Journeys – part one
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about traveling and journeys. Our trip to Dublin a few weeks ago began this line of thinking, I suppose. That trip was short, just nine days, and filled with family, and bangers and mash, and tours of the Guinness Storehouse, staring at bog bodies in the museum, and reveling … Continue reading
Newgrange
The word druid might conjure up for you thoughts of mystical, hooded people who perform cultic kinds of rituals and sacrifices among the standing stones in Ireland and England. In reality, that view of druids comes from a ‘Celtic revival in the 18th and 19th Centuries’ and is probably a gross misrepresentation of who and … Continue reading
Ireland, part one
Now that I’m back in my own bed and the jet lag is history, I can relive our Ireland trip with the hundreds of pictures I took and the memories we made. We saw remarkable things and experienced so much it is impossible to talk about it all. I think over the next few days, … Continue reading
Leaving the Mainland
Did you miss me? I haven’t blogged in a couple of weeks, we’ve been too busy enjoying our last few days on the mainland before we head home to St. Croix. It’s always an interesting transition, we love being in Wyoming so it’s sad to be leaving while we are also ready to get home … Continue reading
Reality Mirrors Fiction – for reals!

Or, as in this week, my novel The Archer’s Perspective. Let me explain. The Archer’s Perspective begins when the main character, her name is Piper, is riding her four-wheeler in … Continue reading
Fighting My Phone Addiction
When I was growing up, anytime the phone on the wall rang, everyone would scramble to answer it. Being the youngest of three, I didn’t often get calls, but even so I ran to try to get it first. It didn’t matter if we were eating dinner, or watching TV or in the middle … Continue reading
Ponder This – by Karl Coulson
NOTE: For today’s blog, we have a guest writer, my husband Karl. Thanks Honey! There are some things that I do which make me shake my head and wonder, why? As ya’ll know, donna kay and I are spending the summer in our fifth wheel – sometimes camping in the mountains, sometimes in Encampment parked … Continue reading
…and our vacation from retirement ends for this year!
We are going home on Monday! The St. Croix airport opened on Thursday, and we have reservations for Monday, so God willing, we will be home by late afternoon. Yay! Since our flight to Miami leaves at 6 am and we’ll be traveling all day, I’m posting my blog today. We’ve spent four months and … Continue reading
Holding on
There is so much to be thankful for. Life every day is a gift. The fact that our friends and neighbors and our house on St Croix are fine, though battered and bruised, is a blessing beyond belief. The fact that we just lived a wonderful four months of travel and friends and family and … Continue reading
