Update about blogCa

My goodbye visit to Lake Tomahawk, July 16, 2026. It's been a good time of walks through the seasons, and lunches at the Senior Center for the last 19 years...off and on.

What I'm discarding, and nature, are on my mind.

 Today the furniture goes...

While I wait for Habitat for Humanity to come truck away the dining table, a book case, two dressers and a couple of little shelves, let's consider what's happening in the rest of the world.



A woman athlete made some waves in the news while I've been watching a few World Cup games. Well, I don't watch sports news most of the time, I admit.

The Ferris Fire - this view from his ranch in Cortez, Montezuma County, CO - by Larry Don Sukla




Craggy Pinnacle Trail from David and Julia, Appalachian Mountains. Even without rain these trees just fog everything up.


Not my tent, but a reminder of all the people out enjoying wilderness this time of year.


Some of the small things going to the thrift store this week! Of course the watches don't work. And some of these pieces were my mother’s.

Speaking of watches, did you see the new fangled timepiece which uses numbers by name, arranged alphabetically?




This week a man at lunch time asked me the elevation of Durango CO (my soon to be new home) and I just answered "Mt. Mitchell." Thus my recent trip to the 6640 foot peak in North Carolina was to help me acclimate to the higher elevation where I'll soon be living.

When I dare to be powerful – to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.

OK before the furniture is picked up a special coffee meeting is scheduled, to meet fellow blogger Mary Moon. Just had to add this bit of earth shattering news...hold onto your hats, big event here!

    1. I am somewhat sorry about giving away some of the things I've let go of. But on the other hand, if I trapse something 3/4 of the way across the country, I sure better use it when I get there!!

    1. This very moment I have let go of the furniture that was re-salable at Habitat. They wouldn't take the antique rocker because it has a tear in the upholstery. But I am probably not up to redoing it myself. We shall see if there's room in the truck...

    1. Am I completely focused on my belongings and self taking this big leap? Yes indeed. It will be the challenge of the year definitely. Pneumonia, pshaw! I can do anything (well, within reason!)

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
