I turned 49 this year and for the first time I am focusing on what my style is. Part of that has been honing in on what draws me without outside influence. My instinct has always been to soak in what others around me enjoy, it started with wanting to be like my brother when … Continue reading Art Perspective
Never Bored
I was sharing yesterday about my four years in Italy in which I didn't work and the other person said she couldn't do that, she would be so bored. Perhaps I am an oddity but those four years, and honestly my entire life, I can't recall ever being bored. I have been unsatisfied at times … Continue reading Never Bored
November intentions
October is behind us and what a month it was! Many thing accomplished with the move and settling in but not much happened smoothly. Just want to move forward now that we have crossed over to November. What I would like to accomplish this month: Computer fix must happen, or replacement. I'm done waiting, ABS … Continue reading November intentions
First 3 weeks
New rental, new job, new town. We relocated three weeks ago and just about everything has had issues, it's exhausting. Very few things went smoothly but I am thankful that nothing has been catastrophic. We have moved every 3 or 4 years together since 2003 with very few issues so I guess it was time … Continue reading First 3 weeks

Nothing is quite working out the way we thought but it's still working out. 🙂 I am thankful and hopeful for what we have experienced and for what is coming our way.
Countdown Begins
We have entered the countdown stage. Three weeks until the husband starts a month of mostly vacation time which mostly will consist of packing, sorting, donating, then terminal leave kicks in. Then retirement commences. Still no idea where we will be moving to or when but it will be before Oct. I remain forever flexible … Continue reading Countdown Begins
Roadtripping
This may be controversial but we discussed, analyzed and decided to take a road trip in April to visit family that we haven't seen much of after returning to the U.S. and then pandemic and a trip cut short last year. Starting in San Diego, we drove to Flagstaff, AZ and drove Route 66 over … Continue reading Roadtripping
On A Positive Note
A little retail therapy this week produced a string of lighted clips that are displaying my bookmarks much better than the string and tape throw together I had them on previously. I have bookmarks from most of the places we traveled to while living in Europe - and one from Japan. I will organize this … Continue reading On A Positive Note
