• Tinsel, snow and December

  Living in the northwest has its advantages. We are lucky to have four seasons. The length of those seasons is up to Mother Nature herself. We had eighty degree days in November this year. And snow already. It makes me wonder what the rest winter will look like. I personally hope for more snow. I […]

• Sunshine and stress!

  I am so sorry it has been a while. All I can say is it’s been very difficult for the past few months. It was like my writing well had dried up. My creative voice replaced with stress and not enough sunshine. Depression and rain. As the oldest child in my family I have always […]

• A year older? Perhaps wiser?

  

  Ever notice that with each birthday it becomes a moment of reflection…your last year…what are you going to do this year? For me it is always a moment to set higher expectations for myself, to reflect on what I didn’t do the previous year…I’m incredibly hard on myself… As quick as I am to be […]

• 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 […]

• Happy Thanksgiving…be thankful for everything you have…🍁🍂🦃

  

  In a time when chaos is everywhere it is nice to know there is a national holiday that encourages you to eat, drink and spend time with family. My second favorite holiday! Last year we were unable to celebrate due to my family being inflicted with covid. They were times last year I wondered if […]

• Speed, salt, and fun!

  

  My vacation was amazing! It was a wonderful family road trip (the first of its kind.) This one was epic. Across five states, in 100+ degree weather. Bonneville speed week was an amazing display of human ingenuity, engineering, and land speed records. I was impressed to say the least. Camping, was fun. Weather was all […]

• A real vacation… is that possible?

  

  I always take time off ever year for vacation. yet every year I manage to do more work then rest. My husband and I used to take a week or two for our anniversary every year. It was wonderful to unwind, relax, just breath. We work so hard everyday it is difficult to find time […]

• Roses…ruby ale…research!

  

  Sometimes after a long day of writing I go for a walk. Today I noticed all the roses are beginning to bloom. They are my second favorite flower with my first being lilac. I even got married in a rose garden! Whenever I begin a book it feels like those buds waiting to bloom. I […]

• Chardonnay and memory foam…

  I think we become an adult once we buy memory foam. A Scientific creation to help us sleep. I have been a light sleeper since my kids were born. I can feel a mattress go bad before anyone else. My husband frequently calls me the princess in the pea. It’s true I feel everything. Only […]
