Apologies for the triplet posts yesterday. I was trying to file the two Amazon posts under Amazon Links and not “publish” them. As you probably noticed, the first, real post already had the Amazon information. I try not to make a big deal out of being an Amazon Affiliate, then this! Oh well. Onward to today:…
If you have not accessed the free music and playlists from Amazon you will be amazed. This program is part of Prime Music. I have been downloading free playlists in my Amazon Cloud library and a bunch of new songs. I often just stream off my phone using the music app and little speaker or light-weight…
Amazon has the best new program: Kindle Unlimited. For 5.99 a month you can read unlimited books (that are available in the program), up to ten at a time! I greedily downloaded 10 books immediately and was stunned to find Rick Bass’ new book available on the program. Also, many of the Best Writing books, which I love, are on…
I have to get on the road again! My blog stats while I was traveling were sometimes over 800 readers a day. Now, as I quietly reflect, readership is hovering around 100. I am thankful for all of you who check in daily, weekly or just when I travel. I am grateful for your Amazon…
Thursday. Rain, cold, gray blanket sky. Breezy wind is teasing, reminding us she will grow to gale-force soon. Roaring fireplace, hot coffee, soft old comforter.

While on my sabbatical I read several articles about birds whose populations are getting out of control and/or thriving in places where they never could before. One article talked about Ravens now living in the Nevada desert because they can nest on the cross-country electrical lines, telephone poles and other man-made structures. This morning, I…
I try to avoid clichés, but one sets the tone for my thoughts today: necessity is the mother of invention. After the first week of living in the popup camper, my whole body froze. I was achy and had sharp jabbing pain in an oblique muscle, which I pulled while sleeping (note: Drew Brees also…
Great Kindle Books that saved my camping trip when I started having pain from sleeping weird. Amazon.com Widgets
The Rocky Mountain Front, in Montana (south of Glacier,) was the most serene and “still wild” place I visited on my sabbatical. The Front encompasses the Bob Marshall Wilderness and several others. The Front is also prime grizzly habitat, and as I drove up to a trail head on a dusty mountain road I felt…
Wednesday my sabbatical is over, and this past week I have been scurrying to finish my sabbatical projects on time. I finished the cookbook this afternoon and gave it to a couple of folks to preview. It is a church project– treasured recipes that started with the German settlers here one hundred + years ago. Antelope…
