Today I am including a favorite read from The Daily Word, a treat we enjoy each morning with our coffee; and an article my friend Tom posted on Facebook from the Daily Stoic. I believe both offer situations we can relate to and hopefully overcome with a touch of humor. From the Daily Stoic – […]
I have to fess up, yesterday (April 4, 2021) when the outside temperature soared to 96 degrees and the inside temperature was hovering around 82, I made an executive decision. I flipped the thermostat from Heat to Cool; clicked the Auto button on the fan to the On position and uttered a sigh of […]
There has been a vacant parking space in our driveway where our motorhome used to sit. That empty space has been a constant reminder that we are getting older and giving up things we’ve always loved. When we sold our motorhome in October of 2020 we thought that was the end of our […]
Here is a funny story or a nightmare depending on your point of view. An Alaska woman was injured last Saturday after being wounded on the bottom by a black bear while using an outhouse. Shannon Stevens, of Haines, was involved in the accident on a weekend trip to Chilkat Lake with her brother and […]
I assume, like most couples, Monty and I have our separate duties around the house. He is the fearless leader of all things mechanical, I do the other stuff. Conversation yesterday at our house: Monty: My underwear drawer is sort of empty, there are no socks or shorts. I looked in the hamper and it’s […]

I know it’s a rhetorical question. ‘Did you find everything OK?’ If you are like me, the answer is sure, even if I couldn’t find the capers, I say sure, after all I’ll find them next trip. I go to the grocery store once a week, even though capers come in a tiny jar I’m […]
Like Raj on The Big Bang, Monty has a new heartthrob, her name is Siri and thank goodness her sultry voice only resides on the phone. Siri won’t even talk to me, as confident as I sound when I address her she simply ignores me. Monty, on the other hand, can ask Siri […]
Last week we enjoyed a romantic candle lit dinner. No special occasion, it wasn’t planned, just sort of spontaneous, Ok the power went out, but still. I was busy warming up New’s Eve leftovers when the lights flickered, hmmm that’s odd. No big deal, then a longer S.O.S. sort of thing. Hmmm, do we […]
