A Mixed Bag Week
While the gardener and I were in California for two days last week, my daughter encountered the bobcat. She was in the back of our house, watering plants. As she turned slightly, she saw the bobcat...

Another Opportunity for a New (to me) Book
I was in California this past week, and I discovered a “little free library” in front of someone’s house when I was mailing some letters. I’d never had the opportunity before, so I grabbed a book I was...

That Same Old Drive Again
Last week we drove to California for work again. I tried to keep my camera phone on in case I could snap a shot of anything else of interest besides those beheaded palm trees I posted last time. The...

A Colorful Trip
After the gardener recovered (at least enough for travel), we went to California for a couple of days. What gorgeous color all over the hills! Because it’s rained so much this winter the wildflowers...

The Artist Date, Sort Of (Bowers Museum)
Last week I posted about the first Artist Date (Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way) I went on when my uncle was visiting. We visited the Teotihuacan exhibit at the Phoenix Art Museum. A few days later we...

Mostly Cats
This past week has been exhausting. More travel–to California this time–and time spent at the ER (for the gardener, not me). There’s a story in that ER visit, but I don’t have it in me right now. Scary...

Secret Lives
I read a short memoir recently. It was recommended to me by Charles who blogs at Moore Genealogy when I posted about a couple of family heirlooms on my family history blog. A big thank you to Charles...

Celebrity Story
Every family has its stories. The ones that cause us to post links and odd comments on the social media of our family members. Nobody else “gets” it because they don’t know the stories we’ve developed...

A Spotted Jumping Dog

Little Shoes
The other day the gardener and I were in California, on a solidly packed freeway, and a truck that pulled ahead of us on the right drew my attention. Hanging out of the back, one on each side, were two...

Threads and Threading
Not sure the title will make sense even after you read the post. Nothing in here about sewing. The wedding was lovely. Although the wind was strong at the time of the wedding, we were blessed with sun...

A Quick Visit to The Land of Beaches and Traffic
I’ve been beachside for my future DIL’s bridal shower. Lovely air for my sinuses and skin. The hills were alive with the color of wildflowers everywhere that housing developments haven’t taken over!...

Lazybones Blog Post
After a difficult week, I offer some of the more positive views I experienced (outside of my post-election distress, complicated migraine, screwed-up-and-painful leg, and ridiculously hectic travel)....

That Same Old Drive
We go back and forth between Arizona and California often enough that I am sick of the ride. There are only two ways to travel. One is via Interstate 8 through the mountains west of San Diego. We pass...

Never Gonna Dance Again
On Monday I had a recheck on my foot reconstruction that was done 10.5 years ago. My surgeon is now retired, so I saw a new doctor. He’s quite young, but I think he is still in contact with my original...

Places to Go and People to See
My mother is visiting for two months. So that she doesn’t have to sit around while I work all the time, I decided to take her to southern California and visit her grandson and his fiancée. And to stop...
