Happy New Year everyone!  I’ve been busy catch up on several Big Picture classes that started today (One Little Word, Move More/Eat Well, and Twelve- yikes it’s a lot for one day!)  Cody is, of course, at the deer lease- last day of deer season.  I used to say it’s the last day of hunting season- yes, I was naive.  NOW, oh no, hunting season is year round.  But it does mean it’s time to start thinking about the next...

 You may recall that I chose a word for 2011.  Home.  You might even recall that I participated in Ali’s 2011 One Little Word class.  To be honest, while I participated, I didn’t keep up with the album this year.  And, I really didn’t blog about Home as much as I wanted to.  But, the one thing that stayed constant was a focus on Home. In fact, so much of the focus was about Home- especially in the past 6 months that I...

It’s December Daily time again.  I enjoyed this project so much last year that despite life’s chaos right now, I’m going for it again.  It brought so much to the holiday season last year.  I knew I needed to keep it simple so I created a basic design to be printed at home on 4X6 photo paper.  This year is all about making these simple for me. I don’t have real internet access these days (hoping that changes next week,...

Tuesday morning around 7 AM, I saw a loose cow out in the field and had to share my experience with Cody via text. There wasn’t anyone around to share my view outside my window with. Me: LOL! I looked out the window and thought the big tree’s...

- I’m pedaling away at the Rec center (and feeling it.) Please forgive me if I’m not succinct. - I’m listening to the Field of Dreams soundtrack while some college “kids” play softball- the intramural fields are far from a field of dreams though. - in other views, I can see the ag building where Cody and I spent so much time in school. - I can also see the arboretum. I’m reminded of the summer it seemed I...

January’s Gone, but not my One Little Word.  Home.  In fact, I feel a bit renewed as a new month begins.  This month should mean less travel and more time at home.  I’m already tuning in to developing some better routines here at home.  Some observations from January: 1) I knew this year would I’d be spending more nights waiting for Cody to come home.  But bright and early New Year’s Day, my One Little Word and the...
