I can't stop thinking about Harry...

It's spectacular.  Stunning, really.  I've seen it from airplanes, I've watched video of its eruption-but I'd never driven to see Mount St. Helens up close.  While the mountain itself was breathtaking-it's not the view that I can't stop thinking about two days later.  It's Harry Truman.

In her own words; my grandma's final "words of wisdom"

I've never written about my grandma.  I couldn't even say the eulogy at her funeral.   The reason?  I've never been able to come up with the words to explain how much I loved her, how much she meant to me, how much I miss her every day.

I'm back...with one of my favorite things

Happy spring!!  I cannot believe I haven't written since November.  Where does time go?  While May Day protests are underway downtown...I decided it was a good time to get out of dodge for the afternoon.
