People Passion

Posted on March 27, 2023 by Real Women

Most people don’t suck.  I know this may be hard to believe on the days that we listen to too much news, hear about another atrocity, end up in a crowded space that feels just too “peopley” or get a … Continue reading →

Mundane Adventures

Posted on September 28, 2022 by Real Women

My husband and I ran a couple errands together last weekend.  I know that sounds monotonous, common and uneventful, but in all honesty that is usually not a “together” activity for us.  He has his errand locations:  Home Depot, the … Continue reading →

Earning Our Rings

Posted on February 8, 2022 by Real Women

As I type these words, I am in my comfy jammies, feet up, and have the Winter Olympics on TV.  I am amazed by any elite athletes in any competition, game or exhibition who reach new speeds, new heights, new … Continue reading →

Word Up.

Posted on October 29, 2021 by Real Women

Not surprisingly, I love words.  Both real words and creatively made-up phrases.  There are lots of supposedly official words that are virtually unknown but are super fun.  Like ferrule, the small piece of metal that separates the pencil from the … Continue reading →

Just Relax

Posted on July 30, 2021 by Real Women

For a variety of reasons, I’m not having a summer vacation this year. Now before any of you think I’m saying that to garner sympathy, let me mention that we have a lovely pool in our backyard, and we are … Continue reading →

But Seriously….

Posted on June 29, 2021 by Real Women

I used to be a more “serious” bicyclist.  Cool gear, longer distances, group events, fundraising rides.  Now I’m a pleasure rider, and I’m amused when some of the serious bikers pass me by.  There they are in their color-coordinated bike … Continue reading →

Oasis on Wheels

Posted on March 20, 2021 by Real Women

My first car was a used 1981 Plymouth Reliant K-Car.  It was ugly, utilitarian and practical. But I didn’t complain, because my parents paid for 95% of the car.  With me being the fourth and youngest child, my parents were … Continue reading →

Posted on January 26, 2021 by Real Women

We are all in the same boat of desperately craving social in-person activities. Even something as simple as having a few people over for a party has become a sadly distant memory and yearned-for future event.  Yet I don’t know … Continue reading →
