I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    My Special Visitor

    Despite the media hooplah about the Pope in the US, I'm more exicted about the visitor who has been enjoying my pond and birdfeeder over the past few days:



    Her boyfriend was here with her a few days ago, but last night she arrived alone and cautiously took a swim while I sat nearby reading and occasionaly stealing a glance of her. Unlike the ducks who came last year, this gal doesn't make a huge mess when she takes a dip. She's a very pleasant guest!

    Wouldn't it be wonderful if she nested on your little "pond"?

    So cute. We saw some ducklings on vacation. They really are something.

    That sounds (and looks) great!

    I agree, more pleasant than a papal visit, and no line for a port-a-potty.
