Mid-Life Meandering: October 2012
http://idahocat.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Bits and pieces of whatever I feel like sharing. Friday, October 26, 2012. The older I get, the less patience I have at certain times. Seems like when the issue is insignificant, I tend to lose my patience more quickly. Usually it's only apparent to me, or at least I try to keep it to myself. So mostly I find myself annoyed when I'm driving. Like today. I stopped for gas at one of our local stores. As I pulled back into the parking lot on my way to the street, the car ahead of me stopped. A s...I'm used ...

Mid-Life Meandering: Mushrooms, Anyone?
http://idahocat.blogspot.com/2015/06/mushrooms-anyone.html
Bits and pieces of whatever I feel like sharing. Sunday, June 14, 2015. A mushroom goes into a bar and sits down to order a drink. The bartender walks over and says, ' I'm sorry sir, but we don't serve your kind here.'. The mushroom sits back and asks ,' Why not? I'm a fun guy! Actually the mushroom wasn’t a fungi, he was a fungus. If he was one in a crowd of mushrooms then they would all be fungi. Scientific names confuse me. And they ruin my jokes too. What if I breathe in the spores? Could it kill me?

Mid-Life Meandering: July 2013
http://idahocat.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Bits and pieces of whatever I feel like sharing. Tuesday, July 2, 2013. Record temperatures all week, here in the southern part of Idaho where I live. Yesterday it hit 110 degrees. That's hot. Right now, at 7:00pm, it's 104. That's also hot. I spent time outside, weeding the flowerbeds. Why I couldn't wait for double digit temperatures is beyond me. That weather brings out happy birds chirping. It was so blooming hot that even the hornets gave up and crawled back wherever they came from. I can't go back ...

Mid-Life Meandering: March 2013
http://idahocat.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Bits and pieces of whatever I feel like sharing. Friday, March 1, 2013. Once in awhile I would love to travel back in time to when I was a baby – not to stay for very long— but just to revisit what it was like to be swaddled in a cozy towel after a nice, warm bath. To be held by someone who loves me and promises always to keep me safe and warm. So what made me stop everything and do a little daydreaming about this? Don't we all need this? Human touch and unconditional love deeper than the ocean? Knowing ...

Mid-Life Meandering: December 2012

Bits and pieces of whatever I feel like sharing. Wednesday, December 5, 2012. Light at the End of the NaNo Tunnel! Please, someone remind me to never, ever , EVER attempt to finish a novel like that again. In order to get my word count, I had about three hours of sleep in the last 48 hours, and I ended up writing pure narrative of my story just so I could get it done. And see where it takes me. Now I've put it all down in writing, so it will really be difficult to neglect this piece of work. No matte...

Mid-Life Meandering: October 2014
http://idahocat.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Bits and pieces of whatever I feel like sharing. Monday, October 13, 2014. I admit it. I am sometimes easily distracted. Especially when I hit a snag in writing, or I've been editing for too many consecutive hours. Or when what I'm doing has become monotonous or tedious and I need a break. I've noticed if I stay in. The other day I was on a roll, figuratively speaking. The words were pouring out of my head and my fingers had trouble keeping up with the flow. It was great! However, something was amiss.

Mid-Life Meandering: April 2013
http://idahocat.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Bits and pieces of whatever I feel like sharing. Thursday, April 11, 2013. Good Neighbors, Annoying Landscaping. Today, the universe confirmed that I was in the right place, at the right time. I am fairly independent, preferring to try to do things myself rather than ask others for support or help. But sometimes, people just need to step in. And I need to let them. Two of my neighbors, Joy and Erika, were out talking, and they came over to look at the mess. It wasn't long after that Erika's husband R...

Bits and pieces of whatever I feel like sharing. Saturday, October 26, 2013. My children are adults now. Cera, my youngest, my baby, is twenty-five years old. How did that happen so quickly? On the other side of the park were snakes. Big snakes like pythons and boa constrictors. All were non-venomous (or so we were told) and accompanied by their handlers. It wasn't long before the Girl Scout party invaded the snake party, and it was an amazing sight. These preteen girls were petting the reptiles, making ...
