A Few Recent Discoveries

……….but still no photo’s (sorry).
Friday night Brad and I took the tube into Wembly, and ventured off to Ikea.  I love Ikea.  Since I first discovered Ikea in Seattle several years ago, I’ve been waiting and waiting for them to build in Colorado.  As luck would have it, Ikea IS building in Colorado—-and I’m not [...]

Nothing Happens in One Visit

I believe I heard before we arrived, but certainly since, the term “getting UKed.”  This could mean several things, one being the process of acclimating to a new place, getting used to a different culture, a new climate, new words, different money.  I heard one funny example the other day, from a woman who was [...]

Abroad

After a long hiatus, it’s time to ressurect the blog (mostly due to the urgings of friends).   What, pray tell, is the reason for this visitation?   Glad you’ve asked.
A little background.  My dear hubby has (if you have been here before, you’ll recall) been in the Air Force nearly 30 years now.  Last summer he [...]

Adjustments…

Lot’s going on here, and not sure where to start…….
If you’ve visited before, you know that a mid-week post from me these days is rare (heck, any post from me these days is rare).  Used to be a time when I was doggone faithful to the blog, I would write everyday, complete with theme days [...]

How does one begin……

……to write such a long overdue update?  It seems a bit foolish to give a play by play of three months gone by; photograph and narrate life since the last foray into blogland.  Just now, I think I’ve come up with an idea, and it is all about random thoughts, with perhaps some recent history [...]

Deepest Thanks :)

Once again, I’ve been reminded that it’s been a little bit since an update—-not as long as the last laps of course, but an update is in order following my plea from last time.  First off, thank you from the bottom of my pancreas (medical joke, sorry) for your generosity in donating to the Step Out [...]

Let’s see if I remember how this works……

I’m interrupting my blogging hiatus to shamelessly ask for help—–but first, a quick rundown of what has been going on around here.
When last we met, I had just come back from Estes Park and was getting ready to head to the homeland for vacation.  In a word, it was marvelous.  We began with 3 days [...]

Blogging al fresco *

I’m laying low today…….enjoying the quiet of an empty house and no commitments, and trying to keep a sinus headache at bay.  I’ve been fighting this pain behind my left eye for days, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve more than likely got a raging sinus infection going on.  For now, I’m doing [...]

It’s about time……

…….to do something about the blog.  There are many excuses reasons I could site for being so long absent, and I may share a couple.  But the fact remains I’ve been away too long and I miss hearing from you all.   My friend Ellen chastised me the other day for not updating the blog and I [...]

Changes.

It’s somewhat hard for me to believe that this use to be a daily activity for me……..but nonetheless, here I am, again trying to catch up.  I so appreciate you all stopping in to say hi, and I love reading your blogs as often as I can.  I was about to say, that I’m having [...]
