I used to love looking at the world below during air travel, but since my vision loss, my ability to see what is out the window is limited to the clouds (the white) and the sky (the blue). In the case of the photo above the title of this story,…

I once again have led my long-suffering husband to new treasures along the highways and byways of this great country. I never tell the poor man where we are going, I navigate us to the address, telling him to be on the lookout for anything “unusual.” Mister Rain is not…

The Seattle Seahawks drumline, Blue Thunder, is a talented team of musicians who incorporate rock and roll drumming with drum corps style.

The last few years I have made a photo calendar to hang in our kitchen. Although I am unable to see it (I use the iOS calendar for everything), it is the resource my husband uses to see what we are up to. The picture for each month is carefully…

Having had an artificial tree for most of my entire adult life (click here for Oh, Christmas Tree, Oh, Mister Rain), live Christmas trees are not on my radar. The few years that I did have a real tree when I first moved out of my parents’ house, I purchased…
