Women's Issues Midlife And Beyond
What pure pleasure it is to meet women who understand abundant life is created by individual desires and attitudes. One such woman is Barb Dryer. Barb exudes a sparkling energy, one of possibilities, kindness, and gratitude, and it’s hard not to feel uplifted in her presence. This past weekend I had the chance to chat with her while attending… Read More
“Just discovered that creating a recipe is like writing, the art is knowing when to stop adding and changing the ingredients.” ― Chris Geiger Back when I was a sweet young lass, my father came to me with a plea. “Your mom tries, but she cannot bake decent chocolate chip cookies to save her soul. Any chance you would try?”… Read More
“I don’t want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald I was running a little ahead of schedule, a bad habit ingrained in me by my father. If he was on time, he was late. Period. But enough of my Norwegian/German/Bohemian underpinnings and tendencies. The reason for my trip to Sandstone,… Read More
I’ve had a number of requests to let folks know where my next art fair shows are occurring. Thank you for caring! I’ve been busy creating, printing, framing, matting, and more, and that’s why I’ve been a little laggy in the blogging department. I promise to get back on schedule soon!

The artist mixer, held at Northfield’s Imminent Brewing, meant an opportunity to meet other local creatives. Nonetheless, there I was, eyes down, hiding behind a plate of excellent food truck offerings. Nom, nom, nom. Before long a woman took… Read More
“We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.” –William Faulkner
“Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.” ― Mark Twain I didn’t think much about the car approaching from behind. As a young girl, my worldview was secure and small. People were all friendly, mostly consisting of family and neighbors. On this day I had decided to walk… Read More
“In early June the world of leaf and blade and flowers explodes, and every sunset is different.” — John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontentment June, June, June, I mused. When did I last give Booker his flea and tick stuff? Moving to the calendar I flipped back to May’s dates and activities. Dang, I hadn’t jotted down the deed. Usually, I… Read More
“They say all marriages are made in heaven, but so are thunder and lightning.” ― Clint Eastwood Shockingly, I sometimes get on my husband’s nerves. I suspect you’re thinking that’s ridiculous, but, yeppers, apparently, I manage. In my defense, I used to be a lot less, um, observed, because he was at work, or at choir, or having lunch with… Read More
