Country or City 29 June 2015
Remember the story of the country mouse and the city mouse? I’m definitely the country mouse, but I do enjoy the city. I love the wide-open spaces, or a tree-lined mountain trail, a wind-swept shoreline with waves crashing-a place where … Continue reading
Perfect 25 June 2015
One of my perfect days starts with a half a cup of coffee before sunrise and leading me into a six-mile run that feels more like three. Return to watch the completion of the sunrise with a full cup of … Continue reading
Missing 24 June 2015
I miss snow falling when it’s summer. I miss Black Cows and Sugar Babies. I miss bunk beds and tiny babies warm in my arms. I miss innocence and not knowing any better. I miss being able to call Cathy … Continue reading

Forgive and Forget? 22 June 2015

Dinner 11 June 2015
One of my favorite dinners includes: zucchini grilled with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic paired with salmon that has also been grilled and is crusty golden brown on both sides. In my perfect dinner world, there … Continue reading

rest 8 June 2015
Everyone talks about how teachers get three months off and so their job must be the best of both worlds-to get paid for three months when you aren’t even working! Ha! Follow a teacher around for a while and you’ll … Continue reading
By the way side 4 June 2015
I used to care a great deal about a lot of things I no longer give a thought to, except with some kind of fond nostalgia, an inner smile when I come across them: Smurfs. I had a whole … Continue reading

Qualities 1 June 2015
