Once Upon a Time
Originally posted November 23, 2016 This girl was already considered weird because of her tendency to make up stories, write poetry, and keep to herself while the Missouri kids played baseball at school recess. She could neither throw a ball in the right direction or hit a ball with a bat–even the recess equipment was…

One Room at a Time
Originally posted September 13, 2016 Have you ever been so overwhelmed by the clutter in your life that you can’t face the thought of attacking it and whittling it down? It could be clutter in your home, clutter in your social life, or clutter in your thoughts. Even too much of a good thing can…

How NOT to Move
August 16, 2016 See this guy in the picture? He’s a doctor (well, actually, he’s a guy dressed up as a doctor.) You might need one of those if you decide to move. Keep one handy just in case. Nearly every American has moved at some time in life. I’ve moved. Not much, and always…

A Place of Peace
Originally posted on May 26, 2016 This picture reminds me of a place we explored a few years ago. It’s near Lake Tahoe where the hiking trails never seem to end, where we saw our first black bear in the woods–it was a baby bear. Quite frightening since we realized mama bear had to be…

Take a Slow Vacation
Originally posted on April 26, 2016 This cat has the right idea. He has always known how to relax, and for years I’ve envied him. Of course, he doesn’t have to work for food–unless he feels like hunting outdoors–and he doesn’t have to worry about where his next paycheck is coming from. Nobody puts a…
