A Jersey-born gal, married for 50 years to my one and only and loving it!, mother, grandmother, former sailor (having logged almost 50,000 blue-water miles with husband and family as well as assorted feathered and furry pets); presently residing in the hinterland of northwestern Oklahoma, avidly creating small gift-enclosure cards. Raised on the banks of the southern reaches of the Delaware River, I'm now landlocked, but still enjoying LIFE!

Gratitude – Grateful to be Present I am, in the Present, in love, grateful, living. I am, in the Present, aware of beauty, able to breathe free air, accountable for my actions and mature enough to accept that accountability.

We're Home!

We’re Home!

A 12-week hiatus away from media. Wow, almost unbelievable. We spent most of the time in Chesapeake, VA, caring for an ailing family member. Have never seen so much traffic and was struck by how much development has taken place in the 12 years since we were last in that area. Must say, I prefer the slower life pace of the Western Plains area. Amenities such as a veritable smorgasbord of shopping…

Nikolaev Zoo in Southern Ukraine--- HELP FEED THE ANIMALS!

Nikolaev Zoo in Southern Ukraine— HELP FEED THE ANIMALS!

I had no pretty picture to add to this post today.  The picture for the animals at this 100+ years-old zoo is bleak!  Government funds for the zoo have dried up and the country, as anyone who listens or watches the news knows, is in complete turmoil.  Thousands of zoo animals are in danger of starving.  Indeed, without intervention from the Earth Organization, they would have already.  I posted…

IN WHAT WORLD??? Fracking is a controversial procedure that is being increasingly used in the quest for natural gas. There are too many questions and questionable procedures to allow this proliferation to continue without considered oversight.
