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 »
So, how are you doing? There is a so much crap going on in the world and in the US that it’s hard to stay positive. Hell, it’s hard to be anything other than completely hopeless. But there are good things in the world. We just have to look for them and appreciate them. Oreo does that. He is happiest… Read more »
I’ve been recovering from a very nasty stomach bug. In between the vomiting, the hallucinations (I ran a high fever for a while), and the wishing for the sweet release of death I had a lot of time to stare at bad TV. For whatever reason, one of the services I was watching was advertising When Harry Met Sally a… Read more »
Yes I have mentioned this day before: https://beckypalmer.me/?p=2241 But that was 4 years ago. And, well, my cats have different questions now!

If you missed that you can read about that here https://beckypalmer.me/?p=4856 And yes I have joined the book club at my library!… Read more »
Especially in the world we live in right now it’s so important that we take a moment to sit back and reflect on all the blessings we have in our lives. There is so much good right in front of us that we take for granted. To that end, a very popular trend on social media is to post something… Read more »
If you’ve been around here any length of time you know that I am not a fan of an over the top wedding. My advice to anyone who is planning a wedding is to not. Just elope and use that money for something useful. Buy a house. Pay down debt. Get a better vehicle. Your grandmother and that one aunt… Read more »
Today is indeed Dogs in Politics Day. It was created to commemorate popular dogs of former politicians. But given the state of politics in the world today maybe we should consider electing dogs to Congress. They certainly couldn’t do any worse.
I’ve kind of known for having strong opinions on small things. Among them are early holiday decorations and well, lots of things about holidays. See also here https://beckypalmer.me/?p=4733 But I’m over that now. Go ahead and put up your Christmas tree in June. Celebrate Halloween in August. Take Valentine’s Day way too seriously. There are so many shitty things happening in… Read more »
