… This Just In …
I have 20 peanut patties, but after counting them, there is only 16 total. I am currently eating one, as I type this. That will leave 15; three of which are in the freezer, 12 are in my snack locker. And, I still think I missed my calling. I should have been a PROFESSIONAL elephant hugger!

Mountain’s Are Cloaked in Smoke
With California burning and Nevada and Utah also on fire, a thick smoke cloud has covered this area for weeks. It was starting to lift, but more fires started and now it has settled back in, with no relief in sight. I cannot see the mountains right now and, although it looks like a thick fog (which I find beautiful), it has an ugly undertone to it. It appeared grey and gloomy this morning and then I realized that it was the smoke from all of the fires. Even the sun is sad. I love weather. Torrential downpours, snowing; it is all beautiful. I enjoy gloomy days more than I…

Vacation Bucket List
I have never really had a bucket list for anything, especially vacations, but there are a few places I hope to experience in my lifetime. Of course, the top on the list is to hug an elephant at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Orphanage. The do amazing work that is selfless and so giving for the babies that find themselves alone in the wild. The rest is in no particular order, or even a definite that it will happen, but a place that I have always wanted to see. Montana Colorado (I’ve been a few times, but would love to road trip it through the mountains) SF – Seattle by car…

Stepping Up on a Soapbox
I am stepping up on a soapbox… It truly fucking annoys me when some people respond to a comment, or a conversation, with an opposing view for the sake of argument. It is not cute and it certainly is not going to give you the kind of attention you might be craving. How about just have a conversation and not feel the need to interject with needless bullshit. We all need that human connection, whether it be in person or through online avenues. Having a conversation is one thing, but disagreeing when their is no need for it is another. I am not suggesting that we all agree and have…

Happy Birthday!
Today is a gift, and one that I feel is important and should be celebrated! Please join me in wishing Mrs. Dwwindsor (also affectionately known as House Boss) a very happy birthday! I have come to adore this lady who makes me laugh and she is just good energy. Plus, she keeps DW on his toes and, let’s be real, that is probably a fun job for her. lol. She amuses me and I am thankful that Dwwindsor shares a little bit of her with us. A sweet, sweet spirit. Happy, happy birthday to the lady of Windsor Castle. *hugs* Today should be celebrated and recognized, even if quietly.

Reach For the Stars . . .
The last two years has taught me that it is never too late to achieve your dreams and to make a change. I used to hate change. It was not that it scared me, it just did not seem necessary. But, change is important. Change is good.

Memorial Day
What today means to me: Memorial Day isn’t the day that starts summer, nor is it the day that gives me an excuse to head to the lake to drink like a fool. Memorial Day is the one day that we, as a country, actually stop to think about our freedom. It’s the one day that, as a whole, we appreciate those who gave their lives and sacrificed their futures so that we could have one. Many never made it home while others did, but let us not forget what they ultimately gave. Their lives. I’m thankful for all soldiers, nurses, families and lives from past and present wars and…
