I’ve Been Pondering…
Taylor Swift mania after having too much time on my hands and being in between songs and shows. Well, to be honest it all began with news of a special Taylor Swift milkshake at my favorite bakery celebrating her sold out shows Friday and Saturday night in Detroit and enjoying torturing my niece with Swiftie…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The Icelandic phrase “þetta reddast” which means “it will all work out in the end.” I wrapped up all my projects a week early and have begun my summer vacation away from to-do lists and over thinking and letting go of the illusion of control. In other words, I hope it will all work out…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The art of being relaxed when approached by a stranger. Harper and I have been known to scare off a variety of wildlife in the backyard, but for some reason this mourning dove did not view us as a threat and stayed there relaxed for a photo shoot. This is the polar opposite of earlier…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The art of doing nothing. Surprisingly, it takes a lot of work to get ready to do nothing. I’ve been making list after list trying to accomplish everything before June so I have plenty of time to do nothing all summer. Nobody in the family believes this will happen or that I’m capable of making…

I’ve Been Pondering…
My lack of successful predictions. As we begin my all-time favorite sporting event, the first two rounds of March Madness, I remembered that I’ve never predicted a NCAA March Madness Final Four and I’ve definitely learned this month that I can’t predict the weather. My sports predictions have been so bad at times that my…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The phrase “get off my lawn” that I hear quite often on my favorite sports show Pardon the Interruption. It always strikes me funny when they use the phrase concerning the sports attitudes and behavior of younger generations and I’m beginning to wonder if I’m enjoying the phrase too much at this age. I cheer…

I’ve Been Pondering…
Brand loyalty and ice storms. I think we set a record with three ice storms in two weeks and we have probably set another record on the number of text messages and cancellations concerning our new stove purchase. We’ve lost count, but do believe there have been over 30 text messages and ten delivery date…

I’ve Been Pondering…
Being referred to as set in my ways. I’ve never been the my way or the highway type, in my mind more of a somewhat carefree stubborn solid as a rock type with a few rules and schedules. This pondering was set off by my niece questioning after a recent shopping outing how I could…
