How Do You Define It?
Happiness. How do you define it? Not in a generic way, but a personal way. A very personal way.
What does or would it take for you to feel truly happy. Is happiness contentment? Fulfillment? Acceptance? Validation? Professional success? Family success? Popularity? Lots of money? [...]
A Rescue and Discoveries
When I was growing up we had neighbors on both sides, across the street, down the street and on the NEXT street who were there forever. They all had kids and we all grew up together. It was really wonderful. You don’t find that much anymore. We’re lucky enough, though, to [...]

Bits and Pieces
I have a few things on my mind, so let’s get right to it, shall we?
First of all, the annual monsoonal flow has arrived and dumped about three or four inches of rain on us last night. It was AWESOME! We had two big storms about five hours apart. It [...]

Idiot Mountain Dwellers
I have a real problem with the way things are handled out here in the Wild, Wild West with regard to wildlife that wander into populated areas. Let’s not forget that WE are the ones who intruded on THEIR environment because it’s so beautiful and wonderful and we just had to be/live/visit there. [...]

Funny Frustrations
It was a frustrating day yesterday, but kind of in a funny way. Everything was perfectly “normal” around here until it came time to go run a couple errands. I got outside and dug inside my purse for my keys and came up empty. I knew immediately what had happened. Hubs [...]

The Ugly Face of Racism
By now most, if not all of us, have seen and/or heard about this New Yorker caricature cover:
I think what bothers me the most is the ugly face of racism in America making itself so loudly known. I thought perhaps this time it would be different. How stupid of me. When Barack [...]
A Mother’s Right to Brag
My daughter and her best friends Tesla and Zach went out of town today to have a little fun and decided to take some pictures with their phones. She sent them to me and I, of course, was immediately compelled to share them with you. It’s a mother’s right to brag, [...]

Playground Fun
Last month we went to the playground with my son, Ryan, and Brayden. They live thirty minutes from us, so we made an afternoon of it and had a picnic. It was SO much fun! Here are a few of the pictures I took that day. Hope you enjoy them.
