Twinkies: A Big Delight in Every Bite
Twinkies! Can we talk? I’m eating a Twinkie. Really. Why? Because I had a craving for a Twinkie. I haven’t eaten a Twinkie in years and when I saw a box on the grocery shelf, I thought, “I must have that Twinkie.” So bought it, I’m eating it, and it’s good. Kind of good. In … Continue reading Twinkies: A Big Delight in Every Bite

Cow Tipping In Topeka
This past weekend I made a trip to Topeka, Kansas. As I left the Kansas City airport, I noticed a lot of gift shops carrying t-shirts and hoodies that read, “Nothing Tips Like a Cow.” Really? Honest to God, I had never, ever considered tipping a cow. My friends on Facebook were somewhat useful when … Continue reading Cow Tipping In Topeka
A Dog Breed For Everyone!
Cole and I keep a list of the different breeds of dogs that have camped with us over the years. Last night we updated our book and reminisced about some of our odder Happy Campers. Sybil was our first and only Xoloitzcuintli. Her family moved to Portland, Oregon and we were sad to see Sybil … Continue reading A Dog Breed For Everyone!
We, The People
We, the People. While Odd and politics certainly have a lot in common, I would have probably steered clear of this post, if the blog post, Tsk, Tsk Mr. President. Are You For Us Or Against Us? on They Call Me Jane, had not riled me up and poured me a cup of courage. I heard … Continue reading We, The People
Ashes to Vinyl-Joe a Groovy Kind of Guy
So many ways to go … When Joe’s dad died, Joe called me from Florida and asked me to talk to the cremation parlor. He felt confused. I understood immediately when I asked the employee helping me what hours they were open, and she answered, “We are open 24/7, but never on the weekends and … Continue reading Ashes to Vinyl-Joe a Groovy Kind of Guy

Happy Michaelmas! Courage,Initiative,Steadfastness
Happy Michaelmas! “It is true that spring is fair, and it is a fine capacity of the human soul to perceive the beauty of the spring, the growing, sprouting, burgeoning life. But to be able to perceive also when the leaves fade and take on their fall coloring, when the animals creep away — to … Continue reading Happy Michaelmas! Courage,Initiative,Steadfastness
Deer in my Chicago Neighborhood!
Deer? I live in the city … of Chicago! We have deer in our forest preserves and coyotes in our cemeteries, and sometimes a cougar drops by-not my neighborhood by close enough-but we seldom have deer in our front yards. My beagle, Scooby, went crazy at the window. After failing to hush him, I gave in … Continue reading Deer in my Chicago Neighborhood!
