I saw some really cool stuff on my walk this morning – a tree with a heart shaped scar on it, a rock with a heart drawn on it, and the fog settling in the trees above my old elementary school. This weekend we cleaned up the backyard at my mom‘s house. My sisters, my…

Wow, I am so glad I took a day and disconnected from pretty much everything. I don’t know the last time it was that I had a full day without looking at my phone. I didn’t even turn my phone on today, so I had no idea what time it was or if anybody was…

I headed out for a three day camping trip at Bodega Bay and decided to take the long way via highway 1. My sister very kindly let me use her sprinter van so that I could see what it was like to camp in a slightly more luxurious style, something that I think I will…

On Sunday, Mom and I got out for a walk in the afternoon and ended up over at my elementary school. There were kids and parents practicing baseball on the field, other kids riding bikes and scooters, just your typical Sunday afternoon. As we walked around the yard commenting how lucky they were to go…

I finished reading my 100th book of the year today. This isn’t the 100th book I’ve read since the start of this calendar year, it’s the 100th book I’ve read since the start of my year starting on my birthday, July 3. And I’ve been recording the names of all of the books that I read since…

It was an early morning today, up at 3:30 so that I could get to the airport by five for my flight to Burbank. I did not need to hurry  though, as the lines were very short and there were only 37 people on the flight, so we all got a set of three seats to…

Spent my last two days house/pet sitting in San Francisco playing with Otis, petting Chicken, reading, doing yoga, collaging, trying to meditate (didn’t have much patience for it-I may have been over caffeinated 😁) listening to the Women Who Dare podcast (so inspiring !) and going for walks. I got in a lovely stroll around Land’s…

I got in a lot of walking today. Otis and I went out for our morning amble around the neighborhood, than I walked to the de Young Museum to check out the new Ansel Adams exhibit. Along the way, I passed the beautiful Russian Orthodox cathedral and an awesome van belonging to the Church on…

Easter morning started with a walk to China Beach, where Otis and I checked out the gorgeous mural in front of the Swiss embassy and picked up some tantalizing postcards featuring the scenic views there.  Chrissy, Javi and I went over to Moms to celebrate Easter in an unconventional way, at least for us, picking…

For the past few days I have been house and pet sitting for one of my sisters friends in San Francisco. The house is near Baker Beach, and it has been such a treat to be able to walk in the sand, listen to the waves and smell the ocean.  The cat, Chicken, spends most…
