Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
I had a number of topsy turvy’s, one after the other that came my way last week. Mind you, most of these experiences were great: reconnecting with a friend, enriching a friendship with another. Hanging out for an entire morning with a friend and colleague in a real estate offer situation. Spending the afternoon with... Continue Reading →
If you live in the Treasure Valley, which is the metro area of Idaho’s capitol city of Boise, you have surely seen the unique and whimsical cards from Ladybug Press. I met the artist/owner at the Boise West Elm store, perhaps at the grand opening. I can’t remember except that when I asked if she... Continue Reading →
I am hanging out with my sister, Marianne, this week to help her out after a double procedure surgery she had recently. Little does she know that the rest of the week, I am preparing meals my way. {insert laugh} It’s a sister thing with us, who has the better recipe. In all honesty, we... Continue Reading →

Right now we are in the San Juan Islands, north of Seattle, Washington. Being here is just as if... Continue Reading →
Well, I have to tell you, this title says it all. I need a break from the daily news, I need a break from the election cycle, I need a break from the hot weather coming this way to Idaho and I need a break. Come to find out, a person can’t even hide these... Continue Reading →
They saw grief comes in waves, and for me it appears to be a tidal wave. However, I have a sturdy life jacket called joy that helps me face the challenges before me. My dear, sweet companion and best friend ever, my dog Zeke, has been diagnosed with severe congestive heart failure. It seems just... Continue Reading →
It has occurred to me to ask, if not now, then when? When the heck when? What do we wait for anyway? Why do we wait for “itâ€? When do we honestly think “it†will happen? Who are we really fooling besides ourselves? I am referring to any of those life decisions that we confront.... Continue Reading →
