Where do you reside? I know you likely live in a house or an apartment or 5th wheel or some other domicile. But where is it that you really live? I guess I’m really asking what do you live into? A week ago I heard a speaker at a conference suggest that individuals need their…

I love it when I wake up with a song. Don’t get me wrong, I do not wake up singing. There’s a definite difference. I’m not a good waker-upper, never have been. At breakfast this morning Keck said, “I guess you’re not talking yet.” I think I looked at him and shook my head and…

As she stalks and observes the creek, she can’t help but talk about the fish. She says she is “coming around to fish as spirit.” The Greek acronym for some of the…

Keck: Love is a verb. Me: Yes, you made me breakfast this morning. I love you, too. He made me my favorite breakfast. Poached eggs with toast and chicken sausage. Second only to his fantastic waffles and bacon breakfast. Today is our 27th wedding anniversary. I’d remarry him again. Not just for breakfast either. ❤

It’s that time of year, again. Report is middle-English from the Anglo-French word reporter . It is used to mean “to bring back.” Reports are due to the board of directors. We have to give account for what we’ve accomplished this year. Yes, we also have to share what didn’t work. I get all geeky…
