Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
A letter to Joe The Plumber.
Here's my problem: I would probably tell her yes! Really! I have some ridiculous, stubborn part of my brain that will not let me lie. Even when I *should*. Because of that I end up in some situations being rather short tempered and gruff with people who do NOT deserve that. To Alto2 and Ramblingmom... Continue Reading →
I've loaded all of the Seattle pictures onto my Flickr page for August Moms Gatherings. Seattle starts at the photo I posted here from the Phoenix airport. A few featured highlights: Pumpkins and peppers from the farmers market. In keeping with the fall theme 🙂 I toyed with putting that up in my blog banner... Continue Reading →
(A break in the Seattle action to bring you the results of The Game that I was so sad to miss!) Thanks to the texting fingers of one of my sports dad friends, I had nearly down by down updates on SportsBoys football game. It was perfect because we were sitting on the ferry coming...

We started off at Pikes Place Market to sit in a cafe and have breakfast and plan out the day.

We will have great food and conversation interspersed with some museum and sightseeing and shopping time. Camera batteries are charged.... Continue Reading →
This totally for fun topic is stolen from Brandy. If you followed my pre-debate twitters (you know, the ones that were not coming in at a 1 per minute clip!) then you saw my announcement that I bought a purse at the drug store. Yep, that's how I roll folks! Actually, that is so *opposite*... Continue Reading →
These anniversaries always make me shake my head wondering how it can really be THAT long ago when to my mind it was just a couple of years ago? But no. It's been 10 years since Matthew Sheppard was found on that fence post in Wyoming. Go here for a fantastic restrospective and how those... Continue Reading →
As this election season enters it's final 30 days when things will get uglier - as oh so nicely announced by the campaigns! - I am feeling the need to pull back my view lest I get too caught up in the polarization of it all. The Us vs Them thing. You see, there are... Continue Reading →
