Welcome to my weekly update for January 4, 2026! To start on a somber note, the husband of one of my best friends passed away just after Christmas. He was only 46. Life is precious, so hug your loved ones tight. And if you’re so inclined, send some caring thoughts and/or prayers my friend’s way, please […]

Welcome to my weekly update for December 28, 2025! I hope everyone who celebrates the holidays had a great time and received some bookish goodies and everyone else had a good week! I should probably change the title of these posts to quarterly updates. *sigh* My husband and I have been in north […]

Welcome to my weekly update for September 28, 2025! Thanks for all the well wishes on my last post on September 7! I’m mostly over that cold but I still have an intermittent, lingering cough. I’m so tired of it! Anyway, since I last posted, my husband finished up his work contract in Glenwood […]

Welcome to my weekly update for September 7, 2025! I’ve been fighting a cold all week. Yuck. I tested for covid twice and I was negative both times but I just can’t quite kick this thing to the curb. I don’t tolerate any cold or sinus meds well so I just have to suffer through every sniffle, cough […]

Welcome to my weekly update for August 28, 2025! My husband is on call to respond for emergencies at the hospital where he works this weekend (just a normal part of his role), so we can’t get out and celebrate the holiday weekend. You would think that means some good reading time for me but as luck […]

Welcome to my weekly update for August 10, 2025! Why, hello there! I have disappeared for five months, as seems to be my habit in the summer. We get busy exploring wherever we are and other things, including my blog, fall by the wayside. When I last posted on March 23, we were near San Diego […]

Welcome to my weekly update for March 23, 2025! It was a fairly quiet week. We went to the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Japanese Friendship Garden and Museum in San Diego last weekend. It was way more crowded than we would have liked but the garden is always beautiful. Then on Thursday evening we […]

Welcome to my weekly update for March 16, 2025! I’ll keep this as apolitical as possible, but I wanted to let you know that I recently used the 5 Calls app to contact my Congressman and Senators about an issue. I cannot adequately express how much I hate calling strangers but I decided that I need […]

Welcome to my weekly update for March 2, 2025! My husband is on call for emergencies at the hospital this weekend so I’m taking it easy around our camper. It’s cool and cloudy anyway, so it’s perfect for staying indoors. He didn’t have to work Thursday so we decided to spend the day at Disneyland […]

Welcome to my weekly update for February 23, 2025! This was a pretty quiet week so I started sorting through tax paperwork. *sigh* My husband and I did go to Old Town San Diego for a couple of hours one afternoon. We hadn’t been there before so we had a good time looking around all the shops and […]
