Photos: Travis J. Arnold Technically, we were home yesterday, but I spent the day pulling little bits of memories from the weekend and storing them in my heart. And a couple of hours at the barn. That was pretty much my day. My night, however, was dark and long. Isn't that the way so often? [...]

November 10 from somewhere in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Not exactly in the mountains, but we have a gorgeous view. There was a herd of deer in our front yard last night. It is cold. It is quiet. All our people are here. I am in Heaven. I'm writing this from the dining room table, sipping coffee, while Russell takes some pictures of the [...]
November 8 and bringing order to (my) chaos
When you are 57 years old and you decide to change it all up. Cuz it is about time. Have I mentioned that I am super OCD? A perfectionist? A keeper of habits and routines? Lover of tradition? Back when the littles were, well, little, I had to let a lot of that go. Because, [...]
November 7 and I can’t think of a thing to say
Well, that's actually not true, because I have a lot to say. Just not sure how to share it here in an, um, palatable way. So I'm just gonna start typing and see how it goes. My heart hurts that our country is so divided. And I'm wondering what it will take to bring us [...]
November 6 and this

Reining in my eating, my wine consumption, my lazy-lack-of-exercising behavior? #sucks Also, though...I am feeling so much better. Yeah...this weekend I ate the biscuit and sausage gravy [...]
November 4 and thanks
Thanks, everybody, for your kind words and interaction and teasing over my button collection of which I am quite proud Seriously, it has been fun getting back into the blogging thing. I never realize how much I miss it until I get back to it after a long break. Getting the words to flow is [...]
November 3 and changes are a-coming
If you follow me on social media, you may notice a theme in my posts lately. Besides the fact that I am all about the Holiday Season being upon us now and I am all psyched for that, you are seeing a lot of posts (and reposting of other's posts) about change. Maybe you [...]
November 2 and the obvious
One comment from yesterday's post got me thinking. D said she was thankful for life and was just feeling "the obvious." I would like to suggest that we miss the obvious more often than not. It's like the basket on the stairs. Before our youngest came around, I had a basket on the stairs where [...]
November 1 and a new look.
It's been almost a year since I last posted. A year. In that time, my baby got married; my girl switched careers; I joined Young Living and am turning my health around; my handsome hubby and I celebrated thirty-five years of marriage, and I visited Colorado for the first time and loved it. #boom #done [...]
