Marriage Musings
Reading Time: 4 minutesWe made the road trip to Wisconsin, as I mentioned, to attend two family weddings. The first one is now behind us. It was a beautiful, contemporary event. The groom is a favorite nephew of ours, extraordinarily intelligent, a caring, witty fellow who’s got his head screwed on as straight as any… Read more

Buc-ee’s Review
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI promised to let you know how our first trip to a Buc-ee’s turned out. I loved it! It reminded me of Ozarkland (my last career before retirement) on steriods, although Ozarkland doesn’t sell fuel. Buc-ee’s is H.U.G.E. It’s apparently known for brisket so we bought sandwiches. I thought they were… Read more

The water and the air were calm and warm, nearly identical in temperature, which means the water wasn’t too cold and the air wasn’t too hot. My friends and I spent hours just floating, completely without effort. The feeling… Read more

Summer of Love
Reading Time: 4 minutesI see references to “Summer of Love” all over the internet these days. No clue why. One reference suggested the Summer of Love happened the year of Woodstock, 1969. That made sense, but a quick internet search proved that information to be untrue. Too bad, because 1969 was the summer I met… Read more

My Florida Pet
Reading Time: < 1 minuteMeet Cyan the Fish, whom I call Annie. She’s our Florida pet, the only kind of pet we’ll ever have in our home. Annie was gifted to me by Randy’s sister, Lynn, who also happens to be my best friend, and knows me very well. Read more

Learning to Clean Again
Reading Time: 4 minutesHate. It’s such an ugly word, isn’t it? With nasty connotations. The word is thrown around carelessly regarding lots of situations that certainly don’t call for the viciousness in which it’s used. If you know me well, you know I’m careful about using the word hate. There are few things that warrant… Read more
