I missed the semi-colon preceding “French; retirees in spandex gossiping about college reunions.” and thought “Dang! That’s a very specific observation!”

My current obsession is corn chowder; one with, one without chipotle peppers.

#igivearod is the gift that keeps on giving. Received a packet of thank you’s from one of the classrooms we supported (snacks for the students) last year. Love the colors, the artwork and - bonus! - a little Gwich’in thrown in! #uglydogs #donorschoose

A colorful array of thank you notes, written in child-like script. Comments include “Thank you for the snacks you donated.”, “Mahsi Cho! Thank you!” “Thank you for donating snacks to us and have a good year and day”, “Thank you for donating snacks. I really enjoy them. I think it’s fair if I/we thank for these amazing snacks that we get to eat if we do our work.“ (then a stick drawing of a smiling figure), “Thanks for them munchies. I am very thankful for those snakes my bros.” and “Thank you for doneting the sack.”

Just about every major medical center in my town (Seattle) has grief support services. I’d be amazed if Portland wasn’t the same. They are usually open to the public and free. Example: www.providence.org/locations/or...

Grief Support Groups

Bereavement support groups consist of sharing your experiences coping with grief as well as learning about the grieving process from a trained facilitator.

More & more, I’m saying out loud “Oh, they wouldn’t…” as I finish my guess. And they do.

You are kind to consider these pups. Sounds like it could be healing for the dogs & the humans.

A roundish bottle, full of delicious looking amber liquid, is fresh out of its mailing box. The label bears an image of an otter on a sled and the words “Otter Run Maple Syrup.”

Seems like not tracking how many followers one has (or does not) would also be a good step towards detaching from the cacophony.

Do you know I Draw Slow? Irish folk band that sounds more bluegrass/American roots than Irish, to my ear. I can singalong with their “Apocalypso” for miles!

First ever female student to take gas engine repair at my high school (1973). We were required to take some “vocational ed”and I already knew how to sew & cook (the usual classes girls took).
