Game On!

Her husband absolutely loved watching sports on TV and he ALWAYS had on one game or another.

Moon in Clouds January 23, 2024

The moon was directly overhead where she was wintering in Southwest Florida. It looked full, had a gorgeous lunar halo, and she could see a distinctive heart shape in the clouds so she grabbed her phone to take a photo to share with her friend in Colorado.

For some time we’d been clearing out and cleaning my dad’s house following his death. One day the hot water heater gave out. While we knew it needed to be replaced, it was not on our list of things to do that day. Dad’s old green pickup truck was filled to the brim with things […]

My father always wore a wristwatch and glanced at it often. He was always on time. When he retired, his company gifted him with a clock. For a good long time, it took a rightful place for prominent display.

My husband and I were a bit traumatized after witnessing an horrific incident at a bridge close to where we’re camping in Santa Cruz, as we were walking back from the beach.
