Candle, Rock, Feather
Awhile back, I was at a local shopping center and noticed something I hadn’t really seen before. It wasn’t special, just a small runoff area between two buildings, ground lined with fake cobblestones to guide the water and debris out … Continue reading
Ghost Towns and Ghosting
Our last stop in Alaska was to Skagway, a tiny town heavily influenced by the gold rush. The tour we took there was the Ghosts and Goodtime Girls Walking Tour hosted by the Red Onion Saloon. This was another small … Continue reading
SC: Favorite Photos of Vacation
I know I haven’t finished posting my trip stuff yet, but I’m going to take a moment to highlight my favorite photos of the trip for today’s Sunday Coffee. Somehow, I managed to choose 17 photos – out of the … Continue reading

May 2023 in Review
May can pretty much be divided into pre-vacation and vacation, an even split down the middle. As such, I had very few of my traditional May PTSD issues. There were enough near the beginning to get me to re-listen to … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – And we’re back!
Obviously this photo isn’t from today, but it was too good not to use! We are back from our week-long adventure to Alaska, and I’m in the process of unpacking and catching up from my week away. I have so … Continue reading
Mother’s Day: A Twist
For the last few years, I’ve struggled with Mother’s Day as the pandemic first trapped everyone indoors and then all my kids started to leave home. Doesn’t help that the holiday falls smack in the middle of the most difficult … Continue reading
