Olympic Exploration
The days are drawing near for a wonderful time exploring-learning-capturing the beauty that abounds in our neighborhood. I’m listening to Clarence White on Pandora radio in honor of our physical loss. What uplifting yet penetrating music! Lube and oil change in the morning. Then put the camper back on the truck. We’ll leave early on …
Calm before the Storm?
Wishing we were done with the Avalanche of TCGAW (ThingsCan’tGetAnyWorse) that has been plaguing us the past few years. The inauguration of the Biden/Harris team and being fully vaccinated for Covid are giving me a boost of much needed hope. We are still in the avalanche but improving steadily. I wish I had a quick …
Three Weeks to Explore
Lessie has three weeks off once school finishes this year.

Wee Duh Peep Hole
The Tumultuous 2020 has wrecked havoc on the minds and souls of US Inhabitants of the World. I only know of my own ways of coping. Being a cocooner definitely causes too much internal pressure. Think of grandma’s pressure canning risks. The body is really no different. The title of this piece is intentionally provocative, …
PoliCovid Coma Shattered
January 8, 2021 Time keeps marching along. Events continue their avalanche of “things couldn’t get any worse.” Our leader, the leader of the Insurrection of 01/06/21. Are you confused yet? You are not alone.
Cabin Fever #8
August 17, 2020 Lots has been happening. We took a “honeymoon” week trip traveling to Florence and back. We stopped by the Reynolds part of the family in Bend, had a nice dinner with Tom, Carla, Callie and Danea. We slept in the camper overnight and headed off to the coast early in the morning. …
Cabin Fever #7
July 11, 2020 It appears the pandemic is going to be lingering longer than is necessary. DEPLORABLE, pretty much sums it up for me. [backlight album=”446692″ columns=”5″] I’m going to use WordPress to start rebuilding my 42itus.com website. It was one of my first attemtps at building a website. I mostly used it to test …
