Basking in the warm fuzziness known as the Bear Hunt, Kurt and I got an idea. Why not make our own lemonade? Of course, I’m not talking about that citrusy sweet beverage most coveted in the blazing heat of an Arkansas summer, but what if, just what if, we offered an opportunity to forget about … More Drive By Photography
Going on a Bear Hunt
January 19, 2021
It was March. 2020 Spring Break was obliterated. No vacations, no day at the park with friends; heck, even trips to the toy aisle at Wal Mart were cancelled. Then one day, a River Valley educator came up with a fantastic idea. A Bear Hunt! Of course the best way to get the word out … More Going on a Bear Hunt
2020
January 18, 2021
The multitude of changes that transpired in 2020 seemed to quell any inspiration to writing. Navigating Covid restrictions in a business that’s all about human contact, seeking truth in a political environment that’s hell bent on creating division, moving to and renovating a 90 year old stucco, and adjusting to “urban dwelling” (I know, I … More 2020

It was 5:08. In the morning. Like clockwork, Dave had jumped in the bed an hour earlier, just to make sure, I surmise, that I hadn’t forgotten about him and our sacred walk time which always begins promptly at 5:15. After stumbling around in the dark searching for a pair of socks, I made my … More Smile
On Moving
October 1, 2020
Moving to a new home, a much smaller home, after 21 years, provided us the perfect opportunity to downsize. Letting go of my stuff – clothes, momentos, chachkies, knickknacks, do-hickies, and dust filled time saving devices – was a painstaking process. “Trimming the Fat” is not for the faint of heart! Let’s face it, I … More On Moving

There are some constants in this upside down state of being known as 2020. Perhaps some of the most vital fall into the pet category.

It’s hard these days to even consider the possibility of harnessing good luck, due to the fact that life, as we know it, has drastically changed. Comings and goings are clouded with an air of caution; tension, a familiar, yet unwelcome guest, pervades. Because I have been given the wherewithal to prevail when faced with … More Luck
Hope
September 11, 2020
I’m a sucker for trees. Big trees, small trees, evergreens, deciduous, it doesn’t matter. I am an equal opportunity tree hugger. My miniscule front yard boasts an old Southern Magnolia, a redbud and a ginormous crepe myrtle, the trifecta of hardy blooms greeting my gaze towards the heavens. It’s absolutely delightful. Although there’s not too … More Hope
