My realtor told me that the house was being professionally cleaned the day before I took possession. I immediately wondered if they were also having the huge pile of manure and the open side of the barn cleaned. I would have preferred it if they would have done that....

Last week I wrote about being able to spend four days at the new house. It was hard to leave. As I’m writing this I’m back and there was a pack of dogs outside my window. Still no horses and there’s about one more load of stuff in Oakley that needs to come here. When...

What brings value to your life? Do you love to bake? Are you an artist who paints? Sometimes our value has a lot of moving parts. Sometimes I can be a little too cautious. My number one value is connection and I’m an introvert who can be afraid to connect with people....

I never felt like I was connected in western Kansas. There have been small ways that I fit in. I loved Mike and had a connection with him. I feel a connection with my bell choir group. Overall, I always felt like an outsider. During one of Mike’s hospital stays at KU...

I feel like I’ve traveled somewhere (mostly to Lawrence/Kansas City with a trip to Littleton, CO in between) every week since the first week of February. John has had two doctor appointments in Kansas City, I’ve had two trips to look at property, a long weekend when...
