Several years ago I did a post very similar to this one (hence this one called 10 MORE things). I thought since a lot has happened since then it was high time to do it again! #1 I am a very cheap date. i.e. I cannot hold my booze at all. A couple White Claws and I am under the… Read more »
I have said quite a few times that raising kittens was not on my list of things to do this summer. Most people just laugh. However, one person replied in a way that got me thinking.

As many of you already know, in December we lost our oldest cat, Hershey, to multiple organ failure at the age of 18 1/2. He had lived in this house longer than I have and it was a major loss to us. We had thought we had decided a few years ago we were going to be a 2 cat… Read more »
Today is Positive Media Day. We all talk about all the downsides of the media. And don’t get me wrong- there certainly are plenty to talk about! But today we are going to talk about the good media. And yes, there is a lot of that too. Think about all the events we have witnessed together with people all of… Read more »
By the time you are reading this I will be a couple days into my vacation back in my happy place – Duluth Minnesota. Yes, I’ve been there a bunch of times but that’s kind of the point. Please see https://beckypalmer.wpengine.com/why-duluth/ for my thoughts on why I keep going back there. And yes, I am going alone again. This… Read more »
