PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Back to School Fall 2012 Part 2

Note about Back to School: I had actually written the first part of this post up a few days before it "aired" and in the interim, someone had not only posted the pictures to Facebook, but to their blog as well. Thanks gang!

I'm happy to report that the Monkeys in Idaho also headed back to school in style.

Ms. Elle is much more styling than I ever was - what with the matching shades, sox, and accessories. What a pretty pretty pre-schooler!



Big sister Amber headed off to first grade also decked out in purple pastels. Again, so much more confident in pictures and poise than I was at her again. You go girl!
So proud of my girls - especially their Mama for surviving. It's a good thing that Papa took them out on the water from time to time to play.
