I know when the Culture Wars are getting me down and I'm wondering what I'm doing, this place and you, the people who make it up, remind me that I must be doing something right to have gathered such a bad ass group of individuals who just want to bake and garden and make stuff and for the most part, mind their own damn business.
I'm not sure I take the time to appreciate you all enough--because it never feels like enough--and although I've been insanely busy lately, just popping my head in and seeing you all interacting makes me smile at the end of a long day.
So thank you for your love and support and kindness. When I grabbed that Post-It in the Starbucks that said "remember why you started" it was to connect to people--and connect people. You here in this community are the reason I started and it's your encouragement that often keeps me going. It's like I'm running a marathon and I have no idea what the race is for or when the end is--but I'm grateful to have you cheering me on, running with me and splashing me with a cold dose of water when I need it.
Gonna talk about quitting Twitter, upcoming vacation, adult summer camp. Bring your questions!
This one's all over the place as I am in a mood. #WalkInsWelcome
We come up with another idea for a YouTube series. Because we don't have enough to do...
A little reminiscence on Cousin Maggie's 40th Birthday. We discuss that time Bridget almost became a stripper.
Hello new followers, I hope I don’t disappoint you. I want this place to feel like home, where we can escape the Thunderdome and process the world. Where we can post dog pics and recipes and book recommendations. Where we support each other as we get sober, lose weight, embark on new business opportunities, creative endeavors, relationships and travels. I want this to be your oasis of sanity and laughter in an increasingly mad world. A creative outlet where you can share your spirit with us.
We might not have any control over the news cycle—but we can control our habits and attitude. It all starts with us. And hopefully a little piece of that will start here.
Ahem! I KNOW you see the treats above me on the table. How many more clues do you need?
Still inspired by the film Fantastic Fungi, just for shits and giggles we took out the new (to us...actually 19 years old lol) "RV Sabe" up to the state forest on her maiden voyage....It drives like a beast...L. drove it and felt like she was in a semi rig...but she was grinning the whole time...by beast I mean the power....this thing will move and only has 34,000 miles on that big Chevy engine...
We kept grinning...there's something so American about driving through the woods in a self contained small home....You really get this "pioneer" vibe, like you're pulling a Conestoga wagon behind a pair of mules...at 70 MPH....
It's amazing how much life is on a forest floor....There was fungi everywhere we looked.....
