I thought I should write this short post as an explanation to those that may read my blog and think "that's seems a little dogmatic for her to say." The reply to the statement that my posts are dogmatic would be "of course." The only shades of gray I see are black and white. I … Continue reading A Binary Thinker in a Colorful World

Picky, Picky, Picky…Or Not.
Dinner this evening consisted of delicious pancakes and fantastic maple syrup. Believe it or not, that statement could not be more relevant to this post. Last weekend I tent camped in Door County, WI. One of the mornings, breakfast ended up being pancakes and syrup. I was not impressed. I don't like "pancakes." Or "syrup." … Continue reading Picky, Picky, Picky…Or Not.
I’ve Got My Gear in My Pack

That just screams aiding identity thieves or something. I'm not sure what this person is searching for. Perhaps the driver is a … Continue reading The Searchers
Careful, or you’ll end up in my novel.
What do I do for fun? I write. It took me several months before I would admit that to people when they asked what my hobby was. I don't know why I was so shy about my favorite past-time. (What will they think if I admit I like to write? Have they heard of this … Continue reading Careful, or you’ll end up in my novel.
A Matter of Life and Death
I enjoy autumn. I've decided that I enjoy it as much as I do spring. I think it is how they enter the year. Spring melts into summer, much like fall glides into winter. With spring and fall though, there's that snap, that noticeable change. That moment when you walk outside and say, "It's spring!" … Continue reading A Matter of Life and Death
