I’ve had a long desire to be published. And by long, I mean that it’s been a life-long dream. I remember writing when I was a new nurse practitioner and diagnosed a teen with an ovarian tumor. I tried writing about that. I remember writing my master’s thesis for Child Health – on sibling preparation…
On most Tuesdays, I write what’s on my mind, not necessarily a “slice of life” despite posting to the forum. But, today I have a real slice of life! We are moving – in less than eight weeks! This has been planned but is happening slightly faster than we thought it would. Our primary house…
Whew! Where did the week go?! Last week flew I suppose due to our being very busy. On Tuesday I drove my new jewelry inventory to the gallery in Iowa where I’ve been a consignor for the last eight years. I took a friend with me and we had lunch out in Prairie du Chein…

Today, I took a friend with me to deliver my handmade jewelry to the gallery in Iowa that’s carried it for the last eight summers. It’s usually about a 72-mile drive that takes an hour and a half if you go down the Great River Road on the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi River, otherwise…
I decided after our Christmas ham was largely left uneaten after Christmas dinner that hams are not a great choice for our small family. Thus, when I planned our Easter dinner, I told my husband and our one son who was able to come home that we’d be having my manicotti instead. Manicotti is a…
Today is Silent Sundy, it is a day when I post my own photographs on a theme of my choosing. Thanks for stopping by!
