In the better late than never category, I decided it was high time I jotted a little something about the Holidays. There is picture my husband has on his phone that sums up the tone of our Holidays. It is in the cabin we rented at the Ski area. He took it from the loft … Continue reading The Best Kind of Picture
Family Life
Flight or Fight?
Always Flight. Flight. Fleeing. My instinct to flee has created some family stories that do not always paint me in the best light. These three stories are not my finest hour, but better to own them and #laughalongandlearn. 1) We are in Hawaii. Balmy, beautiful Maui. I have a new swimsuit with a detachable skirt … Continue reading Flight or Fight?
A Different Kind Of Morning
We moved last week. We moved from a lovely house on the hill, a cabin really that overlooked a busy harbor. A working harbor. We moved to a house out of town, on the water. A bigger lot, not so close to neighbors. Lots of trees and privacy. It is quiet here. And dark at … Continue reading A Different Kind Of Morning

Epic Fall
The prompt is fall. Fall. Fall, Autumn, my favorite time of year. I was going to write about how lovely it is out today, how crisp the air is, how gold the light, but thought, no. I have written about that before, and most likely will again, but I thought I would share an … Continue reading Epic Fall
Perfect Peppered Steak
(The prompts: Peppered Steak, smirk, eclectic) When I was a child we rarely ate out. Sunday meal were huge pot roasts we ate for days, meals were hearty, healthy and unremarkable. Sorry mom. But they were. If my dad was working and it was a summer day, my mom might drive through McDonald's for burgers … Continue reading Perfect Peppered Steak
Good Will Stories
Story Number One: Hot RollersI got rid of my hot hair rollers. The ones that made beautiful bouncy Farrah Fawcett style curls. The ones I used in the seventies... Then later in the eighties for "big hair." Even early in my teaching career I used them. So I took these hot rollers to Good Will. … Continue reading Good Will Stories
