The cold has been challenging. Minus weather is new for us. -9 in the morning but we ventured out to Crossfit. The workout got us warm and sweaty. The drive home reminded me of earlier times when we were growing up in New York and the winter months made each day an adventure. One year […]

500 Saturday nights….a story of a life

Look up and find your life

We looked up. That was it. We just looked up. It was night. It was dark. It was chilly but not cold and we looked up. The night sky was filled with stars. It goes on forever. Earth is just one other dot in the tapestry that we know as the universe. The universe. Massive. […]
