The DP has challenged us to describe our best friend, how we met, what makes for a best friend. I am blessed, I have several best friends forever (BFFs) or as close as can be considered forever. I am mortal, you know. My first best friend was Virginia Maria and I was five and she […]

Just about a year ago, I wrote a post on what I would do with a plot of land. I remembered it today in light of what my friend has experienced since her heart surgery. While I’ve posted the link, I’m going to reprint it here. It was titled: Plot of Earth – Do Not […]

I was off the grid today. A friend I hadn’t truly seen face to face or spoken with in close to 30 years made a special drive up to see me from Oregon. We spent the day talking non-stop, as though no time had elapsed and we were just catching up on news that covered […]

Today is the one year anniversary of my Cousin Jen’s passing. I know I have written of this lovely woman before and yet, I went searching my archives and didn’t get the hits I expected. Is this because she is so much in my heart and so alive in my memories that I just think […]
