Last week I ended my blog post with the phrase “right as rain” and wondered aloud (or in print anyway) where that phrase came from. It got me thinking about other idioms and how they came to be…what were the original meanings? For answers, I turned to my friend Google. Today I share Google’s wisdom…
I’m baaack… Well, sort of. As you may or may not have noticed, I took a couple weeks off from blogging. Hubby and I took a long-awaited and much-needed trip to Mazatlan, Mexico. We saw old friends we’ve been missing since COVID restricted travel. And made new friends, we hope to see more of in…
Here we are again, nearing the end of another month. Admittedly, I’m a week early for the WOTY Link-up, but since I plan to be on vacation next week…connecting with friends I haven’t seen for two years…and with the ocean, which I also have not seen for two years…I thought I’d write my April word…
Happy spring! And not a moment too soon. Of course, as I write this, my lawn is covered with snow. Welcome to spring in Utah.

I took the leap! After talking about my upcoming retirement for six years, I took the leap and announced a date to my team. #retirement #leapoffaith #SoWhatNowWhat
We’ve come to the end of another month, which means it’s time to check in with our Words of the Year…if you’re into that kind of thing. And hey, if you haven’t chosen a word yet, and you’d like to, it’s never too late! Choose one today! You may recall my word for 2022 is…
Thank you Sweet Tooth Fairy… …for this adorable and delicious red velvet cupcake. Looking at it made me smile. Eating it made me do the happy food dance I learned from my mother. Which reminds me…thank you Mom for teaching me to appreciate the small things in life, like good food. Speaking of which… Thank…
