Horsing Around
Horses are amazing! Smart, intuitive, curious and, like all animals, have individual personalities. My dear friend, Karen Swezey, caught this one acting silly on camera. Pretty much the best horse photo I’ve ever seen!
Love – “A Word”
Recently, I was given a “homework” assignment for a dear friend’s birthday. On his special day, he asked for … A WORD! That’s all he said. A WORD.
This was challenging for me. I struggled with it to be honest. Searching for words in the dictionary, checking websites, crossword puzzles and even talking to some of my big-brained friends and family. Although words are plentiful, nothing seemed to fit.
Old Friends are the Best Friends
There’s nothing like old friends. You know, those people who still like you even though you said or did something dumb, embarrassing or silly. Real friends understand and usually laugh with you vs. at you. I’m blessed to have many friends who I feel safe and comfortable “being me” around.
Happy 90th Birthday, Mom!
My mom turned 90 this spring. She has dementia, so a monster birthday party was out of the question. Instead, we threw her nine different birthday parties. One for every decade. Family and friends helped make them happen. We celebrated in smaller groups at people’s homes, on boats, in parks, restaurants and even a late night party in her room. She loved it and laughs every time I tell her she’s had nine parties. I took photos and plan to make a collage of all the festivities. Until then, I show her the pictures over and over and she finds great pleasure in that.
