I’ve Been Pondering…
The gift of a good walk. Recently I enjoyed the New York Times article “Whatever The Problem, It’s Probably Solved By Walking” by Andrew McCarthy, who has now walked the Camino de Santiago twice. While I’ve always dreamed of walking that pilgrimage route, I still discover any walk to be a gift. I’m happy while…

The Week In Seven Photos
While spring fever has its grip on many, and the world’s trying to send me a message, I have to admit between the cold, rain, and sleet that I don’t have an enthusiastic spring response. I’m trying to shake off the crazy March weather as a new month is ready to greet us with rain,…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The enjoyment of tip wars at my favorite coffee shops. Yep, I’m one of those people that doesn’t necessarily tip based on service. You never know what’s going on in someone’s life or how their day is going and as an introvert, I definitely do not care about over the top friendliness. Trust me, some…

I cheer…

We’ve lost count, but do believe there have been over 30 text messages and ten delivery date…

My new obsession with minimalist photography. Only time will tell, if after this exciting month of photography experiences my desire for simplicity will take over my camera.

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…

I’ve Been Pondering…
A little wave of nostalgia. Over the years I’ve adjusted to all the changes when attending concerts and sporting events (cost, no purses allowed, security, arguing with the computer that I’m not a bot, the loss of a cool ticket souvenir with tickets on your phone), but now discovering at some stadiums all points of…

I’ve Been Pondering…
What does it say about my attitude this year that my witty coffee mugs have been replaced by this classic diner mug? Too many episodes of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives? Too many healthy habits affecting my witty edge? Thor’s Diner Scene? Pining for a simpler world? Discovering coffee tastes better in old fashioned mugs with…
