Today is mine and Brian’s 18th wedding anniversary. 18 years! WOW! In this era where the divorce rate is 50%, I think our 18 is really an accomplishment…or is it? I can’t help but think of a couple of very dear girlfriends of mine. One recently celebrated 50 years of wedded bliss with her darling [...]

I was struck by a memory of my Mom while I was making my coffee, this morning. My Mom was very particular about her coffee. At home, her coffee was easily half coffee and half Coffee Mate French Vanilla Creamer. The challenge was when we went out to eat. Mom only drank coffee in the [...]

Because I grew up the child of packrats, it pretty much obliterated any possible “packrat” genes I might have possessed. If anything the opposite is true. However, I am married to [...]

Those orange things in the box would be the elusive clay pigeons. You can only hunt them while in flight. But the damn things don’t have wings, so you need a launcher…hence the weird metal thing mickey-rigged on a tire rim. Once you’ve shot the clay pigeon, you needn’t clean it, only make sure, when [...]

I am someone who is very happy with the way my life has turned out. I have occasionally wondered how things would have differed had I taken the “other” path when I have reached certain forks in the road.
