Wednesday was my day off and luckily it was one that fulfilled all areas of my life–I was needing that. I was able to take the last digital captures, up in Ishpeming, needed for a project that can now be invoiced. I wrote my column for Health and Happiness. I was able to organize my [...]

My Birthday–What will I do in the next 45 years?
Posted in Community, Weather, Winter Destinations, tagged Al Quaal, Ishpeming Michigan, Kim on snow tube, Photos by Mike Hainstock, Snowtubing, Upper Peninsula Winter Fun on January 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I spent today as a youthful 45-years-old. I went snow tubing, snow shoeing, went home and made grill cheese and Campbell’s Vegetarian Vegetable soup. I had energy and smiled. Mike took these photos and I will have more to follow later tonight and tomorrow on both blogs. I have a baby chocolate cake to go [...]

This is the library you dreamed of when you announced you’d be an author. Your books would be on a shelf and a librarian would lead children to your book. That child would find a snug corner to read your book. The snows would snow. That child would be so far beyond drifts and ice. [...]

Artic Blast!
The skies are blue crystal today and the air hurts to breathe. But it being my day-off, I have big big plans. A 1 p.m. meeting with my employer to discuss my new”status as full-time. Off to the YMCA for some indoor exercise and followed by a few quick photos of Superior. Maybe even [...]
What is Sometimes Hidden
Posted in Ordinary Grey Day, Winter Confines, tagged finding hope in winter, winter rants, winter whining on January 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
What is sometimes hidden can include your “hope” in winter. My hope (renewed) came in the form of a borrowed car and pulling into the driveway (at home) from the opposite direction. I caught sight of the backyard bird feeders, and a nest hidden among the thick lilacs. These sights pulled me into the cold [...]

I have been a little buried by work, freelance assignments and with no car things have been even more difficult to accomplish both this blog and The Dailies are suffering.
On Wednesday I took the bus! Holy Wah. I left the house and grabbed the “South” bus which headed up into downtown Marquette then I was [...]
Benched
Posted in Emotion, Ordinary Grey Day, Winter Destinations on January 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Sad that I cannot visit Ishpeming today and sit in my favorite park with one of my companions and watch the frozen world of the Upper Peninsula. I am benched. Home.
Winter is rough on cars and mine has blown a head gasket. The expense is great. As many of you know I do home health, [...]
