About Me

Name:
Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Laid Back Day

The change of pace I was seeking has happened. Tony went to a photography workshop in Miami over the weekend. He said it was good. The break was good for me. I visited with the other neighbors a bit yesterday, read my novel. Terese had this trilogy in French-it is by a Swede. I downloaded it onto the Kindle for next to nothing. Terese is reading some raunchy stuff. A mystery but with a Swedish sensibility about sex. Fixed chicken livers for us last night and the dogs got a repeat tonight.

Since it rained all day today it was more of the same for me. Made a pot of pea soup and some tuna salad. Pretty gentle, if constant rain. Took a diuretic and with the soup, we have a "cleansing diet" going on. That was something we never heard about until the last few years.

I finally remembered to get some iron tablets down here. I thought I had packed them but they are not to be found. I had the foresight to go to WalMart last evening so we are provisioned. The iron pills do seem to pep me up.

The rain is supposed to go away tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile life at camp is very agreeable. \
