Due to writers and authors from all over the world participating in Poetry Friday, which you can read about here, with the host’s link often going live on Thursday afternoon or evening. I am NEVER ready for this. Never! I usually do not think of myself as a literal person but in this case, I…
I am currently reading The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris. The book has been scary and enjoyable all at the same time. Look for a review in a future post. The main character in the book, the Tattooist or “Tatowierer” as he is referred to by the SS in the novel carries a bag…
Recently, I’ve been more apt to tell the people I care deeply about that I love them. This mostly applies to my boys, my husband, and a few close friends. I want the people I care about to know it. And, while I’ve never had a problem saying those three little words, they seem to…
Today is Silent Sunday. On this day each week, I post photographs of my own on a theme of my choosing. I love taking photos of nature, plants, and landscapes. Enjoy! There is no permission to duplicate these photos in any means without my express permission.
It’s Saturday morning and we’re sitting around talking about our cadaver lab experiences. What else do you do on a Saturday?! My husband had this experience in medical school.

Lately, I need to be reading an enjoyable book. It provides me a few minutes of downtime during busy days and a few minutes to wind down at the end of the day, as well. I’ve always been a reader but during the years I had a demanding career as well as the time we…
Over the five years during which my son has been a grad student in Ames, Iowa, we have attended many theater performances together. It has become somewhat of a tradition for us, a delayed birthday treat for him that I can also take part in each year. We both enjoy theater, especially musical theater, and…
We had some delicious food on our trip to Maui – namely some delicious fresh fish which we knew we could find and enjoy. Mahi-mahi, salmon, and others were part of our fish tacos, fish and chips, and ahi-seared preparations. We also enjoyed fresh Maui Gold pineapple several times during the week, as well as…
