This post by Pioneer Woman caught my fancy considering I seem to perennially live my life in introspection and reliving the past. I couldn’t resist responding to her. When I wanted to leave a comment, I saw there were thousands before me and figured I’d make a post of it instead. So Ree, not sure […]
Reaching home unusually early last evening, I stood by the stove fixing dinner and forced him to switch the TV off and look at my laptop for some information I needed. Our kitchen and family room faces the west at an angle and we have a window in the vaulted ceiling that streams the room […]
Late morning yesterday we received notice of a 8:00 AM learning session Friday. Groaning inwardly I took a quick look at the agenda. It was for a tool we use extensively at work and I thought we knew everything there was to it. The list of topics did not cover anything new except for one […]
Early yesterday morning I heard from my friend of two years that she had been let go. It took me more than a minute to understand what she was saying. The first question that crossed my mind was “Why?”

It isn’t often that I get messages from people who read my blog. OK, lets make […]
