“A Dog’s Purpose” crushed me. I knew it was a bad idea to watch this movie, yet cuddled on the couch with my boy, I thought I’d make it through ok. I didn’t. It’s probably time for me to accept the fact that I can’t tolerate watching animals or humans, particularly children, being mistreated and … Continue reading Crying with a “purpose” and laughing when “life is beautiful”

Time is short
I’ve been so busy doing things and going places that I haven’t had a moment to chronicle any of it. It’s kind of getting me frustrated, but that’s how I typically react to not having what I want - in this case more time. I’ve made some notes and I swear I’m going to carve … Continue reading Time is short

As is often the case, the options for the holiday weekend were numerous and making … Continue reading Crafts and craft cider

I say "almost" because I intentionally saved a teeny bit for a soothing cup or two of tea (with bourbon and lemon) that I will savor during my … Continue reading Sweetness
