2-12-17 Sucking at Romance From the time we’re old enough to slip our feet into patent leather shoes and twirl our dresses, we of the feminine persuasion have been groomed by everyone from Grandmas and maiden aunts to Lifetime TV and fairy tales for an addiction to romance. I know because I am a recovering … Continue reading Sucking at Romance – Confessions of a Romantaholic

Elegy for Minerva
Every day when I come home, I pull in the driveway and push the garage door button. Having an automatic garage door opener is one of the greatest luxuries in life, and I don’t know that I’ll ever get used to it. For the past year, I would push the button and count to five. … Continue reading Elegy for Minerva
Gratitude
I wanted to write a book this month filled with the abundance of gratitude I feel for so many good things happening in my life. And I started out with such a grand concept, just as I have in years before. I’d start of my birthday which conveniently falls on the first of November, and … Continue reading Gratitude
Trick or Treat – Of Fear & Humanity
10-10-16 Trick or Treat – Fear and Humanity Some people wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, sure that there’s a slimy, slithering creature lurking under the bed, just waiting for the hint of a toe to recklessly dangle off the edge of the bed, that safe-zone which keeps the … Continue reading Trick or Treat – Of Fear & Humanity
Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace November 16, 2016 The reason people choose one pet or another is always intriguing to me. Why someone opted for a pit bull over a Himalayan cat tells me a little about a person’s character, and sometimes it even makes me like the person a little more because I have that secret insight … Continue reading Amazing Grace
Day 13 – Fun in Funen
It’s our last full day in Denmark, so we decided to spend it together at Funen Village, which is a totally awesome place that is part museum, part farm, part play place. It takes you from house to house through old farms set in Funen 150 to 200 years ago. There were farmhouses, barns, … Continue reading Day 13 – Fun in Funen
Day 12 – Farm to Fork – Fresh from Odense
Today we went to the farmers’ market here in Odense. It’s only a few blocks from where we’re staying, but it was a cold and rainy day. Normally, that would make the trip seem like a hassle, but it didn’t seem to bother anyone else in Denmark, so it didn’t bother us, either. I guess … Continue reading Day 12 – Farm to Fork – Fresh from Odense
Kerteminde – A Bowl of Cherries – Day 11
The old saying is, “Life is just a bowl of cherries,” and today was definitely a bowl of very tasty cherries. We packed up the car, and everyone headed for Kerteminde, a small town on a fjord which was picturesque and very windy. It was so windy we had to do a tailgate lunch, but … Continue reading Kerteminde – A Bowl of Cherries – Day 11
Day 10 – Ballerinas, Borrowed Time, and the Fountain of Youth
Today was a big day in Odense, Denmark, at least for us. We spent the morning at the Train Museum, which was definitely a highlight for Dan and a labor of love for the rest of us, I think. There were loads of antique trains, and the museum was set up so that visitors could … Continue reading Day 10 – Ballerinas, Borrowed Time, and the Fountain of Youth
Day 9 – Castles, Cars, and Kids
Europe definitely has its share of castles, it seems. In Ireland, we toured one, saw a few others, and even spent the night in one. Other than Caesar’s Palace in Vegas, I’m not sure the United States has any castles. Mansions by the thousand, but no real, historical castles. Today, we packed up a picnic … Continue reading Day 9 – Castles, Cars, and Kids
