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

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
The Hits Keep On Coming
March has been a roller coaster. Enjoyed a nice weekend earlier in the month for our 9 year wedding anniversary and were able to see some family which was lovely. And then my best friend since 1986 died from no known causes. We have to wait for toxicology to come back to determine, hopefully, what … Continue reading The Hits Keep On Coming

In Memoriam
Loved and missed every day. Yet I feel you with me still.

I was never an academic so college was not something I was looking forward to. … Continue reading My Friend Mary

All it takes is a moment such as today, June 20th. One day. There are a few of them each year, a few days spread throughout the year that reach up and grab me by the throat threatening to squeeze the life right out of me. Every year it changes though, not so desperate or … Continue reading A Moment
The loop-d-loop
Amazing! Happy! Joyful! Exuberant! Energetic! Healthier! In-Love! For the past year or so those have been the words I would use to describe my life. Pretty darn good. Everything came together finally, after 39 years of trying to figure this life thing out. The roller coaster heads for a loop.. Sad, Lonely, Fatigued, Quiet, Depressed, … Continue reading The loop-d-loop
A first..
Today I will bake a lasagna for a Navy family who recently lost their mother/wife. She just stopped, no illness or pre-existing issue known, just stopped. My husband's squadron has kindly scheduled someone to provide a meal for them through this weekend and we offered to do it for Sunday night dinner. I feel just … Continue reading A first..
