This will be a long one. I normally pick and choose photos but I'm including almost all of the photos I took so my parents will see them. This post will be about a travel adventure but also a genealogy tracking for me and for my Dad as it's his bloodline. The first year in … Continue reading Slovakia via Krakow
Sit back with a cup of whatever and settle in, this is a long one with a lot of thoughts processing. What did you want to be when you were young looking ahead at life? Most of my teenage years were spent wanting to be a pilot of a fighter jet then it changed to … Continue reading When We Grow Up
Loved and missed every day. Yet I feel you with me still.
We had an awesome dog in my childhood. Phydoux (our alternative spelling for Fido) was energetic and happy, had soft curly but not kinky hair and a super cute face. He was a poodle/terrier mix so I had little idea that I was allergic to dogs until being around other ones more as an adult. … Continue reading A Dog, A Mom and A Prom

He's the sweetest, best tempered ferret I've ever seen. Yes, he gets into things and he poops on our floor but can't blame him. He's in … Continue reading Highs and Lows

This is likely a personal issue within myself, I find doubt that someone is being honest, upfront, genuine and … Continue reading Trust In Myself

Most of my dreams are in a short movie style or perhaps movie trailer style and I usually see them first person, as me in the dream. I don't see myself usually unless I'm dreaming about how I specifically … Continue reading If Red Dawn Merged with Battle: Los Angeles
In the office yesterday a coworker called me into her office and asked if I smelled anything like cologne. Nope, sure don't, why? She had a very strong scent invade her desk area that reminded her of her Father who has passed on. I said well he's just visiting you, enjoy it while it lasts. … Continue reading Unexpected Visitors
