My six-month gig as a plastic surgeon

Today I would've been sitting in the plastic surgeon's office.  Having a simple surgery on my face. But, nope, I canceled the appointment. Why did I do that you ask?

Evaluating self-made madness of an empty nest

As an empty nester mom, I often sit, looking at the wild yonder of our yard, and wonder if I'm doing the right thing.  Right by myself, being patient and letting my life, as it has changed, or evolved, take over and guide me onto the next stages, or if I've gone mad and am… Continue reading Evaluating self-made madness of an empty nest

A movie date with my dog

The best date ever is with a handsome older guy who loves me unconditionally. No offense to my other Mr. in my life. He's an older guy too, and a great catch at that, but he's not like going on a date with my dog. My dog, Copper, he's a charmer and he loves me… Continue reading A movie date with my dog
