Lisa and I went to a thrift store in Puyallup this morning. I picked up a rehab tank with a screen top for $4.95 and on the way out was able to put it to immediate use. A young bird knocked itself out on the glass window front of the thrift store and fell to […]

AHOY, MATEY! Lisa and I are scheduled for a two-hour “evening sail” on the Tall Ship Lady Washington out of Olympia soon. I bought the tickets today so we’re confirmed. They were only $39 for Lisa and $36 for me, so it was a deal we simply couldn’t pass up! We looked at

I have been following Deborah King since last summer and the change from who I was when I closed my eyes at night back then, and who I am when I do the same thing now, has been nothing short of miraculous. Let me explain. As a Type A writer, I am always

Goodness gracious sakes alive, this has NOT been a good week for some of my friends. I won’t mention their names because they’re staying anonymous at least until they’re released, but one is in the Northern Hemisphere and one in the Southern Hemisphere so, as far as I’m concerned, this a global crisis.

For every “downer” blog post I write (the last two have been relative downers), I intend to write two “upper” posts because I want my readers’ energies to vibrate at higher levels.

His wife has been implicated in encouraging the insurrectionists in Trump’s thrall to overturn the legitimate election of Joe Biden. And he has refused to recuse himself from cases regarding the insurrection. Why is something not

I’m so tired of being surprised in negative ways by some of my favorite celebrities. I guess I got spoiled rotten knowing DeForest Kelley up close and personal, because he was the quintessential gentleman at all times, even when it was nearly impossible to remain one (had I been in his shoes).
Roots are crucial to existence. Roots reach down and out (and sometimes up) in search of the nutrients and liquids they need to keep their fruit alive, whether the fruit is a tree, a bush, a flower, or a vegetable. But sometimes roots find themselves pressed up against a barrier that

My new yard sign arrived a few days ago and is out in the front yard. It looks terrific. Although I’m not actively seeking new clients at the moment (in fact, I have one waiting in the wings locally, in case one of my two regular long-term clients stops using me), I actually got

My old yard sign is showing its age, so I ordered a new, fun one. I really love it. It will be here in the next few days. The old sign wasn’t fun/funny. It was strictly informational, and some of the information is wrong now. It’s a lot more faded than this image shows,
