Start living the life you imagine.
It had been a good week, but still, I was happy for it to be Friday. I was looking forward to a weekend with no commitments, heaven for an introvert.

There’s nothing quite like the quintessential church picnic. June is the month for a lot of church picnics in the area, and I think it’s just a lovely way to spend a few hours. So I spent some time at a local celebration a few weeks ago, and really had a great time. One of... Continue Reading →
In 2017 I took a motorcycle ride that turned out to be the adventure of a lifetime. I wrote about it in my local newspaper, but so many people were interested in the story that I thought it would be a good idea to put it into a book, and that's what I spent the... Continue Reading →
