In this house
March 1, 2023
My wife has a simple wall hanging that she picked up on sale from Target or TJ Maxx or some home goods store. I’m not good at guessing prices, but I can’t imagine that she paid much for it, maybe $20 to $40. It’s about 10 x 20 long and hangs above our television set … More In this house

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
February 22, 2023
I dreamed I went to heaven. Stay with me here. The other night I dreamt that I got a personal invitation to check out heaven, sort of like one of those invites you get in the mail from a leasing agent or financial advisor.

We arrived at an AirBnB at about 4pm this past Friday afternoon to spend the long weekend in one of our favorite spots, Mutiny Bay on Whidbey Island.
