Well, that’s gotta be a first. I went to Winthrop and did not get ice cream. I’ve been coming to this place for over forty years, people. Can we just take note of how amazing that is?!

Road trip! That’s two of them in one month. (I went to Boise, Idaho earlier in the month to visit family.) This is at the Diablo Lake Overlook in Washington state. And this is why Ken will never get me to live anywhere else.

Well, that was super embarrassing. I was in the middle of teaching a piano lesson to sibling number two (out of three) when my left hand, wrist, and arm started hurting so bad that I could not concentrate on a thing. I took my Fitbit off and tried to ignore the pain. Finally, I told […]
