To all my nursing friends, and those who have them in your family, I say “Happy Nurses Week”. It may feel like it’s been jacked (stolen or robbed) from us, but it’s our week. Some nurses are being furloughed, some are told ‘we’ll celebrate in the fall’, some are working away from home, some are…

Skirt Girl: Fish bowl to Ocean
Hello world…the few that read this lowly blog where I come to share thoughts and experiences that happen as I go through ‘life’. It’s December 31, 2018, part of me is amazed that we are sitting on the crux of another new year. As previously stated in my last blog, a lot of things have…
Old…fat…learning to be
So many things have happened over the past two months. I had a birthday on April 19, I’m getting very close to the middle age status and have yet to accomplish much. I have a goal to lose weight before my next birthday, and it is proving to be a lot harder than anticipated. Since…
The age old question…”Are you married yet?”
Am I married, no. Do I want to be? Possibly, maybe, maybe not. On one level yes I would like to be married; I could come home from my crazy day at work and have someone to share my day with — the good, the bad, the funny, and the disgusting. On another level no…
Arizona – Day Six : Hoover Dam, Driving
Woke up this morning in Williams, AZ, a unique little town that has a train station which performs the Grand Canyon tours. We did breakfast at Cafe 326, a little bistro type cafe with their own roasted coffee. Sat down to my breakfast sandwich and tuned into morning service with West Point Ustream, watching the…
Utah – Day Four: Driving, Goblin
Finally nine hours of sleep…and it felt great!! We woke up in Castle Rock, just outside of Torrey this morning, a town smaller than Doniphan. It amazes me how unpopulated Utah is and how what little they do have available closes at 5:00. There are no stand alone fast food restaurants, they are included in…
Utah – Day Two: Zion National Park
First things first….Utah needs more pit stops. If a person has some extra Johnny On-The Spots and some free time to set them out, many a traveler would appreciate it…believe me!! This morning we got started a little late due to not getting to our motel until 1:00 am (Moutain Time). Of course my internal…
Statistics…everyone is one
Statistics. Dictionary.com defines it as “the science that deals with the collection, classification, analysis, and interpretation of numerical facts or data, and that, by use of mathematical theories of probability, imposes order and regularity on aggregates of more or less disparate elements”. Statistics bring items together that would normally never have a basis for comparison. …
Merry Christmas…annual catch-up (Holiday) letter from Leish!
Wow! That’s about all I can say about all the changes and things that have happened over the past year. How time flies when you’re having fun…or when you’re not…it just seems to go on by without notice until you have to put a date on a piece of paper, then it slams you in…
Feeling the whisper…looking for the booming overhead voice
At some point in our lives we all question God, His existence, His plan, and where He is though He is supposed to be omnipresent. We search, make excuses for what we are doing, and compare ourselves to others around us. Is it right? No. Does it happen more than once in a lifetime? Yes. …
