Sit! Heel! Diet! Exercise!
Reading Time: 4 minutes Randy and I both had doctor appointments last week for physicals. We got our fasting blood draw lab results and some future guidance for good health. Different doctors, same advice: diet and exercise. As I thought about it, I realized that when doctors talk to you like they talked to us,… Read more

Our High Places
Reading Time: < 1 minute I’ve never before said this publicly, but God knows how proud I am of my husband Randy, and the effort he’s made in starting and maintaining his website, Our High Places. Years ago Randy had a conversation with a friend who told him that she kept a journal of all… Read more

About That Bubble
Reading Time: 4 minutes In my short post explaining why we decided to take our very first cruise, I said people have always been the reason we’ve never taken one before…the anticipation of so many people in so little space. That turned out to be true. Cruising, at least the kind we did, involves lots… Read more

Swimming Pigs
Reading Time: < 1 minute Imagine (if you can) that one of your dream vacations is to visit the Bahamas, mainly to have the Swimming Pigs experience. OK, neither can I imagine that.

What Matters Most
Reading Time: 4 minutes There’s a 2007 film starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman called Bucket List. I’d recommend seeing it for a couple different reasons. It’s laugh-out-loud funny, jerks a few tears, and in the end is plenty thought provoking. Not long after I originally saw it, I was diagnosed (in January 2008) with… Read more

Avatar 2 3D Movie Review
Reading Time: < 1 minute My best friend, Lynn (Randy’s sister) and I watched the first Avatar a few days ago to prepare us to see the sequel in 3D this week. Since it’s been 13 years between Avatar and Avatar 2, and because I’m not a movie buff, I remembered almost nothing of the… Read more

Overcoming Life’s Flotsam & Jetsam
Reading Time: 4 minutes I mentioned in my Shorts post on Friday how much I like New Year’s Day. It’s so full of possibilities. To be fair, every day can be full of possibilities. But on any given day we’re usually just moseying along existing from waking to sleeping. As we go through the motions… Read more
