DD and I went outside to see who was flying over. It was a big plane (for us) and beautiful. The colors on it were shades of brown including chocolate—unusual. It flew over, came around, flew back around and prepared to land. It was obvious it was on a final approach. As it touched down, [...]

The Raw Vegan: Part XXXI, In Over Our Heads
June 5, 2008
The Raw Vegan: Part XXX, Misplaced Trust
June 3, 2008
My mother brought us all up to respect authority and along with that came trust. When I was contacted about being “interviewed”, it didn’t occur to me that I should at least have another adult present. A lawyer to advise me would have been appropriate. The thought never crossed my mind. In my world, if [...]
The Raw Vegan: Part XXIX, Now What?
May 29, 2008
We were back home for the first time in weeks. I’d almost lost track of how long we’d been gone. Friends had been looking in on our pets and kept them fed and watered. We had an assortment of cats and an Alaskan Malamute/Doberman/Dane mix dog. He was half Malamute, a quarter Doberman and a [...]
The Raw Vegan: Part XXVIII, He’s Alive!
May 27, 2008
I was shaking in my boots not knowing what I’d find when I walked into the hospital room. Being prepared wasn’t really being prepared. DH had been through a lot and I couldn’t expect him to be in the best condition mentally. I knew his physical condition was painful but he’d live through the experience. [...]
The Raw Vegan: Part XXVII, Crash & Burn
May 25, 2008
The trips not sanctioned by the pilot pool were more interesting than the ones that were. DH said the pilot pool flights were mostly from airport to airport and little else. The private charters went to lots of places and, more often than not, he got to do some sightseeing and maybe some shopping. One [...]
The Raw Vegan: Part XXVI, The Blizzard
May 22, 2008
There we were, stuck in the snow in the dark. When it’s dark in Nebraska and snowing, it’s DARK except for an eery glow. When there are no farms nearby with their security lights it’s dark and lonely. I had been living in that area long enough that it was familiar to me but it [...]
The Raw Vegan: Part XXV, I Want my Mommy!
May 18, 2008
Strange, I never called her “Mommy”. She was always Mother. Never Mama, Ma, or Mom. Her mother wanted my sisters and me to call her “Mama” because she thought Grandmother or Grandma sounded too old so Mother was always Mother. Once, someone came to the door (this was before my time) and asked one of [...]
The Raw Vegan: Part XXIV, Home Again?
May 15, 2008
Some weeks earlier, DH and the boys were on their way home and a blizzard struck. DD and I were waiting at the house and the hour grew later and later. I was getting nervous and called the landlord along about 11 pm. He chided me for not calling sooner and set out on his [...]
The Raw Vegan: Part XXIII, New Wheels
May 13, 2008
DH got his hair cut and trimmed his beard into a neat goatee. He said he still had long hair on the inside but he had to get a job. To get a job, he vowed he had to be a “citizen”. He was back to flying and was part of a pilot pool. Instead [...]
The Raw Vegan: Part XXII, The Rescue from Obesity
May 11, 2008
Not only did the mirror show what condition my backside was in, a man I’d just met wanted to know when I was due. That added insult to injury and I went in the house and had another good cry. I was still less than 150 lubs, but that much fat on a 5′3″ small-boned [...]
