I have been told everyone has a story. I believe that. I also believe that in most homes there are several photos behind the current one in the same frame. It is the oldest Mom hack in the world to save time, money and space. Occasionally I was surprised by what I found behind my […]
Finding the magic, yours and mine
August 12, 2024 by
I often sit in front of this 12 year old Mac ( hang in there buddy, you can keep going) and wonder what to write about. What can I share that will be of value, joy or make someone laugh? Taking a break from trying to come up with an idea helps as does hanging […]
Discovering fun on Thoughtful Thursday!
July 11, 2024 by
I know I know! Whenever I promote snail mail I just know there are people out there ( mostly younger than myself) who are just rolling their eyes at the thought of sitting down, writing a note, finding an address and a stamp and actually mailing it. Just send a text or an email..so much […]

You Matter! Your words matter! Perserverance pays off!
November 6, 2023 by
The life of a writer, like any other profession is a roller coaster of emotions. Often we write from a vulerable place within us. We put the words on paper, online in a blog post or social media and hope that in some small way our words add to the lives of those reading the […]
The Dog ate my Taxes
October 16, 2023 by
The newest version of our dog ate my homework. Paul and I (mostly Paul) had the dubious honor of shredding over 30 years of my fathers financial papers and other records. Oh the things we found. 🙂 My Dad was a smart guy. He was also very social despite being shy as a kid. He […]
The Blessings Of Grief
July 19, 2023 by
I’m guessing that not many people would put the words blessings and grief together but I could see no other way. Also I promised myself I would not write one more sad post about grief and losing people that I love but……hang in here with me, I promise this is more about joy than it […]
