The Week In Eight Photos

It’s wonderful to see the family stubbornness trait going strong in the next generation, but after months of my niece saying she would not join me for a morning walk at the park until the temperature was higher than her age, I was thrilled this week to have the stars align. I still have no…

The Week In Seven Photos

During the week I randomly find myself meditating on something insightful to share, but for the life of me somehow I occasionally forget the deep thoughts by the time I write about the week. It’s that time of year to hope that Santa has received my Christmas letter wishing for a cool Yellowstone T-shirt from…

The Week In Seven Photos

Wandering around one day this week I briefly thought I should express my love of life more often and was shocked to discover the first two things that popped into my head was that I love the pizza deliveryman and living my life on shuffle some days. Yes, I’ve reached that point in middle age…

There have been moments lately when I feel like the universe is quietly laughing at me. As a curious soul, I’m always looking for more information and new thoughts, but things have gone in an extremely strange direction since the pandemic began.

Trust me when I tell you that when I began this series I never envisioned a pair of Crocs being the feature image of the week after years of making fun of the them (ok, it was downright ridicule). I was amazed when my niece told me she was ordering pair of Crocs after hearing…

The Week In More Than Seven Photos

I’ve realized after the last few weeks that our wonderful parks need to add signs for some trail walkers. The first new sign should say Caution Muddy Path May Be Very Slippery And Cause Some To Slip and Do The Splits. It’s amazing when you constantly become distracted by slick mud how easy it is…

Yep, I’m one of those people that could be called an interrupter or someone who just in the excitement of the moment loves joining your conversation. Occasionally you meet someone who doesn’t appreciate this charming quality, but I’ve never quite understood that automatic look of irritation or immediate righteous indignation that can occur when I…

Earlier in the week I read an article about the new pandemic-era accessory of bracelets that signal your social distancing boundaries. Event hosts are offering green, yellow or red wristbands to let people know if they can come in for a hug or not. I always thought over my lifetime that my body language, the…
