I’m sitting outside on my patio at our new home. It’s a little gloomy, cool, and I can hear some rumbles from cars chugging by out front. Our surroundings are night and day compared to our previous home. Gone is the “family-friendly” environment (how our […]
Can you believe we’re halfway through November? It seems everyone is more anxious than ever to get things rolling on everything merry. For the extroverts, this holiday season may look a little different. For us introverts, it may be the most wonderful time of the […]
We’re officially a month into Fall. Just weeks away from the heated election, and about two months to go before we say goodbye to 2020. To say this year has been a roller coaster is an understatement. From the pandemic and lock downs to the […]
Traveling on an airplane. I don’t like the efforts that go into flying, especially when I was l leaving from LAX. Now? I actually miss the hustle, bustle, and frustration of airports. There. I said it. Live concerts. On two separate occasions last year, my […]
