Oregon Visit
Well, it’s been a hot minute since I last posted. Fortunately, it was for good reason! I got to spend two weeks with my family and catch up with friends in Oregon. First, there was my dad’s 75th birthday. Normally, he doesn’t do a big show of his birthday but as he’s had a few…

May Party!
It’s social season as the weather improves with warmer temperatures and sunshine ☀️. It’s not yet deadly hot, so it is ideal for eating, drinking, and being merry. Usually, I prefer a smaller quainter lunch so when I initially started organizing this one, that was the plan. Then, before I knew it ten people turned…

My Hair Saga
Well, it was just barely a week – perhaps not quite since I braided on Wednesday and it was out on Tuesday…. Yup, it is what it is. Sadly, my sensitive skin and physical nature just doesn’t like natural fibers or foreign products. When I say natural fibers, I mean things like wool which makes…

Yoga Writing Retreat
For some time, I have been thinking about going on a retreat for myself. I hadn’t been on one since my yoga teacher training program when we went to Bali for a week. At that time, I didn’t love the retreat experience, but was very glad I had done it. Since arriving in Italy, I’ve…

Long Weekend Visit to England
We have wanted to see the ABBA Voyage concert since we first heard about it. Using technology the band is a digital version of their younger selves playing and singing the songs from times gone. Although at first it was a bit surreal, by the end it was almost as if it were a “real”…

Social Season Has Begun
This weekend was very full and very very fun. That’s all I can say about that. The pics only tell a small part, but you can imagine the rest. 😀 ~T 🔥🐉♋️

Spring Has Sprung
It’s that time of year again. Flowers are blooming. Sun is shining most days with a slightly cool breeze. Days are cool in morning and evening, but comfortably warm midday. Eyes are itching and watering. Nose is tickling leading to sneezing and sniffles. And, a lovely layer of pollen lands on everything that stops for…

Livin’ the Life
This image about sums up my world these days – a bit of chaos, distracted by the sun, the world keeps on moving, emails and writing take up the time I do find myself with before other things come up to take me away. Life is good. The sun is shining most days now. The…
