Time for a visit! I could only stay away for so long before I had to check in with my Tyler, all the way out at Purdue. Just a quick trip, long enough to get a “Bug hug,” and find the best donut and burger in West Lafayette… I think that we hit the jackpot!! šĀ Ā Ā A REALLY good burger we found–with peanut butter on top!Ā Who would…
Friday, I had the pleasure of attending a meeting up in Vermont. Twist my arm; I had to go traveling to one of my favorite places. Sometimes life is so hard. š Kathleen, my co-worker, and I traveled together. Good company, good conversation. We always have a pleasant visit whenever we go somewhere. Thank you, Kathleen! I enjoy our trips. After the meeting, she asked me if I…
The bandaid has been ripped off, the pain is gone! I canāt tell you how happy I am to be beginning againā¦…
Dear Kyla (From Purdue), I just want to thank you so much for all of your help during this past week as Tyler and I realized our big university housing debacle. It was our own oversight. How thankful I am to have waited for 45 minutes in the phone queue. If I hadnāt, I would not have gotten YOU. You were nice, taking me by the hand…
Every week I do a video on my instagram account. Itās either called Wisdom Wednesday or Thoughtful Thursday ā¦ depending on what day I pull it together. š This week I wanted to introduce you to a New England favorite ā¦ which you will see here. And, I was thinking that maybe someone out there needed a nudge. A nudge to set things straight or get something dealt…
The universal role of being a parent ā¦ caregiver, protector, mentor. As many of you know, during the summer months, I spend a lot of time at camp with my family. Through the years, we have always followed the loon families on the lake. Our loon families. Like clockwork, the loons meet us every spring, scoping out the waters first. They are the first to greet us as our…
I have many thoughts going on in my mind this Sunday afternoon. Itās funny, sometimes our minds seem fixated on one thing. Other times it feels as if there is a party going on up there with different songs pumping through the speakers, each with its own rhythm and tune. Very challenging to follow at times, right?! Instead of writing about one thing this week, I am going…
Happy 4th of July weekend everyone! Deep in the heart of New Hampshire, my family celebrates every yearāat the lake. This is our special place that you all read about last week. I thought that I would share some pictures. Our flotilla that set out in the morning of the 4th to do a little exploring. We waterskied and tubed our way through the afternoon..hold on Sam and…
Itās that place that I canāt get to fast enough and never want to leave. ā¦ and my compass always points me in that direction. The soft smell of pine greets as soon as I turn down Lake Road. Whispers of welcome back ā¦ and the dog begins to whine. Since before I was born, this place has been a part of me, woven deep into the spirit of…
This summer has been interesting. I started it with shin splints and am ending it with a splinted finger. Am I getting old? Nawā¦I refuse to be any age older than 35. When I bought my new house, last November, the dishwasher didnāt work right. I had a couple of people I know look at it, clean it, and check it out. It remained finicky. So when the…
