So it’s been 2 weeks since I’ve been back and I still can’t stop talking about Iceland. It is the most amazing place I’ve ever been and the only way I think I’ll be able to top the trip is if / when I go back. I could- and I have been- talking about Iceland pretty much constantly since… Read more »
Yes I’m back from Iceland and yes it was the most amazing trip I’ve ever been on. But I’m still recovering from it! So, we will return to normally scheduled programming (i.e. the Iceland report) next week.
After I went to Miami a couple years ago I wrote about how I was bringing skirts and dresses back into my life: https://beckypalmer.me/?p=4957 Since then I’ve added more to my summer wardrobe rotation. But there was still something missing most of the time. My knees. I have a medium sized scar under my right knee. I got it… Read more »
I spend significant amount of time outdoors 2 weekends in a row. This is unlike me. There are way too many green plants I’m allergic too out there in the spring and fall. It’s too hot in the summer and it’s too cold in the winter. And all my stuff- and my cats- are inside my house. But I… Read more »
I’ve been talking about for ages. I have been planning for even longer (2 years to be exact). One month from today Pat and I will be in Iceland. It doesn’t seem like it can possibly be true. It’s been so far away for so long. We’ve gotten passports. We’ve booked flights and and a hotel. We’ve booked day trips. … Read more »
I’m petty enough my original list of 5 doesn’t even begin to cover all the things I care about far too much to be psychologically healthy. I am aware that doesn’t paint me in the best light, but I don’t care. These are my hill and these are my beans (bonus points if you get the movie reference). #1 The… Read more »
If you ask 10 people, 9 of them would probably say their favorite season is summer. I would be that 10th person. I will not go so far as to say I hate summer, but I don’t love it. I think it’s WAY overrated! People say they love summer because they can be outside longer. You know what’s outside? Mosquitos… Read more »
It’s a really good thing that I have a long weekend for July 4th because I’m still recovering from the previous one. I’ve said many times that the older I get the more I enjoy not going out. That is mostly true. But there are events and places and people that I want to show up for. And several of… Read more »
I’ve spent plenty of time talking about big issues that are important to and I will continue to do so. Things like support for the LBGTQ+ community, mental health awareness, and what Christianity is all about. Today is not one of those days. Today is about the smaller issues that I’m far too passionate about. The things that make no… Read more »
Over Memorial weekend I took a quick trip to my favorite place to visit- Duluth Minnesota. I have waxed poetic about this place many, many times. Like here https://beckypalmer.me/?p=2497 and here https://beckypalmer.me/?p=3674 . You get the picture. I’ve written about this place a lot and I’ve gone there even more. But this last trip was a little different. First of all,… Read more »
