Today, I set out to write a shorter post. I know most of my posts are too long for the Slice of Life Challenge – even though there is no posted minimum or maximum length. I found this to be true from the past two years’ experience. I’ve noted that the posts of others are…
Since we are supposed to be sharing a “slice” from our lives, I thought I would write about a very recent experience we’ve had with our dog, Molly. Molly is a 9-month old Yellow Labrador Retriever. We got her at the end of August and her first birthday will be at the end of May. …
My Carpenter album collection is something I am not sure I’ll ever part with. Right now, it is at our cabin where we have a Crosby LP Album player, along with some other 1970’s pop music albums. It’s not a collection that I’ve added to over the years, or even played each year over the…
Over the last four days, I’ve been in a hospital environment three times, on three different days. The first was emergent.

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…
As I have a student who will be graduating from high school this spring, I am interested in knowing the thoughts of others regarding the direction students will be headed after their graduation in 2020.
