I started the day by reading a number of Facebook posts about the history of the Labor Movement. A bit later I heading out side to cut more of the grass. The temp went from 72 to 82 much too quickly. The glass of cold water might have been magic water, because I finally sat down and finished the Book # 5 chapter that has … Continue reading Labor Day

The ideas are there, just floating around in my head, but they haven’t settled on a specific direction. I am not one of those writers who focus on writing X number … Continue reading I Should be Writing

After all of these years, I’ve never decided whether packing or unpacking is the hardest work. While I pack, I make lists of all of the things I think we might need. Then comes the challenge of finding a place to put those items in a small van that already has all of the essentials. If we ever need any of those items, I have … Continue reading Unpacking

The original plan was to depart today on the 1st leg of our 10,000 mile drive. That plan has been pushed back at least a day.
