That damn groundhog would not last fifteen minutes around here and why do we let a rodent living two states away decide when winter is over? They are sneaky fat over-sized squirrels that wait until you are not looking and walk right into your garden and pig out until you come home. Then off they…

Enough. I suspect that if you stay on Facebook long enough, you have screamed that or much worse. For me it was very entertaining. New, funny and it let me reconnect with folks from years ago. Then the election came. Like a swarm of locusts flying into Egypt,devouring everything. Manners, honesty, friendships. And still people…

Nothing can prepare you for the Grand Canyon. Not the size, not the beauty or the realization that even though you are there, looking at all this with your own eyes, it looks like a picture. One last thing before I leave you with some of the pictures. The altitude is high here and we…

One thing that I did not realize about traveling and seeing all that our country has to offer is that everything cost money. Everything requires an entrance fee. By the time we paid to get into Yellowstone and then paid again to see the Grand Tetons, after paying for all the other parks we had…

Glacier  National Park is without a doubt, one of the most beautiful places in the  United States. We arrived there a few days after they had opened the pass atop Glacier Mountain and even thought the snow had been cleared off the road, it was snowing on the day we made the ride to the…

Looking back, I can now explain many of those blank stares and angry looks I have been getting for years. Mansplaining. In my sheltered world,…

I have been a part of two demonstrations in my life. In both cases the people around me were polite and well behaved. One lasted for two days and one of my daughters also wanted to participate. The local newspaper took pictures and she is the subject of one of the photos. We got to…

This title is misleading because I am the one who just bought two new pair of jeans. last year I bought a  pair of big jeans knowing that I needed them just to hold me over until I could take a few pounds off. Well, one year later has brought me to a crossroad in my clothing…

I'm not sure where this is going so believe me when I tell you that I am just as surprised as you are. Personally, I hope I don't say "time will tell" because looking back over some of my earlier posts, that one appears to be a personal favorite. It is Inauguration week for all…
