How in the world did Louisa May Alcott walk this in a hoop skirt? Or how did Hawthorne, Emerson, and Thoreau walk these woods in cravats in the summer? Seriously – the humidity people, I can’t even describe it. (But I did just get back from Phoenix.) And this is really mild for summer in [...]

So, I started writing that novel – you know, that one I’ve been meaning to write since I was 18.  I actually have started it several times and have worked on it sporatically.  Well, I decided that if I was going to actually keep working on it, then I would have to do something about [...]

So, what did I do in Phoenix?  Not much and I loved every blessed, relaxing, and lazy moment of it. First – Sun. Mandy’s parents have a pool.  ‘Nuff said.  Here she is! I would spend about 2-3 hours a day in this pool. Mandy on the other hand could take the heat longer and [...]

For the holiday weekend, my parents and I went to see a sheep herding competition.  Weird.  But cool. Anyways, while we were driving out into the middle of nowhere in Oregon, we passed this old, red covered bridge.  I fell in love.  And I remembered the movie The Bridges of Madison County and I remembered [...]
