YOU have been invited to Anne’s 81st!

Published on August 10, 2010

Here are a few memories from Anne’s party. A nice luncheon was served from Whole Foods along with an Edible Bouquet (instead of a cake!). Anne enjoyed the attention and the ladies at the home chimed in on the festivities!

My Bi-annual Chore

Published on May 8, 2010

In May of 2008, I blogged about my last Can O Worms cleaning. Obvious that it was time once again, I set aside time to complete the chore today. It has now been eight years that we have been vermicomposting. It seems like a natural part gardening to compost and to vermicompost. Our garden [...]


Getting Back on the Horse

Published on January 2, 2010

In two days, it will be one year since my skiing incident of 2009. Today, we went to Badger Pass and tried me out again. I have to say, as I walked to the beginning of the trail, I felt alot of anxiety. I looked at the snow and wondered if I could really do [...]


2009! Soon to be gone!

Published on December 22, 2009

I have decided to take this [...]


Ten days left:YTT

Published on November 11, 2009

Made it past the big hurdle of presenting an asana (pose) to the class while it was video taped. Afterward, there was an extensive dissection of your “performance”. The poses were given by a random draw. I got a very easy pose (standing backward bend). Even so, alot was expected of each of us. Had [...]


YTT, Week 2

Published on November 3, 2009

I didn’t even have a minute to post last week, the first week of training. The reading and classes took up every non-sleeping moment. Week 2 is also full, but I found a few minutes to come up for air.
I knew that this program was going to have a spiritual component. I didn’t bargain for [...]
