Have you ever seen the reality TV show Treehouse Masters? A few years ago my husband and I binged the whole series. It follows Pete Nelson, a master builder, and his team as they design and construct custom treehouses for clients, ranging from simple retreats to multi-story homes with kitchens…
My husband and I travel to locations and during the times of year that often require coats, hats, gloves and multiple layers, making packing a challenge. I am perpetually attempting not to overpack (click here for Packing Light Just Ain’t Right), but am thwarted by ensuring we have everything we…
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,…

An eight-day trip to California, where my husband and I would fly to San Francisco, tour the city, head to Yosemite, then back to the coast, driving south to Los Angeles, would require a plan. Carefully selecting the cities that most interested us, we opted not to restrict ourselves to…
