Today, I made my favorite casserole- chicken divan – along with a pile of brown rice. Today was a day. Laundry. Therapy. Blogging. Catching up with friends. Oh, I remembered to water the mums. Maybe relationships are like casseroles – you show me your recipe, I change something and share it back. What you consider […]

I like supporting a locally owned company, a unionized company, and a company that includes people with disabilities in their workforce. I know the financial prices might be higher, but those things are prices we pay or […]
As we announced, the Dr. John P. Ruffing VMD Pet Food Pantry has to close for September because of a lack of donations. I didn’t really get much feedback. Chalked that up to there being so much wrong in the world, so much bad news that this was just more. Did I expect the calvary […]
“It’s so scary that that can just happen to you,” Love said. “You can just disappear off the face of the earth for years and nobody can find you. And it’s so wrong.” Aubrey Dameron, a young Cherokee transgender woman left her family’s house in Grove. Oklahoma on March 9, 2019. She was never seen […]
This blog isn’t exactly a diary or journal. I do share a lot of my life, at least the interesting parts. At the very least, the interesting to me parts. It is 10:32 on a Saturday night in September. Earlier today, I wrestled some cat food bags and did the dishes. Then I had a […]
