I cooked dinner last night—the first I’ve cooked since our anniversary on December 28th! It was an easy recipe, a new one that took minimal effort for amazing results. But just being able to cook dinner again felt like a huge milestone. I’m actually feeling much better. I had the…

The bougainvillea are in bloom right now, and there is this beautiful bank of plants along one of our regular walking routes. It’s very wild: untrimmed and growing up into the tree. So many bougainvillea plantings are of just one hue, but I love the riot of colors here. My…

Once upon a time, I was known for my chili. Not that my original version was anything special: it was onion, maybe some green pepper, a pound of ground beef, a can of tomatoes and another of kidney beans, and my “secret ingredient”—a package of French’s Chili-O. In grad school,…

It turns out that I’m not the spring chicken my brain tells me I am. It’s telling me, “time to get it in gear.” My body, on the other hand, is screaming, “not so fast!” My recovery from surgery hasn’t been as easy as I expected. As a result, I’ve…

Continue reading →: Two Weeks Late, Nothing Short (except pictures)
Although I grew up in a Pennsylvania Dutch family where New Year’s dinner was pork and sauerkraut—plus, when my grandmother hosted, stuffed pig stomach, I have come to love Hoppin John to celebrate the holiday. That’s what we’ve done most of the years since my parents passed, maybe also cooking…

I expected to post an old picture today, because it has not been a week for taking pictures. But Ken and I did a neighborhood walk earlier: short, slowly, and with me hanging onto his arm. It felt so good to be outdoors. We spotted a small Brunfelsia grandiflora bush…

First, I want to thank all of you who reached out with good wishes for my health. I had surgery Monday, went home on Tuesday, and although I’m sore, my symptoms are pretty much gone. I haven’t talked about what my issue was, but I’m going to share some of…

It may only be January 2nd, but Ken has already won this year’s husband of the year award. I’ve been dealing with a serious health issue this past week. In fact, I spent Tuesday and Wednesday in the hospital, and will be going back for surgery on Monday. While I…

Yesterday was our wedding anniversary—our 54th. For the past few years, I’ve done a Facebook post with pictures of Ken and me (although mostly Ken, because I’m terrible at taking selfies, and I’m always reluctant to ask a stranger to take a photo) from the past year. As I was…
