Was it me, or did Mother’s Day this year seem...I don’t know, weightier than usual? I found the phrase “Happy Mother’s Day” being tossed about like confetti and I’m guilty of sprinkling about a handful or two of those sincere wishes myself. It’s seems so long ago, my first Mother’s Day. 1997. I guess that makes … Continue reading Blue x 3 = Silver
10 Things from which I’m currently taking delight
The Tweezers finding that one coarse chin hair (even with my contacts in, which means I’m blind closeup.) All my socks pairing up. Every single bath towel in my house clean, folded and stacked in the bathroom. Banging out all of the errands and then parking my car for the remainder of the day. Respectfully … Continue reading 10 Things from which I’m currently taking delight
Back to the Garden -Troy Night Out
There’s been a lot of talk that the Roaring 20s are going to once again be a thing.

My then boyfriend (and now former husband) and I were preparing for our first vacation together. Our destination was … Continue reading Hike more, worry less
Bash. Me.
I clearly remember when I first realized it was “Bash Bish Falls,” and not “Bish Bash Falls...because it was last Sunday, the same day I finally got there after hearing about this spot for what must be years. Perched on the border of N.Y. and MA, the highest waterfall in the Commonwealth is an ideal … Continue reading Bash. Me.
(San Jacinto)Mountain Pose
Despite being fully vaccinated, I’m still reluctant to go back to my favorite yoga studio. I like my yoga HOT and can’t imagine enjoying a challenging 75 minute class while wearing a mask. It simply doesn’t appeal to me and I’ve been reasonably satisfied practicing at home. The Hot Yoga Spot offers what I think … Continue reading (San Jacinto)Mountain Pose
