Reading →
