The average nothing fancy 3/2 bedroom townhouse in our neighborhood goes for about 1.5 million dollars these days, and I swear not a single house that we have lived in on this peninsula has ever had air conditioning. We are right on the San Francisco Bay and 99% of the time it is not necessary…

Two little words that sparked Terror
I am writing this late Sunday night. I have not been able to think straight for the past few days. This man in this picture is my reason for living. He is very far away at college and I am very proud of how he has adapted to his new life and his excellent grades…
Postcards from the edge
So I turned some of our vacation photos into a fabric pattern for a vintage postcard competition at Spoonflower.com. I added various filters to my photos until I got the desired effect of making them look like old fashioned postcards. I was very happy with the final result. I ordered some fabric so I can…
One line and I am fried
So this is not going to be very long. It is 2:30am and I cannot eat. For the past few weeks, I have been reigning in the anxiety monster. The trip was one of the best weeks I have had in a long time with the exception of that last flight. That terrified all-consuming angst…
Darn it….again.
My apologies for the photo. Not that enthralling and a little out of focus….just like me right now. The boy is back in New York and started his new semester today and I miss him already. I miss the singing. I have been cleaning out my closet and selling all of my old designer purses…
So let us wrap this up
This will kind of wrap up our trip. It is probably going to be more pictorial than newsy. The whole trip was super. I mentioned the extremes in weather but we never expected the amount of snow and snowfall that was almost white out. One of our day trips included us going to Teton village…
Nothing Rusty about this Parrot
This is not a paid endorsement and I am just reporting on my own experiences at this fantastic Lodge. We usually really research the reviews of a place before we make a trip. Lovie found this little place on Trip advisor and I think Yelp. We went online and booked the Owner’s suite for our…
Moving Mountains…Nope Moved by Mountains
Darn, I have not written in ages. So long that our vacation to Jackson Hole, Wyoming is now in the rearview mirror. Today is our 20th wedding anniversary. Twenty of the happiest years of my life. I am so lucky to have this wonderful man by my side. We just returned from an excellent 5-day…
Weight a minute, You did what?
I have not written in a while. Not sure why but I have been busy recording in my personal private journal and so I have not had the stamina…mentally to do this as well. I have been home most of the week. I have been at home most of the weekend. I did go to…
