I have recently started buying myself cut flowers.My husband has never been one to surprise me and bring them home, in his defense I didn’t think I was ever one that would appreciate them. It always seemed like such a waste to take them from the garden. I can see now that I was short-sightedContinue reading “Flower’s Child”

My Hubby and I traveled a couple of hours down the road to the Columbia River to meet up with friends at Peach Beach . . .  The weekend plans were simple. Friends, Music and Relaxation. After-all, getting my hubby out camping… or out for anything this time of the year is almost impossible. But,Continue reading “Where In The SAM HILL……?????”

  I’ve never really been good at relaxing. Ever. I am rapped fairly tight. I get bored easily and well, that isn’t always necessarily a good thing. When I am bored the unexpected happens. Every wall becomes a canvas, furniture finds a new location, and well… the men folk in my family take cover, hopingContinue reading “A Little R&R”

I haven’t felt much like writing this summer. Matter of fact, I haven’t felt like doing much at all. I’ve enjoyed just being home, working on my trailer, hanging out with Rhett while his mommy and daddy are at work, sneaking in moments with Izzy when I can… hauling Matthew to Tri-Cities three times aContinue reading “Upping My Game”

If you happen to be around me and/or my home while I am in the garden, this is the “me” you are use to seeing. There are two facets of my personality that seem to show up the most.. aside from my faith, they are the pillars of who I am . They have beenContinue reading “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do.”

I love those texts that come out of nowhere. (Of course it is silly to say that they come from nowhere… as I don’t really believe that. But rather they come from friends who know you by heart. They know your very nature, your ins and your outs.. your habits, and personality).

My Grandson, Rhett and I started this little game when he was just becoming aware of the world around him. Anytime he and I would lock eyes or.. glance in one another’s direction, I would say, I SEE YOU. Having heard Maya Angelou ask the question, “Do your eyes light up when your love walksContinue reading “I See You.”

There are time in which I feel that I was born into the wrong era. And perhaps even longer chucks of time in which I am sure I was born into the wrong “story line.” Perhaps it is that longing that  propels me to tell the stories of those that are not only products ofContinue reading “McClure Ranch”

It was a dark and stormy night, on the eve that we met. … Okay, okay, okay…. perhaps not. But, I have always wanted to write that. I have always loved those writers who seems to “slink” through there stories as if there is something just around the bend. The truth is, that while itContinue reading “Lady Liberty.”

There are time that I find myself chuckling and wondering who is surprised more, her or me. Brought together  from our love for all things adventurous and vintage. Bonded by our individual quests to carve out a life on our own terms.

I have always been impressed by those who take up a calling and run with it. I know deep down it is the “thing” that separates those who dream, and those living the dream.  Reminding myself, it is one thing to think about living it and just sitting with it in the quiet of theContinue reading “Answering The Call”
