According to Wikipedia - An isolation tank, sensory deprivation tank, float tank, float pod, float cabin, flotation tank, or sensory attenuation tank is a water-filled, pitch-black, light-proof, soundproof environment heated to the same temperature as the skin, developed in 1954 by John C. Lilly. BEFORE I’ve been fascinated with this idea – of floating in such a tank – for a very long time. … Continue reading Floating
Blog thoughts are a funny thing. Sometimes I go off on a rant about something, and then never think about that thing again. Apparently venting about it lets me release my thoughts into the universe and move on. But sometimes I dwell on a subject, doing something about it, or more likely, overthinking it. I … Continue reading Thanks for Asking – Blog Updates
Before social media, smart phones, laptops, and sticky notes, you were not my other half (MOH). You were you and I was me. And even though the first 'selfie' had not yet been taken, we turned our camera around, aimed in the general direction of our faces, and took our picture. We got married, bought … Continue reading Happy Anniversary My Love: our story told in pictures
I was working on my journal of 1000 Things You Don't Know About Me and came to the question, "What's the most daring thing you've ever done?" Well I'm not particularly daring, and answers will most definitely vary widely depending on an individual's definition. Our local ice cream shop has a sundae called the Dare … Continue reading What’s Up Next For You?
Recently, a friend sent me a picture of an adult 'fort' filled with books and said, "I don't know if you ever had a fort of any kind, but I had MANY. We need a blog about forts!" I'm not always able to blog about a presented topic, but Wow! The memories flooded back. And … Continue reading “Wanna Build a Fort?”
So far this year, I've received in the mail, more notices than I can count, soliciting me to renew my People magazine subscription. These 'best' and 'last chance' offers started in January and have continued throughout May. I haven't responded to any of them, as I've been considering not renewing my subscription. And then today, … Continue reading Well, People, We’ve Had a Good Run
It seems I’m always in a hurry these days. Rushing to get out the door in the morning, hurrying through my day that never seems to have enough hours in it, and trying to squeeze in one more task before I go to bed. This week I made a quick run to Meijer during my … Continue reading Breakdown at the Cart Corral
We had to say goodbye to our little Midnight this week. He was fourteen. He had been gradually failing, unable to safely navigate a flight of stairs anymore. His legs would slowly splay when he stood on the kitchen tile. Nothing major, but the signs of the passing time were there. I was not ready … Continue reading Midnight – A Dog’s Life
It seems like a lot of people have home security cameras these days. According to Strategy Analytics (whoever they are) 16% of U.S. households have video doorbells. That’s an estimated 20 million homes and growing. We have a video doorbell at our front door, and a video only camera at the back of our house. … Continue reading On the Inside Looking Out
Have you seen the childhood progression pictures? You know the ones, where the self-disciplined and focused parent takes a picture of their child every year in the same place, next to the same thing, and you see how much Little Johnny has grown and matured each year? Neat idea, right? Easter 1993 When my son … Continue reading Max and the Crayola Bunny: an Easter Tale
