I’m afraid it’s time for me to stop blogging. This will be my last post. I’ve tried to keep up with blogging since we’ve left home, but it isn’t working for me. I would probably be able to handle it if I didn’t have such OCD behavior – if I could just open this, [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

Remember to say "Thank you" today – not only for what you do have – but for what you DON’T have!

Still the same…

I was sitting here tonight, thinking about what I’d be doing if I was at home, to prepare for Thanksgiving. You all know the drill: shopping, cooking as many things before time as you can, baking pies, getting out the largest platters, bowls, etc. to make sure they’re clean, bringing the baby chair down [...]

Winter at Home

The last couple of days, T and I have been suffering from a case of home-sickness. We left our home in Washington on the 17th of October, and now that we are settled here in the motor home in Arizona, at our winter home, we are missing our real home!
It isn’t that we don’t love [...]

We feel badly that she can’t go outside, as she’s always been [...]

I have been sitting here wondering why I could find something to say when I was posting about my [...]

Happy Anniversary

Today is Cindra’s (my daughter) and Tom’s wedding anniversary. Please go wish them a happy anniversary!
I was remembering their wedding this morning, and how touched I was by it. They married in a large, glass walled house on the beach, with the ocean in the background. Cindra and Tom had rented this large, [...]

Cotton Fields and Cactus – it’s my Winter Home

When I started seeing the cotton fields and the Saguaros, I knew we’d arrived. Here we are in Arizona. This will be our home for the next five months. I  love it here, and it feels like coming home. Not that I’d ever want to give up our place on the hill, or miss my [...]
