Poetry Friday: Sharing My One Little Word (OLW) & A Poem About It
This year, my one little word found me, instead of me finding it. I’ve not always participated in the choosing of one word to guide our year, but I found that I didn’t have a choice this year. My word is ENOUGH. If you look up that word in the dictionary, you’ll find it has…
Trials and Tribulations of Travel Today
Our week in the Caribbean was fabulous, with the exception of a few minor hiccups. I’m a planner and a perfectionist. But recently, when it comes to trip planning, I’m a little less obsessive than I used to be. And, I know the reason. It is because our sons are grown and have flown the…

And I’ve noticed it in the most unlikely of places: nature groups! I’m an environmental educator, formally trained with a master’s degree in natural…
Puzzles: A Great Way to Pass Time in the Winter
Here in the upper Midwest, the winter can seem endless. Gray skies, wind, snow, and sometimes sub-zero temperatures are common. Even for someone with a lot of hobbies like me, one needs something to pass the time. We’ve found that jigsaw puzzles are a great way to do just that! Luckily, we have a large…
Poetry Friday: Back from Vacation with An Ode to St.John
We returned to the gray skies of Minneapolis yesterday, where I noticed upon leaving the airport that everything was gray – not just the skies! The buildings, the roads, the bark on the trees – even the State Capitol building – were all gray. My husband and I were returning from a week in the…
