“Come sit with me and have a cup of tea.” I was thinking about my mother the other day and how much I actually miss her since she passed away. The words above were her signal she had something to talk about and as I grew into an adult I would ask her to make tea so we could sit…
The things I have learned or already knew or maybe should have know I have been stuck in the house for quite a while during the time of SARS-Cov-2. While not totally true, my husband being the man he is, understands that walks around my little community are not quite enough. He takes me for a drive-through coffee and then…
Day Whatever (3/30/2020) It seems like I have been stuck at home FOREVER. I started to self isolate two weeks before it became official. So now it’s been forever. They say the quarantine, shelter at home, would be over in like two days but it has been extended for another month. Guess one cannot predict the ways of a new…
Day 3 ( 3/21/20) I cough. A lot. I have emphysema. It makes me cough. A lot. One of the reasons I stayed home before there was even an order to do so, was because I cough. I didn’t want folks to think I was out and about spreading disease. I went to a Just Dance class and had to…
Day 2 (3/20119) Day 2(3/20/20) Yesterday was the first day of spring. I forgot about it until later in the day. When I remembered I got a bit melancholy. It should have been Baseball Season.

Day 1 Last night, the County I live in sent out text messages, emails and phone calls informing us that we are to join the rest of our state and most of the other states in the United States in a shelter in place. This is in response to the Sars-CoV-2 virus. This particular virus is part of the Coronavirus…
Article from the Atlantic by Marina Koren I read an article about a Mars Mission simulation that has been going on on the slope of the Mauna Loa Volcano in Hawaii. It is done there because, not only is the volcano huge, but there is a lot of red and black rocks and can be rather isolated. The habitat holds…
I don’t steal. Even if I forget to scan something I go back and either give it to the clerk or if it is something I need I scan and pay for it. I never feel like I “got away with something” and by paying for it, I not only help keep pricing down, I sleep good at night. I…
I recently showed some of my loomed seed bead art at a local art show. I was told bout it and invited while I was doing the craft fair in town. I was rather excited and, frankly quite nervous about doing an art show. I had just started to get used to the idea of my stuff being art and…
RIDE ON THE ROGUE RIVER On our recent annual Anniversary trip we decided to knock off a bucket list item of my husbands. That was to go on a jet boat white water ride up in Oregon. Ever since he was a young man, the Hubs has wanted to go. He heard about it from a customer in his Dad’s…
