First, apologies for YOLO. I've never used that acronym before and I promise to retire it immediately. The term, that is. The sentiment? Not likely. I've got a little trip planned with three of my besties - a long weekend in New Orleans. I'm rather ridiculously excited. I've never been to this city before, but … Continue reading YOLO – NOLA

Last Run and a good run
This past weekend may have been close to perfect. One of my favorite girls arrived prior to the snow and we settled in to an afternoon of satisfying household tasks. There was cooking, roasting and baking. A tree was agreed upon and chopped down, by me. Later, it was beautifully decorated, not by me. I … Continue reading Last Run and a good run

There were just too damn many fun things to do! Had I been able to master the skill of being … Continue reading Saturday – a celebration and a speakeasy
Taking a punch
I began my day on the floor, next to Cassidy, my tears dripping on the softest fur a dog has ever had. That's why we picked her, you know. In a litter of 11 beautiful black labs, she was different, wearing a lavender ribbon around her neck with fur that could only be described as … Continue reading Taking a punch
Book review – “The Diviners” – Libba Bray
It’s seem appropriate that I wrote about the most recent book I read, The Diviners by Libba Bray, on the anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition. Why? Because this suspenseful novel is set during the roaring twenties and illicit gin and hidden speakeasies both make appearances. This book was originally brought to my attention by … Continue reading Book review – “The Diviners” – Libba Bray
