Hopeful! “You have been hit by lightning; but you will be okay.” ~ The Neurologist ~ Those have become my most oft quoted words, of late. I have not been enjoying the freedom, which I thought the vaccine would bring. Instead, I had an ear infection in March, which turned into the most challenging time…
In-N-OutTo Go, Otherwise Known as Eating In I do not know how this moment could be more perfect! California owns “car culture” in my humble opinion. There are few other places, in this great nation, that provide a more inviting drive than California. The state’s highways and byways really do inspire you to…
Finally! “Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!” ~ Isaiah 31:18 ~ I burnt up my tea kettle. I could have ordered a replacement, and maybe should have,…

Bears Indeed! Driving through Lake Tahoe, California, I spotted this View, and had to stop to snap a picture. I am sorry I cannot adequately credit the business; but I so appreciate their whimsy! Whimsy will return one day soon.
The Earrings I know I have been thinking about how this month we mark the year anniversary, of our lives being impacted by the pandemic. But even though there is a lot to say, I do not want to focus on covid-19 anymore. I know we cannot truly avoid thinking about it, and it…
Do You Remember Do you remember the day we met? Everything seemed so ordinary, I could not have imagined what that encounter would mean. It was your earrings which drew me to you. They did not match. I figured it was with intent; But was not sufficiently sophisticated to know that was the look…
