Being Thankful

Spring in the time of covid

August 1, 2021August 1, 2021 / CrazyKat1963 / 8 Comments

This post is long overdue. It was in the queue, but I had been too lazy to go through all the photos to make a proper post. However, with the latest family crisis, I decided to look back on a fond memory. One I had intended to share, but never did. In February, The Pragmatist … Continue reading Spring in the time of covid

Tired of pretending, Part Four

July 31, 2021July 31, 2021 / CrazyKat1963 / 7 Comments

I spent all day Tuesday (7/20) running around picking up things for my sister who was still safely at the crisis center here in Portland at that point. Again, I didn’t want her spending the night out of a secure facility. I arrived at the crisis center Wednesday morning at about 10:30am. By 11:30am my … Continue reading Tired of pretending, Part Four

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

Life’s great pleasures

May 4, 2020May 5, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 11 Comments

The sun is shining, flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, we picked up 1/2 of our plant starts at the farm yesterday. Gardening is one of my pleasures. Lots of fun stuff, tomatoes, herbs, sunflowers, hot peppers. Our farm share this week was filled with goodies. Fresh grown veggies and our farm family make me … Continue reading Life’s great pleasures

Shelter in place, part 4

March 27, 2020April 15, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 16 Comments

We had to return to Portland for prescription refills and specialty dog food. Since our dogs both had pancreatitis in the past year, it's important we keep their diets regimented, and I was almost out of insulin. This was a simple drive between homes. When we left for the beach house, we had planned to … Continue reading Shelter in place, part 4

Shelter in place, part 3

March 24, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 6 Comments

Our weather has turned colder with intermittent rain showers and lots of wind. Here’s the last few pictures of those sunny days. Two of my boys on an old ocean highway. A dog’s life Tide pools This is the point where the dog decided he may need to go home and get his daddy. He … Continue reading Shelter in place, part 3

Shelter in place, part 2

March 24, 2020March 24, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 13 Comments

Our second and third days of social distancing were equally as beautiful as the first. North End of the two mile stretch of beach our house is on. Lots of rocks and caves on this stretch of beach. In Oregon, the forest meets the beach a lot of the way. There’s a house on the … Continue reading Shelter in place, part 2

Shelter in place, part 1

March 23, 2020March 23, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 15 Comments

We feel pretty comfortable sheltering in place at our beach house during these troubled times. When the architect commenced his drawings about six years ago, he dubbed our home, Shelter House, and that’s what it is. With its massive foundation and heated concrete floors, gorgeous 12’ tall storefront windows, yards and yards of pristine cedar … Continue reading Shelter in place, part 1

Taking a little time

March 1, 2020March 1, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 16 Comments

It's been a rough couple weeks. Processing my dad's death hasn't been easy, and then there was the graveside funeral and memorial luncheon less than a week ago. My dad touched a lot of lives, married into a huge family, had his own bunch of kids, nine of us, who then had 17 grandchildren, plus … Continue reading Taking a little time

Too soon to say goodbye

January 7, 2020January 7, 2020 / CrazyKat1963 / 33 Comments

We found out early Friday morning that my dad is in critical condition, in the ICU up north near his home in Washington State. He's 77 years old. He’d been in some abdominal pain for a few days, which then became severe, and he asked my step mom to call an ambulance because he literally … Continue reading Too soon to say goodbye
