I’m more than half finished with my journal preservation project. If I keep up the same pace, I ought to be finished by the middle of February. That would be lovely because then my only remaining daily task (other than livestock care) will be getting better at Spanish than I am now. And I […]

Going through my journals to preserve them these last few weeks has SUPER surprised me. It appears I kept copies of nearly all (if not all) of the scores of cards and letters that I wrote to the Kelleys over the years, and they crack me up every time I stop long enough to read

Carolyn (Mrs. DeForest) Kelley sent me a note one time with this printed on it. It cracked me up. I like it! I think I will make it my new motto and profile picture!!! LOL! (I would, if it depicted a GUY!) In Other News Happy 105th Birthday, DeForest Kelley! Happy

On this last full day of government sanity before sociopatic forces take over once again from the highest offices in the land (now fortified by people ready, willing and able to kill and die for T-Rex), I am back to preserving my journal at the rate of ten (sometimes more) volumes per day. I

I have never been as frustrated with technology as I feel right now. Lisa, my IT guru nephew Phil, and I have tried everything suggested by both companies — Genius Scan and Dropbox — to fix the connection snafu so I can proceed with preserving my journals, and nothing has worked. I either

It feels super weird to be burning my first 59 journals, even though I have preserved them as PDF documents. I mean, I poured my heart and soul into each of those many pages. They were written in my own hand. They’re the “children” of my evolving personhood; they carry my decades’ younger essence in

While going through my treasures as I’m downsizing, twice this week I have run across two items that have/had the potential to be worth upward of tens of thousands of dollars each. The first is a wall hanging I bought 40 years ago. This one: Based on the info on the reverse side,

OK, it’s time for an update on my doings… SPANISH LESSONS I’m progressing with my Spansh lessons day to day. I listen to two disks per day (there are 60 total, I believe) and do all of the exercises therein. So far, I’m doing very well, but we’re just into the basics right

If there’s a heaven, God designed it for people like Jimmy Carter. He knew who he served as President. The people. And his God, which wasn’t the Southern Baptist God of his youth. He outgrew that denomination and became a true Christ follower. I’m watching the tributes to him all this week, which

My Spanish language book and its accompanying 30+ CDs follow-along arrived in the mail today, and I’m already on page 13 and through the first lesson. So far, I’m doing very well. My Spanish lessons from high school fifty years ago, along with my infrequent use of DuoLingo over the past few years, have
