Wowza! Last week was certainly a doozy. I feel as though I lived several lifetimes in the course of the past seven days. I don’t recognize much of anything in the world these days and that may not be a bad thing. Real Old Testament Stuff Movie buffs will remember those words as part of … Continue reading Who’s In Control?
Welcome to 2021. It has been a long time since I last posted because I got tired of the politics, pandemic, and power grabs. I didn’t think I could coherently write anything that didn’t involve screaming and cursing - neither of which I do in my day to day life. Life in 2020 brought out … Continue reading A New Year, New Perspective

I firmly believe I could have accomplished so much more in my life if I had just made the decision to do it...and then actually did the thing. I worried about making a mistake. I didn’t trust myself … Continue reading Little Decisions
Today I am doing things a little differently. I’m not going outside because, well, it is kind of gross out there this morning. Mugginess has replaced the cool fall air. Delta is churning in the gulf and we are expecting some wind and rain tomorrow. So today I’m indoors. But I’m also coming inside in … Continue reading The Final Word
I picked up grandma’s egg basket, added my new embroidery book and a fresh piece of fabric secured in a small hoop and came outside for my daily dose of coffee, nature watching and blogging. Knitting Progress? It may be hard to tell from this photo, but my hat is noticeably smaller than last week. … Continue reading Going Backward, But Moving Forward
Warning: Political opinion ahead. Since this is my blog it may be the last place my conservative opinion will be allowed to become public. I post this with trepidation. I do not do debate well.
