My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...

December to New Year 2024

We celebrated in style with a PJ New Year’s Eve party at Dahlman Cellars’ Winery. It was a great get together with good food, inspiring people, amazing wine, and trivia games to bring in the New Year. It was the first grown New Years we have had in a long time! I like meeting people but it makes me so nervous so most of the time I bale out.  2023 flew by. It was an extremely hard one as I tried to manage my mom and dad’s finances, our home, and watching us almost lose my dad several times to sickness.  2024 should be better. I want to connect more this year with friends, get back into Keto, exercise, save, pay taxes, and prepare for England/Ireland 2025. I want to blog more. I need to document our lives and Charlie’s last few years at home!

Living In a Cardboard Box

Reason for post name: Charlie found out we were going to a tiny home so she kept asking for 24 hours prior to going “if we were excited to go live in a box!” Mark of course ran with it and played her the song “Living in a cardboard box.”  I will admit, I am a lot. Anytime there’s a holiday, extra time off, or downtime I want to go. I want to explore. I want to Eat Pray Love.  Sometimes I want to do those things on my own and sometimes, well  most of the time, I want to do them with family. Lately I have wanted to go alone and have been jealous that my sister went away. I have had a lot of feelings, interactions, dreams, and stress that has been eating at me. I haven’t felt at peace for a bit of time and sometimes I feel like I am going to melt with all the high levels of stress. I don’t know why but on the outside I am playing it cool so I am not sure of anyone realizes how busy my brain is. It takes a lot to quiet it. Most of the time it takes wine or lots of alone time ...
