I'm no professional photographer at all, but I do love to snap pictures with my iPhone camera everywhere I go. My most common subject is landscapes, with a preference for rolling hills, mountains, and water. Now, the last week of February, we flew down to Indian Wells, California, for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar, …

For me, finding peaceful places always seems to include water. Maybe it's because I grew up surrounded by bodies of water in the Seattle area. Wherever we travel, we like to check out local lakes and rivers. And when we are on a cruise ship, my favorite activity is sitting out on our stateroom balcony, …

I spend a lot of time alone these days, and I have no problem with that. I get up early, long before my husband, and get ready to go to work. But first, I have to satisfy the furry animal who waits outside the bedroom door, meowing for her breakfast. In the evenings, when Hubby …

Until this week, I had never been to Palm Springs, California. My parents used to go there every winter for a few years, but that wasn't until I was an adult, an I never had a reason to go there before. This week, Hubby and I hopped a plane and went down to a Hillsdale …

Unlike Tina, we had no problems with Covid restrictions last year, so we traveled when and where we wanted to. In April we drove to Colorado and back for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar. It was a wonderful springtime trip, and we traversed numerous mountain ranges on the way, starting with the Cascades in …

It's that time of year again, for those with cats to put up their tree, while simultaneously trying to find ways to keep the cat (s) from tearing everything down. Different families come up with different ways to do that. We don't have a tree, so we don't have to worry about Kikyo tearing everything …
I love the snow! We had a little yesterday, but it is really coming down today. And our backyard has been hopping with birds all day long. Today, we have seen the following: Varied Thrush, Dark-eyed Junco, Song Sparrow, Rufous-sided Towhee, Common Bushtit, Black-capped Chickadee, and Chestnut-backed Chickadee. This morning, I went outside and stood …
