It’s a bit of a whining day, Folks. I’m not settling in to going back to work very well. I feel like I can’t catch my breath and as if I’m even more unprepared and harried than I’ve been. We were late for Beauty’s soccer game today, thinking we had to leave the house at noon, for a match that … Read More
I’m Home
I’m home, Journeyers, literally and figuratively. We’ve spent a fair amount of time on the road since last fall, following our three children to and fro.

Long before the idea of Happy Happens sprouted in my mind, I received great joy from seeing these spring blooms during my daily commute. Honestly, I’d round the bend in the highway, and my heart would soar. Every. Single. Time. One day I decided I wanted to bring this kind of pleasure to my own yard. I phoned the … Read More
The Kindness of Friends
Last Friday I had surgery to remove my appendix, right ovary and tube. Thursday evening, one of my pals showed up at my doorstep with Friday’s dinner.
