One of the things I love about driving to Osoyoos is seeing the changing scenery as we move towards the desert. (Osoyoos is a strange mix, having both desert and lush fruit-growing areas.) I try to snap pictures as we go, but most of them get discarded due to my unique knack of snapping just … Continue reading The Journey and the First Days

Black Lives Matter
So much is going on in the world, and yet work/family obligations necessarily keep me focused on my own little piece of it. I do scroll through the news feed on my phone every day, in horrified fascination, unable to look away. Black lives matter. Well, of course they do. How can it be that … Continue reading Black Lives Matter
RA Bloggers’ Reunion
I wasn't blogging or even reading blogs when a lot of the #RABlogReunion participants were blogging, but I have really enjoyed reading some of the older posts when I come across them. And I am certainly looking forward to taking a blogging tour! It seems funny to call myself a "new" RA blogger, when I've … Continue reading RA Bloggers’ Reunion
Inside/Outside
Last week was a stressful week. No time or energy to blog. What else is new? With perseverance, though, the crisis was averted. Still working 7 days per week, unfortunately.

Get your marshmallows on your stick, or maybe grill up something a little more substantial. I'd like to sing you a song about Paradise. Paradise, … Continue reading Welcome to My Campfire/A Tribute
Happy EastRA!
Hope your Easter basket is filled with joy, chocolate, and maybe a little Richard!
Discoveries in the Time of Coronavirus
This morning was nice... my husband brought me a cup of coffee in bed! A rare treat. We've been getting along pretty well as co-workers -- especially since we started using the trick I read on-line. We invent an imaginary co-worker to blame things on, as in, "That Felix! He left his coffee cup on … Continue reading Discoveries in the Time of Coronavirus
What I Did When I Was Supposed to Be Working on Friday
I had a hard time on Friday concentrating on work, while ideas were percolating about adapting some Billy Joel lyrics to fit our new reality. Once the lyrics had coalesced into a version I was happy with, I couldn't just leave it unsung -- I had to find a karaoke video of the original song … Continue reading What I Did When I Was Supposed to Be Working on Friday
