March 2025 Update
March 31, 2025For starters, we are finally back on Daylight Saving Time and I feel alive again. I was invited back to Pearl for a Spring Equinox celebration. I always love these parties. I burned anything I wanted to let go of from winter and set my intentions for the new season.

October 2024 Family Update
I did a lot of walking in October trying to rehab my torn calf muscle but the weather was lovely. I’ve been able to drill a little bit here and there but I’m both eager and scared to get back…
September 2024 Family Update
Welp, Skylar is officially an Eagle Scout. She was very nervous about her Board of Review but it went great! I think she was in disbelief for several days. She kept saying, “Mom, I’m an Eagle Scout.” I hope we…
August 2024 Family Update
After getting home from Europe, I had a post-vacation hangover something terrible. I barely remember the first week of the month. But then it was all hands on deck to get Skylar’s Eagle Project finished before she started back to…
July 2024 Family Update
So. Much. Happened. This. Month. Whew. For starters, I celebrated my Pickleball Anniversary. It was last 4th of July that I first touched a paddle and had zero clue what I was doing. I’ve learned so much over the last…
