• Crazy times….for Black Friday sales or something?

  

  It has never made sense to me why people trample each other for socks sales? I am all for good deals…at the expense of someone else’s life or injury…not worth. I can honestly say I haven’t been to Black Friday sales since I was a twenty something…I have since shopped on line for years. I […]

• Sarcasm…sun…and stories!

  

  I learned early in life that I could defend myself with words. Particularly when using sarcasm. Work and home have been incredibly stressful lately. I find myself pissing people off at work everyday with vigor and enthusiasm. I probably should stop that. Laughter is the best medicine in stress filled situations at least it is […]

• Your voice matters…So Vote!

  

  My mother one year dressed my sister and I as suffragettes…it was for our Harvest festival at our church, we even made cardboard signs with paint stirrers… it’s a wonderful memory. It is a privilege so many fought for. I have voted every year since the day I turned 18… I admire so many women […]

• Smoke…and Tacos

  Normally taco Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. Today it has been very scary. My family is caught directly in the path of the southern Oregon wildfires. At one point today I did not know if they were ok… Thankfully my family is so far ok. I am relieved. They are not out […]
