Oh my that act by The Devil of Cumana sounds terrifying! I can understand why it would leave an indelible mark on you. I loved reading about your coffee shop experience, and hearing about life in Venezuela,

How awesome! Welcome back. I have taken breaks here and there as well, sometimes just slowing my activity to a crawl. But I have also been working to ramp back up. I don’t want to over-promise and then

That’s wonderful that you reconnected with your family that way. How great that you all love basketball! Maybe a new Saturday tradition has been born.

Yes, life can move too quickly indeed! I am finding antidotes as well — physical activity, nature, and time with friends and family. These help to make each day distinct, and make me feel centered and

Congrats on finding a way to build endurance on your runs. That sounds like a great technique!

Ha ha ha… what happens if you can’t find your way out of the corn maze?? I used to take my kids to the ones here in MN and they wondered the same thing! There’s one here that has an annual theme and there’s

This is a lovely story, @popurri! I just realized this one escaped our attention. The dynamic between the sisters and how they care for the plant — and of course the situation the sister finds herself

I love how you intersperse commentary with your photos! I blog that way too, and I enjoy creating a narrative that carries through. I really enjoyed your photos of fog and mist. So dreamy.

Oh my gosh. That's great that you guys play, @silvertop! I'm trying to play regularly two days a week. It's definitely addicting!

Thank you for sharing that, @offgridlife! I'm going to try it. I take photos and videos ALL the time. I've just been nervous about putting my stuff out there on YouTube... I thought I'd have to be on camera,

Hi Seki1. It is all the rage in the U.S. Think of tennis, but on a tiny court, with a lightweight ball (as seen in the picture). The lines for a pickleball court can actually be drawn on top of the lines

Thank you!

Thank you, @silvertop. I do love the cosmos!

Yes, exactly. And it makes me so happy that they love my garden!

Thank you!

That is SO cool, @offgridlife! I need to learn how to do that. I love a side gig that actually makes money, especially if it's doing something you love. Do you use a GoPro?

It's probably because you have longer legs, @silvertop. If she "walks" and you "stride" she will get more steps. 😄

What an emotional roller coaster you're on! May your aunt be released gently from the challenges she has experienced in this life and move on to the next one in peace. Your reflections on her life really
