Lately, I have been suffering from a lack of confidence. Yes, this week has been better than last. Still, overall, I feel every little knick that chips away at my confidence. It is not related to only one area of my life, but filters across many. Admittedly, I have not felt this unsure of myself…
If we are lucky to live long enough, all of us will go through transitional periods in our lives. We might not like them all, but they’ll be there, nonetheless. My husband and I, as well as some of our friends, are starting the transition to the stage of retirement. Have you worked all your…
Since we enjoyed our experience with a Triple D diner in Washington D.C. during June at the Carving Board, we decided to try and find another restaurant on our trip to Banff that had been featured on the Food Network’s show, Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Before we left home, I started this search online but…
After spending a week hiking in the Canadian Rockies, I feel primed to keep at it. So, last night I went hiking with my oldest son who is extending his break between his Master’s and PhD programs. He studied up until mid-July, took his test, and now is on hiatus for an additional week beyond…

We’ve been very lucky to visit some places in the world with very beautiful clear turquoise blue water. Until this week, Bermuda held the place in my heart that had the bluest, most clear, and beautiful water. I have to admit there are sentimental reasons for these feelings too. I’ve been to Bermuda three times…
My husband and I have always lovingly cared for our yards. From a tiny condo outside Baltimore Maryland to the current 3 acre spread, our yard eventually takes on a personality unique to us. This last yard took some getting used to and really hasn’t acquired the “us” factor until the last five or so…
I found something today I was not looking for (and did not realize it was missing until the day unfolded.) This is my story of finding an essential piece that’s been missing from my life. A sense of goodwill and peace greeted me as soon as I stepped onto the land. Wide scenes of verdant…
A Child’s Memory I don’t know about you, but I love all this stuff about space. There’s been many stories in the news lately due the the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. I was five. I remember being glued to the television set to watch something that seemed so incredible it was…
