The American Southwest, part four

November 12, 2020November 12, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 8 Comments

On Day 5 of our 16 day road trip we drove from Salt Lake City to Moab, Utah just in time to get checked in to our hotel and head over to Arches National Park for sunset. Blue Eyes and I had done this before, five years ago, so we knew how beautiful it could … Continue reading The American Southwest, part four

The American Southwest, part three

November 10, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 5 Comments

As previously mentioned, we woke up to snow in Salt Lake City, Utah on Day 3 of 16 of our Autumn Road Trip. A very early snow day, according to locals. This day was also The Peacemaker's 27th birthday, so the day was all about him and his choices of what he wanted to do. … Continue reading The American Southwest, part three

The American Southwest, part two

November 10, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 29 Comments

We commenced our Autumn Road Trip on Blue Eyes' 57th birthday, October 23, 2020. We drove from Portland to Boise, Idaho. We left just after lunchtime and drove straight through with the consolation prize for Blue Eyes being a birthday dinner out at a Boise restaurant, with proper social distancing. The restaurant, walking distance from … Continue reading The American Southwest, part two

The American Southwest, part one

November 10, 2020November 10, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 17 Comments

As I wrote on my Instagram and Facebook the day after Election Day... Our country may be broken in some ways, but in other ways it is filled with beauty, kindness and graciousness. That’s what I want for my babies, all grown up, but still babies in my heart and in my desire as their … Continue reading The American Southwest, part one

Down to your heart

October 22, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 21 Comments

My dahlias are still going strong and bringing me lots of joy! I received the quote below in an inspirational email from the best trauma therapist in the world... at least she is that to me! These words spoke to me. The old me, before discovery, would have wanted to solve all my problems with … Continue reading Down to your heart

You are going to be okay, part one

October 8, 2020October 8, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 16 Comments

A very pretty day in the neighborhood WordPress reminded me last weekend that this blog is now six years old. I started writing about nine months into my healing journey. I had been journaling for months and it took quite a while to put all those words into legitimate, readable blog entries. I finally caught … Continue reading You are going to be okay, part one

Surviving 2020

September 16, 2020September 16, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 17 Comments

I am honestly so very tired. We are approaching the end of my older son's visit to Oregon. He's been here more than a month and what a month it has been. Having him home, or nearby, has been at times wonderful, and other times exasperating. He's a very social young man. He and his … Continue reading Surviving 2020

Why are people protesting

September 2, 2020September 2, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 14 Comments

Portland, Oregon protests (Photo Credit: Beth Nakamura, Oregonian Staff) Below is the comment in its entirety that I didn't post to my June 6th blog entry: https://trynottocryonmyrainbow.com/2020/06/08/the-way-we-look/ I'm also not posting the author's name or link to his blog. I don't think his blog is complementary to mine, in fact, I believe it is quite … Continue reading Why are people protesting

Purging

September 2, 2020September 2, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 12 Comments

Since Blue Eyes reconnected with his parents in December, I have not had any contact with them other than the one dinner in Los Angeles. This is a good thing for me. Blue Eyes tells me they are quite often these days sending him messages asking about Portland. They express disgust with what is theoretically … Continue reading Purging

Sunshine on a cloudy day

August 21, 2020August 21, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 12 Comments

My zinnias survived the moving van. I lost a couple plants and about 30 blooms, but honestly, that's a drop in the bucket of what is out there. It still looks beautiful. The neighbors did move out. I thought this would mean that our neighborhood would be quieter, but instead, they are fixing up the … Continue reading Sunshine on a cloudy day
