8 Pictures
Sharing my most recent posts to Instagram… Miss Cookie decided to hang out in my office one morning. Bright dandelion cuddled up against the front porch step. Orange juice over crushed ice on the front porch during morning quiet time. Recipe for “Summer Night” posted at the Maverik station… I had to give it a try. And I liked it!…

Community Garden
A few weeks ago I was perusing the list of parks on our city’s website. One that caught my eye was the Community Garden. We have a Community Garden? Cool! I wonder where it is? Right next to the Parks & Rec building, you say? Why, that’s just across the street. I had noticed the pretty landscaping before, but I…

Baby Sisters
When I was 19 months old my parents brought home a set of baby sisters for me. I took very good care of them. I taught them to play the piano… …and how to count to three… …and how to build a snowman… plus lots more useful stuff. My parents couldn’t always give me everything I asked for, but…

National Forest Day Trip
We don’t currently have a trailer, so we haven’t been doing much camping lately. Maybe we’ll be able to get one by next summer. However, the next best thing is a day trip to the mountains. One of our favorite weekend activities, if you hadn’t noticed, is to head out on a Sunday afternoon drive. This past weekend we chose…

Recently Read
Lately I’ve been reading a lot of YA and light fiction, rather than following the 2016 Reading Challenge that I would like to complete this year. I do plan to get back to it before long, but for the past few weeks, the lighter fare has been a nice diversion. Here’s a list of some of my recent reading (and…

Photo Update
Taking pictures with my phone is a quick and easy way to chronicle the memorable moments of my life. I’m not much of a selfie taker, but I like sharing the more artsy shots on Instagram. I realize that not all my blog readers have Instagram, so I decided to start posting my most recent 8 shots here on my blog.…

The View from My Porch
The building we live in is not beautiful. It has a print shop on one side and our apartment on the other side. But it’s got the cutest little ramshackle front porch at the print shop entry that I have claimed as my own. It reminds me of an old-fashioned general store… a la Lum and Abner.I added a little…

Small Town Living
We’ve been back in north Idaho for just over 2 weeks now and I have to say small town living agrees with me. Interestingly, we have moved back into an apartment we lived in 10 years ago, and I am actually enjoying it more this time around. It was recently remodeled, which helps tremendously, but I think having just come…
