Being Thankful
Over the last couple weeks my life (along with everyone else’s on the planet) has changed. Yet there is still much to be grateful for. Looking outside the neighbors’s wisteria is in full bloom,...
St Patrick’s Day
Today everyone sees and wears green. According to folklore if you wear green leprechauns can’t see you and therefore can’t pinch you. I saw a few posts on FB that with social distancing, even i...
Friday the 13th
Covid-19. Schools have extended spring break, libraries are closed, my piano teacher is now doing lessons online, choir practice has been placed on hold for an undetermined amount of time, event...
Doctor Office
Most of the day was spent sitting in the retina specialists office. This is ordeal can take 3 or more hours. It is usually a bit amusing and sometimes entertaining. First you wait in the outer...
Texas Independence Day
March 2, 1836 the day Texas officially declared independence from Mexico and created the Republic of Texas. Texans are proud of their state. They can give you a multitude of reasons why anythin...
Leap Year
Yesterday I got “corrective massage”. I’ve had a lot of massages in my life but never one labeled as “corrective”. My chiropractor recommended it. I filled out 6 pages of consent and intake fo...
Crazy Dog, Friend & Cactus
Earlier in the week we had some workers over who were going to be in and out. We decided to medicate our very friendly 2 big dogs. We have both a sedative and anti-anxiety med for Aine. We dec...
Tell me to get a life
The theme for today’s unsolicited text messages (3) and voicemails (2) have been inquiring if I was interested in selling my property. 2 people called me Maria, 3 of them the first word was “hey...
Making Progress
Phil turned 73 yesterday. He was subdued, didn’t want supper or birthday cake. He did take my stepdad out for lunch, so I’m not too concerned. I got him a set of stained glass bookends that li...
Be with me God!
What a week this has been. The desire to journal has been present but the inability to do so was more mental than physical. Valentines Day was nice. Phil had ordered one of those prepackaged “rom...
Journal Entry Update
Over the weekend my knee became more and more tender. The last day in Sedona I didn’t see a step and took a tumble. Even though I was able to catch myself on the way down I twisted my knee. It...
Coming Home
The last couple days in Sedona was wonderful. Lisa and I got a massage. In the last 40 years, I have had a number of massages. However, this was the best massage I have ever had. It was not j...
Groundhog Day
Dream: I was at the airport getting ready to board a plane. I realized I left my luggage at home but didn’t have time to go get it and get back in time. On the way to the gate I discovered I ...
Proper English Tea Party
This afternoon we all gathered at Rogers just outside of Sedona for a “Proper English Tea”. He was insistent that we be on time so the tea would not get cold. Earlier in the day I had checked t...
The Grand Canyon
One could classify last night as an adult slumber party. We talked and laughed until the wee hours of the morning. Every time one of us said we need to get to bed, we all agreed, then kept on ...
Spiritual Spa Day
This morning started out with a session with my spiritual advisor. Even before I saw Michael I felt emotional. With each prior session I had with him my life changed. Sometimes dramatically, s...
Sedona bound
It is a 3 hour drive from my house to Lisa’s , if the traffic Gods are smiling upon us. We had planned on meeting each other at the gate but Lisa and I arrived probably within 3-4 minutes of eac...
Packing Light
“All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go....” Well, the bags are still in storage. But I have little piles of clothes and things here and there that are ready to go into a suitcase. I’m going t...
Why Etaine? You ask....
Good question.. Etaine is the name of our alpha dog. Taken to a dog park, you call Etaine and no other dog has that name. This is a 9 year old bossy Australian Cattle Dog (blue heeler). Hubb...
Learning Curve
As with anything there is a learning curve. Last night I attempted to use this for the first time. Something didn’t go as planned because my entry vanished. So technically this is entry #2. ...
