This may be no big deal for people who have experienced a whole lot of moves and know how to deal with the variances, but I’m struggling with some of the changes. Bigotry vs. acceptance There are parts of me that are country girl. I love critters and I love gardening. On the urban side […]
Or any of us for that matter. The day started out normally. First thing every morning after I get dressed and get my contacts in the dogs expect to be let out for a quick pee and then breakfast. I let them out the back sliding door and as always Ellie pees faster and is […]
Before it was how much I hate the moving process. Now I’m worried it’s about the actual move itself. I realize it’s painful to sell the house that I loved so much. The house that was so much me in so many ways. The house that held the last memories of Josh. The house I […]
Enough of the home repairs and unpacking. Today is crystal clear and in the low 50’s with high’s in the 20’s on their way. We needed to get outside. I have 2 state parks less than 5 miles away — Cove Lake and Cumberland Trail. Go another 5 miles and I can hike Norris Dam […]

I have to admit I probably doomed this trip from the start. I was going down to see if I wanted to live someplace like Panama and I will never make that the object of a trip ever again. I have to go places that have things I want to see and do and if […]
We stopped for breakfast and box lunches at the Panaderia and were at Coiba Dive Center at 8:00 AM. I had not been in the water to dive since March 2009 and I managed to somehow convince myself that I would be scared and forget what to do because it had been too long since […]
Scot had told the people at Surf Point that we would want the 2 hotel rooms they had, but we arrived late in the afternoon and they had already rented them to other people. Scot and Juli took the double bed room in the hostel and JT, Scot’s son, had already planned to stay in […]
When I walked into Albrook it was jammed with people and the noise level was cacophonous. The ticket offices were off to the side and there were 2 going to Santiago and I had no idea which to take. I couldn’t hear the people who were yelling behind the glass but finally figured out they wanted […]
