Family

There's a wall in my basement coffee/dessert bar adorned by these images.  Each one represents a family member by their favourite sweet.

The lineup is by age, oldest to youngest. My son doesn't know about the wall of sweets; he's never seen it.

He hasn't seen the renovated kitchen, the rose garden, or the back deck.

And we haven't seen him.

Not since 2012 when he estranged himself from us.

I miss him.

Packing For The Trip

 I am getting organized for a trip to Portugal.


It's been a while since this girl has been on vacation. I'm looking forward to being by the ocean and eating fresh sea food.

We are travelling with two other couples, so it should be fun. I need some laughs.

See you when I get back!

I'm A Work In Progress

Well, I won't lie, losing my best friend, Ben, last summer has really kicked my ass. I haven't found my 'footing' yet, but gardening has kept my head above water at least.


I'm not sure if I will find a new friend, but I am giving fostering some serious thought.

Can't focus on painting, reading or much of anything other than gardening and being outdoors.

What are you up to? 

Hope life is treating you well,

 Hello! Is anybody out there?

I know I've been absent (more absent than usual) but I'm okay.

Life goes on . . . and on ;) And we push forward. 

A memory of happier days.

Hope you're well,

I'm Weary

Hey all,

I was thinking about you and wondering how you go through your daily round . . .

I must say I'm at a loss these days to make heads nor tails of ANYTHING.

I've recently taken on a part-time retail job and that has been a lesson in itself.  Wish the 'universe' would just stop throwing lessons my way; enough already. 

I'm weary. I just want to BE.

Is this making any sense to any of you? I figure if I feel this way, maybe someone out there does too. 

Let's talk, let's vent. 

Post anonymously if you need to.

I'll be here.
