my journey, destination unknown
Today is National Watermelon Day and Grab Some Nuts Day. Up very early to work. After a few hours of work and cleaning, I went to the gym and walked on the treadmill for an hour. A little later in the afternoon, I went to my first guitar lesson and drove the girls home from…
Create, Project 45, and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me. July’s main theme was Career. My plan is that…
Today is National Night Out and Friendship Day and Sisters’ Day and National Ice Cream Sandwich Day. Up before 6 to make breakfast for the girls, clean, and take care of all the things around the house. I was finally ready to work around 8. I worked, exercised, and then read some of my New…
After an action-packed summer, the girls started back-to-school yesterday. For the first time ever, the girls are in the same school and Chloe has teachers that had Camille as a student. I think in some ways, the girls are happy to get back to their routines, friends, and studies. As for me, I’m hoping the…
Today is National Girlfriends Day and National Raspberry Cream Pie Day and Lughnasadh. Up at 5am to get the kids ready for school and made a banana chia “pudding” for the girls. After an hour of chores, I sat down to work. The girls left for their first day. Mid-morning, I went to the gym,…

I love taking photos of benches. Not sure why. The parallel lines? Or maybe that they represent quiet, introspective moments?
Today is National Cheesecake Day and International Day of Friendship. Up early to clean and work. Rob took Chloe to get a bank account then both girls to breakfast at Waffle House. We then went to the Tiny House Festival. Long lines, overcrowded, and hot. We only went in a few of the houses before…
Five years ago, our family of four went through a major downsize. We moved from a three-story, three-bedroom, 3.5 bath, two car garage, storage room, giant house (in the absolute best place ever – nothing will ever compare to Pine Lake) to a downtown Decatur condo. Two-bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, a laundry room, and…
Today is National Chicken Wing Day and National Lasagna Day. Up early to clean, get caught up on all the things, and have breakfast with Chloe. I worked for a couple of hours, then went to lunch at Pastries a Go-Go with Kristen. After lunch, I worked for a little more, then went to the…
While on our out west, spring break, college tour trip, we spent the night between Portland and San Francisco along the coast in Bandon, Oregon. A sweet little town with a gorgeous beach! I’d love to return some day to spend little more time exploring the area.
Today is National Milk Chocolate Day. Up early to take care of things and work. Mid-morning, I headed to the Red Cross. Our pile was small, so it didn’t take long to get through everything. Back at home, I had lunch; Chloe went to the movies again. In the evening, Rob came home to go…
Today is Walk on Stilts Day and National Scotch Day and National Creme Brulee Day. Up early to work. Barbara took Chloe shopping. I ran errands, then spent two hours cleaning up around the house. I worked a bit more. Flannery came over, and we ran errands. When Rob got home, he took the girls…
Today is All or Nothing Day and National Coffee Milkshake Day and Parents’ Day. Slept in a little later, then made breakfast and packed up. Barbara called an Uber and we were off. The TSA Precheck line at the airport was short. They took our bags even though there was still room in the overhead…
Today is National Hot Fudge Sundae Day and National Dance Day and National Day of the Cowboy. Up early to take care of projects, have breakfast, and read. In the late morning, we took the bus downtown. I met Vero for lunch while Chloe and Barbara had lunch and went to the Exploratorium. We then…

Missing my Arabia terribly these days. Far too hot for me to want to be there at the moment, but the weather will turn cooler again soon.
Today is National Hot Dog Day and National Vanilla Ice Cream Day. Up early to read my magazine, take care of photo processing and other projects. We picked up around the house, then got ready for the baby shower. Chloe and I went over to Karen’s a little early to help with setting up, but…
