Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
I'm stealing from the suggested topic this time since it is so easy - and easy is always best for a Monday 🙂 So here are my pets: Amber the large boned, long haired, highly vocal (I swear she's had entire back and forth conversations with Alex who, naturally, loves to tease her) part Maine...

(I don't care what I've been told) Some damn snakes are really bold (Some damn snakes are really bold) Keep your eyes trained on the ground (Keep your eyes trained on the ground) Because they do not make a sound (Because they do not make a sound) SOUND OFF One, Two SOUND OFF Three, Four...

Did you ever watch daytime soap operas? Those tales of unusually large, wealthy, extended families set in small towns where somehow everyone knew each other yet only found out at just the right time that they were also related in some dramatic fashion. It was somehow supposed to be a reflection of something as... Continue Reading →
Today's version of the Merry Month of May will be taken from the suggested blog topics list: "Share what you love about your hometown." Should I bore you with the weather already? We are only two days into this 31 day challenge?!! But really, when you live 1 mile from Torrey Pines State Beach as... Continue Reading →
Yes, it does feel like we are up the Torrey Pines with the birds 🙂 In fact, there was an Oregon Junco sitting on the branch just outside my window on Monday morning just singing away. I might need to keep a checklist of birds spotted from my desk while we are here! It's... Continue Reading →

Now, I know I cannot attribute this feeling to just the... Continue Reading →

I toyed with pushing myself up this morning to run again. Keep that even day in may pattern going. But..since I did do that track workout yesterday and my toe is not 100% I decided it was OK to skip today and switch things around. I'll still run every other day. The goal is to... Continue Reading →
Starting off with the beauty since the rest of the day was pretty lacking in it. Ok, not entirely true, the beach I whizzed by in the car on the way to and from work was pretty darn gorgeous but there was no chance to stop and take a photo. The jacaranda tree is the... Continue Reading →
