Because I was in Facebook jail for more than 24 hours, I didn’t get as many of the “thinking of you” messages on DeForest Kelley’s birthday until January 21st. Thank you to everyone who reached out. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to reach back to you unless I have your WhatsApp info or some […]

Today’s walk created an opportunity to take a photo of a dead snake. I only wish it was alive instead of dead. It was such a gorgeous creature! It looks enormous in the picture, but that’s because I set my cellphone to within a couple inches of it so it would fill the screen. In

Here is my latest doings update. This one won’t be as long as previous posts have been, I promise! But there’s some good stuff in here. On January 11 I wrote into my handwritten notes: I ate lunch late, but wanted to get the blog post put to bed before I
I’m back to the keyboard today to transfer here to the blog anything that needs to be shared or remembered long term from my handwritten notes. I’m loving writing in longhand so much that I have pretty much abandoned the keyboard on most days. Now it looks like I have 28 pages of handwritten
