There's a new key on my ring that I can't use just yet, but I'm carrying it anyway because I'm excited about this unexpected gift from my husband. I'm still sort of in a state of disbelief about it, to be honest. I can't quite believe I really have this key, let alone what it … Continue reading Love Languages & Chocolate Sprinkles

An Empowered Shade of Orange
So... I'm going to be back in orange again. And this time it's not going to be picking up trash along the freeway as penance---I just landed a job as a Home Depot cashier. There's a tiny part of me that wonders if I shouldn't sigh and shake my head at myself, past forty with a … Continue reading An Empowered Shade of Orange
Jesus Meets a Harley-Riding Rabbit
Regardless of what the retail-store displays would have us believe, Easter really isn't about chocolate, baskets, or long-eared hopping mammals. Nevertheless, our church chooses to host an "Easter Eggstravaganza" for the neighborhood, staged in the park right behind the church.

Life, and Death. And Life.
Life in Idaho... I've been practicing my fly-fishing cast out in the road behind our RV, aiming to land my fly on a paper plate. Jon has been out with me, working on technique--and he'll take me to try it on water once I'm hitting that plate regularly. (We picked up our three-year hunting-and-fishing licenses … Continue reading Life, and Death. And Life.
Flood in the Desert
Supposedly, I live in a "high desert" climate. Well, I do live in a high desert climate--but you sure wouldn't know it this year. I just pulled up an article from January, stating that Boise had (already) seen more snow-so-far than any year since 1892, when they started keeping records. And we kept getting more snow---a … Continue reading Flood in the Desert
Views From the Roof
On the list of things-I-didn't-think-about before living in an RV: we have a great balcony with a great view. OK, it's our RV roof, but the "great view" part is true. Our park is situated right next to a semi-pro baseball park (Boise Hawks, a farm team for the Colorado Rockies) so we have front-row seats … Continue reading Views From the Roof
On Mobility
I used to say I hated moving, when "moving" involved packing and hauling and unpacking boxes every time... But moving kept happening, even while I said that. I averaged more than a move-a-year in the decade before I married Jon---never mind that with every move I earnestly swore my intention of staying put! I blamed circumstances … Continue reading On Mobility
