http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/04/06/daily-prompt-in-the-summertime/ The word ‘Summertime’ has always conjured for me sweet feelings of bliss and freedom. I wish every child could have the kind of childhood I was blessed with. As a result certain associations were embedded in my child brain, and they persist to this day. That’s great because they’re all happy associations. Things like. […]

My Le Creuset Dutch Oven: C’est Cie Bon
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/02/09/daily-prompt-ingredients/ Confession: I’m no Julia Child. I have other talents and interests. If that sounds defensive, it’s because it is. Cooking triggers my ‘insecurity’ and reveals my soft under belly of inadequacy. In my family I’m a lone island of Culinary Failure surrounded by a Sea of Good Cooks. They’re thinking of having my DNA […]
Mirrored: People Are Like Telephones
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/01/22/daily-prompt-mirrored/ Consistency is something I value in myself and others.

Africa is by far the strangest and […]

Here’s my favorite Standout photo. I took it very early one morning near a lake in the Grand Tetons. A mother Merganser was teaching her brood to fish. This little guy has become my mascot. I love his eagerness and passion; his excitement and abandon. Gross is a Standout. Do you share my penchant for […]
Unintended Consequences
OK here’s a status update: we got to LA just in time to join the community of workers now headed home from work. My husband grew up in LA and has driven this freeway for 50 years. He says there has been no structural change but the traffic has increased by maybe a factor of […]
BORED OUTA MY MIND
Just 30 minutes into a 6 hour drive I had a flat. Now I’m sitting in a Les Schwab Tire Store waiting my turn while watching Country Music videos and wondering who buys the Giant Bubble Gum or Mike and Ike candies from the dispensers. We are a cross section of America here this morning. […]
Dream Home
DREAM HOME. Two simple words that evoke very powerful emotions. Home is a ‘charged’ word. It’s as strong as one of those electromagnets they use to lift cars. It pulls at something in my very core. I feel home on a deep almost subliminal level. Dream is a paradox of vivid reality and ethereal fragility. […]
