Let’s go for a walk
Let’s go for a walk. I cannot begin to put a number on the amount of times that I’ve heard that request put forth by various members of my family. From childhood until now, that has been a reoccurring request. From grandparents who walked a few miles a day, to family in Louisiana wanting to…
Morning has broken
Good morning. And it is so good. I love mornings. I am one of THOSE people. The ones that snap awake before the sun even begins to rise. The ones who are alert and functional immediately upon opening our eyes. I know, we are obnoxious to those of you who prefer to sleep and not…
False Pride and the comeuppance of the Croquembouche
I guess I will start off by saying hello again. I haven’t written much lately and I think that my last post took a lot out of me. I’d say 2020 has been quite the year, but that’s more than a bit of an understatement, isn’t it? I’m back, and trying to figure out how…

Jessie, weeds and all.
Hi. Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. I’m pretty glad to be here, myself.
