I had intended to get to my son’s place mid-afternoon and almost made it. That was in spite of the fact that church lasted longer than usual. I’d thought about leaving before the last song (#214 in the Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal, “We Have This Hope”). The person at the piano isn’t used to playing often [...]

I’m not telling secrets. He’s proud of the fact that he’s lived 31 years. And merm LIVES. Whatever he does, he goes at it 110%. He’s no wuss. He could put me to shame in a heartbeat. And now he’s put in 31 years of heartbeats. Happy birthday! My DD made him a chocolate cheesecake [...]

Our entertainment was mostly walking around the different places we went but we did ride the tram from the mountainside to the mountaintop after dark. The lights were beautiful and my DH took some long exposures that traced them on the film in patterns only possible with the swaying of the car. We also went [...]

It was the spring of 1972 and we put the Honda to good use going to the college town to make arrangements for what seemed to be the rest of our lives. Not really, but when you’re relatively young and in love, it can appear that way. We had looked at trailers and settled on [...]

I posted this prematurely last Monday night then took it down until it would be more appropriate. The store was open on Tuesday and Wednesday so they could sell all the stock they could. I went by on Thursday to try to get some canned beans and corn for the community kitchen but there was [...]

I woke before 4 this morning and haven’t been back to sleep yet. This won’t be long and/or terribly detailed. I’m on my way to bed soon. My peach trees (volunteer) are blooming out in spite of the fact that I keep wishing they wouldn’t. There was frost on the car both yesterday and today [...]

I was living where I was associated with former schoolmates who were divorced from their wives. There were a couple of fellows in the neighborhood who asked me out and I went a few times. I couldn’t see a future with either of them so it didn’t go anywhere. I enjoyed the company of males [...]

At age 20, I became the parent of a beautiful baby boy. There were complications that kept me in the hospital for eleven days but my mother stood by me. My husband was living in another state and I was to join him after I was out and recovered from the ordeal. I was nursing [...]

I’ve been asked many times why I decided to become a raw vegan. It certainly wasn’t something I did lightly or on a whim. The fact that it took 61 years of living on Planet Earth to even begin transitioning should tell you something. I’ve written about my life in bits and pieces throughout my [...]
