My days have suddenly become free, which has created a small dilemma. How shall I fill my time? For today, should I finish painting the living room, work on my novel, finish the artwork on my Christmas cards, shampoo the carpets, dive into the planning of my garden, or go shopping for the lumber for...

The Maiming of Mufasa, or The Day My Harley Was Run Over
Mufasa, most would agree, was Disney's King, the laid-back, easy-going-until-you-messed-with-him-or-his-family, Lion King. I named my first motorcycle (a beautiful, Luxury Blue, Harley Davidson 1200 Custom Sportster), after Mufasa. I thought the name suited him. He was easy going but I never forgot the power he exhibited. This was my very first motorcycle and most days... Continue Reading →
Listening to Metallica
Remember when CDs went everywhere with you? Yes, I'm that old. Well, I lost my CD music case the very day I was to take an almost 600 mile, one-way, road trip. I was bummed! I had looked forward to Janis, Celine, Elton John, Neil Diamond, and for the record, yes, I also had ABBA,... Continue Reading →
Tornados, Whirlwinds, and Yes, Let’s Add a Snake
We have been under so many weather watches in the past couple of weeks - the big four: hail, winds, rain, & tornados! Yesterday was supposed to be yet another, but it totally bypassed us to the north, hitting several Oklahoma towns with its share of drama. I've had a different sort of whirlwind within...

Oregon Seagulls
When my youngest was pre-teen, we took an RV trip, just him and me, down the Oregon coast. We had some left-over bread that we thought would be a nice treat for the few seagulls we saw soaring so gracefully along the ocean breezes. We pulled over at a coastline rest area and after gathering... Continue Reading →
The Ultimate Sense of Peace – Death?
I dream a lot; I've said this so many times over the years, but today it bears repeating. This past year I had a dream about the ultimate sense of peace, an enveloping, calm, stillness that padded me in a peace that I have never experienced in real life, ever. I dreamed I was in...

At the Hairdresser’s (not really)
Hubbin is coloring my hair at home - for the record, he does a great job at applying color, and I'm reacting as if he's my hairdresser, one I've not seen in ages. "So, here's what's been going on since the last time I sat in your chair," I remark. He laughs but I'm more... Continue Reading →
Another Rainy Day in Oklahoma
Yesterday morning it rained and Hubbin brought me my first cup of the day, before I opened my second eye; I cannot remember the last time I've had that luxury. This will add to the list of just why I love rainy days, "coffee in bed" is now on my list. This morning I'm reflecting... Continue Reading →
Daily Prompt 2050-The furthest I’ve ever traveled from home: I went to Hell
I went to Hell in 1999. It gives new meaning to me about partying like it was 1999! I can tell you, yes it was hot, I can also tell you there was nothing fancy about the journey - no Grim Reaper, no picture of Death. Think rattly old bus with windows that didn't stay... Continue Reading →
A Pig Rescue
I help out. It's not something I brag about; it is just who I am. This morning I was scrolling through FB and saw that my former boss had posted yet another picture of an animal that needed a forever home, which reminded me of the time she had found a small pig online that... Continue Reading →
