It’s the season for something new. So when I got an email intro to Dan Damon from our mutual webmaster, I absolutely had to go hear him. Dan performs both jazz & spiritual music just like I do, and plays an extremely pleasant jazz piano at Hotel Mac in Pt. Richmond. It was a lovely evening and so nice to meet a kindred soul, not to mention that the mac & cheese was “to die for” and unlike any I’ve ever had. Then a few days later, my Sweetie and I took a Sunday drive (on a Friday) out to Clayton. It was like stepping back in time to an utterly charming little town with a classic park in the middle which was surrounded by vintage looking restaurants and shops. And it just happened to be the most beautiful sunny day. Ah-h-h-h… Life is good. Happy. Spring!

2020 Christmas
ByCynthia‘Twas three weeks before Christmas and all through our house, not a person was stirring, but me and my spouse. Two stockings were hung by the chimney with care; Too bad no one would be there to share. Ev’ry night we rested all snug in our bed, while visions of vaccines danced in our heads. …
Whatever Feels Good in the Moment
ByCynthiaAt the moment, I’m doing a staycation in honor of my birthday week. Cancelled my hotel reservations when I realized it felt like just another thing to squeeze into my always over-packed schedule. This is good. No, this is excellent!
