School’s back in session!
In with a whimper, out with a bang
In years to come, we'll probably refer to the summer of 2009 as the "summer that wasn't". I don't remember when we've had so much disappointing weather. Mostly cool and rainy... followed by more cool and rainy. I think I wore shorts twice, and when I went shopping for...
What do you wish to begin?
When I read Jamie’s prompt for Wishcasting Wednesday (what do you wish to begin), I thought… oh my! That’s an easy one! There are so many things I want to begin!The truth is, I’m a little addicted to change. I get restless if things stay static too long. I need...
Because it calls me
If I can, I try to make a pilgrimage to my dad's grave about once a year or so. (You can see a video of last year's pilgrimage here.) For the past month, I've been feeling a real longing to make the trek across the prairie, so I did it yesterday.Those of you who knew...

What doors do you wish to open?
I’m feeling a little vulnerable today – a little over-tired from tossing and turning (and not enough sleeping) last night, and a little discouraged about not being able to move into the next phase of my life as quickly as I’d like to (yes, I’m back at work and the...
End of the week – a wrap up
Just a few random things as the week draws to a close (or the next week opens, depending on where you place Sunday).- It's been a lovely, happy week, full of excitement over the new site, partying with friends, and relaxing vacation time with the family.- I go back to...
