Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Well, I got my second vaccination dose yesterday. Today I have a sore arm, feel a bit sluggish. But that’s it. I am fortunate after hearing so many stories from friends that felt otherwise. Getting vaccinated has me thinking, what do I want to do this summer that I have not been able to for... Continue Reading →
This is not another looking back at 2020 but looking forward. I recognized that last year had it’s share of gloom, but the gloom I am referring to is the loss of lives, friends and acquaintances from cancer, COVID or suicide. The grief that accompanied each loss was, in many ways, different from the last... Continue Reading →
Well, I am here at home on a Sunday night with NO ideas for my blog, recipe I concocted was a disaster (will work on this), attitude is down (worked on this over weekend) and business is tough. Where to begin??? Let’s go with the recipe first. I had a hankering for a hash brown... Continue Reading →

I was craving my Savory Squash bread, which I originally posted in 2015. It was a year after Paul died, and I had become comfortable in the tiny house I moved into, comfortable in the tiny kitchen I navigated each day. I was comfortable again. But, if life teaches us anything, it is that we... Continue Reading →
So much has taken place in the past 2.5 months since my open-heart surgery. Learning my limitations for the first three weeks was tough on this girl! Walking in increments to reach my goal, getting in and out of bed in a way to protect my chest, being tired all the time to eventually just... Continue Reading →
I had writers block this week! So much so that this blog post has been sitting in MS Word on my taskbar all week. Avoidance much? For those of you that know me well, you would be as surprised as I was earlier this week. November 4th would have been Paul’s birthday. Which is a... Continue Reading →
