27 September 2015Well, today marks our first day back in the US in over a week. I could have stayed in Paris for another month and never tired of it, I know. I miss the sights, the sounds, the smells, the activity, and the history. Here, there is really none of that. Here there are …

Leaving Paris
26 Septembre 2015 So today is the day we have to leave Paris. I newrly ran away in the night and his somewhere in the streets just to get to stay a bit longer. I have that fantasy just about every time we travel somewhere new and cool. I never want to leave. I never …
Paris Disney
24 Septembre 2015 What a most excellent day we have had! We started the day by buying pastries from a local bakery and coffee from Starbucks. The latter is American but hard to beat when it comes to coffee. Funny thing here though. There is never anything labeled "low fat" and they only have half …
Paris Day 4
Tuesday, 22 September 2015 We have spent a wonderful fourth day in Paris, third full day actually, doing everything we wanted to do. Today we toured the Sun King's palace at Versailles. Amazing. Just an awesome experience. As a Francophile and actual fan of Marie Antoinette and her cronies, I totally and throughly enjoyed every …

Honoring the 100
My grandmothers were born one day apart. I don’t mean like one day apart as in June 29 and June 30 of two different years. I mean one day apart the same year. One had her first child at 33. One had twins at 17. They lived very different lives, but this year, on July …
Week Three
Well, it’s been nearly three weeks since I had the uterine ablation procedure. I have had almost none of the side effects that everyone warns about. No cramping. No bleeding. No weird discharge (TMI, I know), and no weird smells. It’s like they went in with a big waterpik and just cleaned everything out. I’m …
Dreams – Come True
I grew up in a very small town in a very rural area in a state. We had 73 people in our graduating class, although nowadays those ranks have dwindled down to about 35. People move away, things change, but life goes on.When I was a little kid, there was only one real attorney in …
Life Begins with Flight
This morning, we witnessed something truly amazing. For a couple of months now, a mama bird has had a nest in one of my outdoor plants. She started out trying to make a nest in my very most favorite pot outside, the pot I bought from The Good Earth with money someone gave me for …
