All my life I've been afraid. You wouldn't know it because I cover up my fears with humor and what I hope is grace. Or maybe I don't cover it up that well and people have always seen right through me. I've spent my life being afraid that I'm too loud, too obnoxious, too messy.… Continue reading Unafraid

A little normalcy in this weirdly abnormal world.
I can hear the music in my head just looking at the picture up top. Dunh-DUUUUN-dun-dunnnnnnn ... dun-DUUUUUN-dun-dunnnn. Happy sigh. One of the many things I love about Harley is how much he loves Gone with the Wind. He passed that on to Bam-bam and we love throwing around lines from the movie. Having a… Continue reading A little normalcy in this weirdly abnormal world.
Ride in Peace
Last weekend when Harley and I went out for a ride, we were hoping to see some of our riding friends we haven't seen since last fall. As you all know, winter seemed to last forever and it was followed by a cold and wet spring, so we haven't ridden much since last fall and were… Continue reading Ride in Peace
Right Now
The problem with not writing very often is that so much has happened since the last time I wrote I don't know where to start. So I guess the best place to start is just right freaking now. Now. This very moment I am sitting in my cozy living room with Harley, watching the movie Logan… Continue reading Right Now

Sunday Funday

Gold. Those are the summer colors of Kansas. Green trees ... rolling hills ..... farmland. Until I rode through the landscape on a motorcycle I never realized how many colors of green there were here. If you were to draw a picture of what we ride through you would need every green crayon from… Continue reading Sunday Funday
Summer Celebrations
The 4th of July might just be my favorite holiday. Most of this comes from a lazy perspective: there is little to no decorating involved, no gifts need to be researched, bought and wrapped, you CAN clean your house, but because most of the festivities take place outside you don't HAVE to clean your house. … Continue reading Summer Celebrations
Back in the Saddle
There are boxes in our house again. But this time the boxes are moving and we aren't. Our baby grown-ups are moving out and starting their own lives. We call them our baby grown-ups, although we are talking about twenty-somethings. Our younger kids are already gone and the oldest is the last to go. One year ago… Continue reading Back in the Saddle
