ROCK THE WALL

Rock climbing takes serious endurance, but to start you just need to face the wall.

My sister and I have had climber’s blood in us since we were born. Our father climbed all the way up the summit of Boundary Peak in Nevada (that’s 13,143 ft.) with two blow up bananas to get a photograph for me, his Hannah Banana, when I was one. And while I inherited my father’s photography skills, my sister took to the mountains with his love of a challenging climb.

How To Stay Young – No Matter Your Age!

May your heart always be joyful. And may your song always be sung. May you stay forever  young.  ~Bob Dylan

The other pile is for items in the following categories – Don’t fit. Don’t want. Don’t like. Don’t wear. (more…)

Dr. King

A few days ago my mother and I visited our town’s recently restored Scott Joplin mural and it got me to thinking:  My goodness, we’ve come a long way. Once upon a time blacks were only seen fit to be nothing more than entertainers and servants. Even Scott Joplin, the father of ragtime entertained at places where other blacks weren’t even allowed. That’s just the way things were in the late 1800’s and people were used to it. (more…)

Logging Off

Happy winter everyone! I had my very first white Christmas. We had a few snow storms in the past few weeks leaving snow and ice all over. Big difference from the beach weather, which I am used to. I am loving the seasons changing so much.  (more…)
