iPhone Journey – Day 20
This is an image that most often would be accompanied by words conveying the silence and solitude I love during morning walks, but on this occasion the delightful soundtrack was the echo of children’s laughter from a distant playground mixed with parents cheering along the soccer field. A new park and vibe for a new…

iPhone Journey – Day 15
It appears iPhone car photography might be the theme this week. A week of appointments and errands means you catch a shot when possible and I hurriedly pulled over to take this shot through the passenger window after telling my niece to move back a bit. Well, I got the look as we were on…

iPhone Journey – Day 9
Began the day by saying thank you, thank you to the rainy skies because it meant no yard work or walks. Needed a rest day and thought I would share a brief story. Over the years I have sought many relaxing techniques during stressful times and after a very stressful summer due to my mother’s…

iPhone Journey – Day 7
It was a day of adjustments with the iPhone as I’ve always been a stickler about staying on trails and sidewalks as much as possible (wouldn’t be pretty if we had a tick experience), but without a good zoom lens Harper and I had to walk through the wet grass to capture a great blue…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The challenge of relaxing. It’s been another stressful week and you know you’re in trouble when peaceful nature scenes can’t relax you. We usually head to the nature trails for relaxation, but Harper made it quite clear she wasn’t being left home. Well, with a 5k event going on and bikes and rollerbladers wizzing by,…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The phrase up shit creek without a paddle. One of those phrases I’ve heard throughout my lifetime, but not one I liked or wanted to use until this week. While my mother is still improving and recovering, my husband now has vertigo and while I don’t need a paddle for the creek, I am about…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The art of wearing many hats. My mother took a big spill last week that she is slowly recovering from and I’ve had to adjust quickly to wearing many hats and none suit me as well as my bucket hats. The chef’s hat required my first attempt at making poached eggs and while I was…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The phrase “adaptive delusion” and the fact that I’ve decided I need a little delusion in my life. On the scale of delusion to reality, I’m off the charts into living in the real world. Somehow the facts of the moment always drown out the drama and delusion, but in a week where Harper exhausted…

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…
