The end of September! This is my favorite time of year. My daughter’s birthday and my birthday are in October. I have always loved Halloween. I enjoy cooler mornings and evenings, and I’m one of those weird people who does not mind the earlier sunsets. Bring on Fall! Quote of the week:“No matter where life — Read More

Hope everyone is headed into a relaxing weekend. My brain has been foggy all week. This morning, I was completely confounded about what had happened to my coffee mug and then the microwave dinged and I realized I had put it in there. Wow.

This week went by fast, didn’t it? Let’s get to it… Quote of the week:“I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers.

Howdy! Hope you have had a good week. I am still not feeling like myself since Covid. I had no idea the recovery from “mild” Covid would be so hard. The fatigue and brain fog are just now starting to subside for me (I’m almost 3 weeks out). I’m hoping to get back to normal — Read More

Well, I missed last week’s roundup because Covid finally got me (and my daughter). We tested positive on July 26.
