So...I am doing tutorials in how to manage and function within my blog page. Changed the title to match my logo and changed the color of the background. One step at a time, I am learning to navigate, change course, and manage this new world of mine, follow different paths, and come back to the… Continue reading HAVING FUN WITH MY BLOG WEBSITE
NEW WORLDS AND NEW CHALLENGES
As a new blogger, I have so much to learn. I have taken one course on blogging and am currently going through everything I can find about writing on the web. It's a little like going on a journey with a general idea of the direction you need to go in but no detailed knowledge… Continue reading NEW WORLDS AND NEW CHALLENGES
BECOMING A BLOGGER
Becoming a blogger...okay, easy enough to say, but what is it and how to begin. I took a blogging course to get me started and wrote my first blog on December 17, and have published 12 blogs so far. Not a bad start, I suppose, but I am just now beginning to get the hang… Continue reading BECOMING A BLOGGER
BLOGGING
So here I am....blogging; still not sure what that even means, but I will give it a try. Writing is a passion, a compulsion, even an obsession, but what to do with it...that is the question! I have been writing for most of my life and I have boxes and boxes of typed and handwritten… Continue reading BLOGGING
NEW YEAR’S DAY 2019
January 1, 2019! The start of another year...why do we make such a big deal of the start of another year? The previous year is only a few hours in the past the same as Monday is only a few hours in the past on Tuesday. But...we act like we have entered a new reality,… Continue reading NEW YEAR’S DAY 2019

I am not sure I will ever stop missing her...or my dad. They are so much a part of me, of who I… Continue reading MOTHER’S BIRTHDAY
ROAD TRIPS
I have now been on three cruises and next summer I will do another; but I have been doing road trips for most of my life. As a child I traveled from one end of California to the other and roamed all across the Arizona desert. Our home was on the Colorado River in the… Continue reading ROAD TRIPS
SO IT IS THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS
What can you say about the day after Christmas? When my children were young it was a day of stepping over new toys, or watching them through the kitchen window playing in the yard or the street in front of our house. For my boys the cold was never a hindrance to playing outdoors. They… Continue reading SO IT IS THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS
SIMPLE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
When I was a little girl we lived on the desert. I had never seen snow. It was just something I read about in books or saw in movies; so Christmas didn't mean snow to me. It got chilly, but there wasn't any snow, not even any rain. Most of our trees resembled Charlie Brown's… Continue reading SIMPLE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
WHEN DEATH COMES TOO SOON
Fourteen years ago we welcomed my daughter's second baby girl. Five and a half months later, she left us behind. I visited her grave this morning, like I do every year on this day and the day she left, and put a small bouquet of flowers from my yard on her headstone; flowers from my… Continue reading WHEN DEATH COMES TOO SOON
