America is 250!
If you had told me 50 years ago that Donald Trump would be our president when America turns 250, I would have said you were crazy. Or if you would have told me 25 years ago that I would not get to celebrate with my family at home today because we are spending time with…

Cancer, Laughter, and Fireflies
On the way out of the rehabilitation center last night, I watched a mini shooting star flit across the lawn, then a second one. The little girl in me got so excited. Just for a moment, she wanted to find a jar or cup to capture these teeny flickering dots for me so I could…

Speak a Post
So why do I feel guilty when I don’t write? Because I made a promise to myself. A great motto is “Remember Your Promises.” Bloggers and writers, if you are like me, you sometimes put too much pressure on yourselves to write a certain number of days or posts. It’s not necessary. Just write when…

Mushrooms
What do you love now, that you hated when you were younger? My parents never cooked with mushrooms. The first time I tried them as an adult, they were on a salad. Raw. Ick! I still do not like to eat raw mushrooms. The second time I tried them, they were cooked on a pizza.…

Heartfelt Trip to Indiana
Stopped at a Denny’s in Rock Springs on our way to tonight’s destination – Cheyenne, WY. My husband’s brother was informed two days ago that the tumor in his brain is Glioblastoma. He was given the awful news of 1-3 months without chemo and radiation. With chemo and radiation, that death sentence can be stretched…

Do you remember?
What’s your top tip to be successful in life? My top tip is don’t drink or do drugs. I can remember as an older teenager that I liked getting together with friends who liked to party. We always had fun, but the difference between me and them is that I could remember the dancing, fun…

1 Samuel 16:7
This was one of those days. Slow. Not very productive. Sat down at the computer early this morning to write, but nothing materialized. Made a breakfast for my family of hashbrowns and farm fresh eggs that I bought from my friend. There is nothing better than farm fresh eggs. Played with my grandson for awhile.…

Just be yourself
How do you build loyal subscribers? I don’t write just to get subscribers. Although, I am grateful for each and every one of them. I write because I feel like sharing my thoughts. And, I like to read the authentic thoughts of other bloggers, too.

Bowling Just for Fun
One day, back when my husband and I were dating, he asked me what I wanted to do. I don’t know, what do you want to do? I don’t know what do YOU want to do? I DON’T KNOW! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? You know, the never-ending back and forth, that actually ends…

Spelling Bees
My recollection is of me, in third grade, sitting on the floor at the feet of my beautiful mom sitting on the couch holding several pages stapled together of what seemed like endless lists of words appropriate for my grade level and above. One by one, my mom would state a word and maybe use…

My Addiction
Yes, I have an addiction. I am a little embarrassed to admit that I love McDonald’s strawberry cream pies! This morning, when I pulled up to the window to order, I asked for a strawberry apple pie. The girl taking my order went with it. She said, “Ooo, strawberry apple pie would be so good!”…
