    2019-05-21 Discovering True North

    Yesterday we drove to the edge and walked to the edge and looked out beyond the edge to see what we could see. At the edge, in that quiet space of nowhere and solitude and cold and uncertainty, I thought I heard music. As I walked, in my too-big rubber boots and three layers of…

    2019-05-20 Nebraska Day 1 – Road Trip Shenanigans

    Let’s see, what we I can remember now that we have made it to our Cozy Econolodge Motel (Room 133) with Kitchenette in Lovely Valentine Nebraska?… We got on the road about 8:30AM, just as we had planned and headed west out of town via Maple street, past Elkhorn and Valley and Fremont and North…

    2019-05-20 Love the One You’re With

    Namely Nebraska, my current home state. What DOES one do when they’ve recently been released from the responsibility of work and find themselves with a week that’s also without the typical parental requirements? .. They plan a road trip! (Of course 😉) This little adventure we are heading out on this morning will take us…

  • 2019-02-08 Friday Mini Road-Trip

    I’ve been pushing myself this week to get as much done before today so Jim and I can go on a little road trip. He is at work now and I’m doing that cardio thing I do but late morning we are going to cut out of town and head north-west. Yeah, the temps are…

  • 2018-09-06 Quick Trips

    In the last two days I traveled (via car) to Rochester Minnesota and back. I was given a quick tour of the Mayo campus and also of the town. It’s surprisingly a small town and the Mayo thing is at the center of it and pretty much all they have going on. I was actually…

  • 2018-07-30 Waking Up in KC

    I do so love a good road trip and KC is just the perfect distance away for me to get my fix AND end up in a city with so much to do. Historically there’s been a wide range of reasons for visiting. Great wolf lodge with the kids, worlds of fun and oceans of…

  • 2018-07-29 How is it Still Sunday?

    Right now I’m sitting on a bed in a hotel room with two teenagers that just had soda and habitually stay up past 3am. It’s 9:30 pm and I’ve been in 4 states today, driven back and forth across the Missouri River several times, and went 75mph on a roller coaster, speeding toward the ground.…

  • 2018-07-13 Friday the 13th 😱

    Don’t be scared.. nothing terrifying is going on – except .. MFA Residency starting!!! 😮🤔😃 Of course my period also started today cuz it wouldn’t be a party without THAT happening. Cramps worse than usual and I’m self medicating with ibuprofen and iced vanilla latte. In true procrastinator fashion I didn’t start packing until today.…
