  • . Taking a selfie in the bright sun with a white visor, white hair and a white T-shirt… . Being on the downhill side of a golf cart driving horizontally on a hill looking for a ball . Walking up a steep hill when you’ve told the cart driver…”go ahead, I’ll walk & catch up” Read more

  • Mobility

    We noticed this morning that the geese are flying. Feathers have grown back and our little goose family of 6 will be dipping their feet in other neighborhood ponds. I will miss their daily visits to the grounds below the bird feeder…but this is the time of year when I enjoy the cacophony when they Read more

  • Was visiting the Souvenir store and walking around outside the office of Dog the Bounty Hunter in Oahu ….. And ….I was actually able to convince Him to walk with me to the parking lot behind Dog’s office to maybe catch a glimpse of them running out the back to their cars ….I was so Read more

  • Sometimes…..

    sometimes we get so caught up in the drama and speed of our lives that we don’t remember, realize, recall just how lucky we are and how much we are loved, as well as, our capacity to spread our love around. We spent a long weekend “back home” in Iowa.  My heart was beating out Read more

  • Vegas with strangers

    My childhood friend, Sue, texted me a few months ago and told me she and 3 high school friends were going to Vegas to see Donny and Marie…did I want to go? It wasn’t until I was deplaning, that I had that little twinge of anxiety about spending a weekend in the penthouse suite of Read more

I have been on a path of self discovery for many years….mainly because I didn’t like to spend time with myself Read more

  • Stuck

    Being “stuck” in the house because of the below zero windchills has given me cabin fever. Being stuck in the house because I choose not to go outside is much different that living on a country road in Iowa in the middle of winter when I was literally stuck in the house for days because Read more

  • Back in the 60’s my mother was a legal secretary for a law firm in Des Moines.  I was probably about 8 or 9 when Linda came into our lives as a high school girl hired to work part time in this law firm basically under the tutelage of my mother. Linda had a strong Read more

  • On my mind today

    Where, why and how does mucous generate and is it really just sitting in my sinus waiting for a blow? Why do women discard their bras when they get home. How do you stand going braless? Why does the humidity lower in the house when it is cold outside? It’s still 71 degrees in the Read more

  • December 7

    I remember exactly where I was sitting when I got the call on December 7, 1979 from my BFF of 4 years with the news that she had a baby girl…..and I remember the call in March of this year from my BFF of 42 years telling me Dana’s heart had stopped beating. So many Read more
