If I try to picture my brain, it is filled with banker boxes. Probably because I spend 20+ years of my life in a very paper heavy profession (only to join a more paper heavy profession) that required we hold all forms for 7+ years. Hence, I am very familiar with storing in banker boxesContinue reading “Oh, This is Sure Stirring Up Some Ghosts for Me*”

Playlist in My Head
I asked a friend about this (ok he is also very musical so it may have been a bit of deck stacking). When it is quiet, a song will start playing in my head and I asked if this happens to him also. And I think I have mentioned that most mornings when I wakeContinue reading “Playlist in My Head”
The Book Was Better
You have read the book… any book that talks about spreading someone’s ashes. Heck, I’ll make one up. Sandra found herself on the jagged edge of the shore, heart breaking but knowing she had to fulfill Robert’s last wishes to return to the sea that he loved … at times even more than his loveContinue reading “The Book Was Better”
Capturing the Moment
I have a friend who travels quite a bit for work and always goes with her camera. She has an eye for capturing the essence of the place in the simplest shots. I have no idea if she has had training or just a gift, but you can really feel the ambiance of where sheContinue reading “Capturing the Moment”
Religion of K
As an infant, my family was Methodist and I was baptized by sprinkling. I, of course, have no memory of this but it was always told with an air of great family legend, so I believe it. Fast forward and we became Baptist. In the Midwest, but with enough Southern influences that we had handContinue reading “Religion of K”
Taking to My Bed with Vapors
When I was fifteen, I worked as a docent in a historical home. We wore large dresses with hoops under them and took people on tours throughout the house spouting numerous facts and odd tidbits of information. In one of the bedrooms was a fainting couch and while we could not sit on any ofContinue reading “Taking to My Bed with Vapors”
Waiting
I am annoyingly early. Partially because it is just my nature to plan for like five different scenarios to arrive on my doorstep at any given moment. So, if we are to meet at 11, I will take into consideration where it is, how long it would take in normal conditions to get there, oddsContinue reading “Waiting”
The Art of the Obit
I have written two obituaries and have helped with three others… ok and have a general draft of my own. Granted it says things like KKdonk has checked out on DATE (pun on the library thing). What? At least it doesn’t say KKDonk was stamped discard today, DATE. And I have always looked at themContinue reading “The Art of the Obit”
Rocks in the Creek
When my brother and I were little, one of our outings was to go to a creek near our house and play with my mom. We had old sneakers we called Creeking Shoes and we would play for hours. Building damns or diverting the water flow for leaf boats by building with the rocks. IContinue reading “Rocks in the Creek”
Boards
I will let the cat out of the bag… I am older than the internet. And to be honest, I was not one of the first to jump on the crazy train. Shocking, I know. I didn’t AIM or even AOL. I didn’t have a Myspace nor did I fear for my freedom because ofContinue reading “Boards”
