Today’s been busy. Although I really did not have time this morning, I took to the yard to photograph the stunning scenery brought about by a very cold night and high humidity in the air. (I know this seems like an oxymoron and maybe, it is!) After waking around 6:30, having breakfast and cuddling with…

The Science of February
There are several things that I really like about the month of February and they do not have anything at all to do with Valentine’s Day! First, it is a short month. Even with leap year this year, it is still much shorter than January. This means fewer days of anticipated cold, snow, and general…
Staying Healthy
Today, I am inspired to write a short post about staying healthy. As I have written before, staying healthy has become more of a priority for me as a woman of 50, plus. Going to the YMCA is becoming a regular routine. I actually find myself looking forward to going! I think that part of…

Planned Obsolescence vs. Schlumbergera
Today, when I considered what to write about I was torn between planned obsolescence and Schlumbergera. What?! Huh? I understand that both of these topics might look over the top, and, at least one of them is. Planned Obsolescence has been on my mind for over a month when I noticed that we could not…
Aging Parents & Medical Limbo
Within 18 hours of my arrival “home” to visit my parents this week, we made three visits to the local emergency room with my Dad! I had planned a trip back to New York to visit my parents, who are both in their early 80’s, living in their own home. At the time the trip…
A Walk in the Northwoods
