Here I am again! ⋅ 67 ⋅
My husband and I are empty-nesters (finally! yaaaay!!), nearly sixty years old, and both of us work for our state's public school system. We live in the countryside in a rather humble little home with our dog, a sweet-natured chocolate Lab named Guinness. We are Wiccan and members of a large esoteric tradition called The Assembly of the Sacred Wheel. Much of our lives are filled with going to spiritual events; much is also filled by spending time with our family, and enjoying the outdoors.

Allergies! So THIS is what they're like!! ARGH! in A New Beginning

Stubbornness is a serious flaw that seems to run in my family of birth. Maybe stubbornness isn’t precise enough a term for it though. PRIDE AND STUBBORNNESS. Yep, those two seem to go together....

A very hard thing. in A New Beginning
It is hard for me to tell people “exactly what I think of them” when what I am thinking of them is not good. I have to be extremely angry in order to do it, and I rarely get that angry. I don’t...
