Break the mold, Cupcake

by Kathy

As an almost-daily blogger, I have never ever suffered from writer's block. OK, mostly never ever. You just sit down at the computer and let the fingers type. They say what they want to say. They report your thoughts in the moment, what's happening outside the back window, perhaps what the photos want to say. [...]

[New post] Ditto what the Lorax said.

New post on Lake Superior Spirit

Ditto what the Lorax said.

by Kathy

Does everyone remember what the Lorax proclaims in the famous Dr. Seuss book? Sure, you remember. He solemnly says, "I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees." This blog is ditto what the Lorax said so mightily. Today I am joining hands with the Lorax and bravely echoing his sincerity: I am Kathy and [...]

[New post] Shanghai and away!

New post on Lake Superior Spirit

Shanghai and away!

by Kathy

Last week I sat down in our local coffee shop, Java by the Bay, chatting with a friend, Anni, while waiting for her daughter, Christina, and son-in-law, Alex, to arrive. I was especially excited to see Christina because she's an up-and-coming blogger. Yes! She posts two really good blogs and I wanted to hear her thoughts about [...]

[New post] Mature. Once a week. That’s how grownups do it.

New post on Lake Superior Spirit

Mature. Once a week. That’s how grownups do it.

by Kathy

We should all follow our wildest dreams, shouldn't we, people? OK, maybe not if our wildest dreams involve abandoning our ten children and moving to Antarctica. Or maybe if our wildest dreams involve the seven deadly sins. (If I could remember what they were, I'd alert us about them.) But if our wild dreams are more [...]

[New post] It’s all reflection, folks…

New post on Lake Superior Spirit

It’s all reflection, folks…

by Kathy

Count yourself a lucky soul, if a pond exists within a stones throw of your couch. If one doesn't exist, fathom it out. Trespass if you must. Ponds speak to your underwater longing. You can find yourself while pausing cross-legged in pine needles beside a mirrored pond.

[New post] On Magical Golden Cattail Pond

New post on Lake Superior Spirit

On Magical Golden Cattail Pond

by Kathy

Last night I left our patient propped up on the couch listening to National Public Radio, the ice machine whirring freezing cold blasts of water around his new knee replacement, his knee elevated properly above the heart for maximum anti-swelling advantage. I bopped down the road in the approaching dusk, advising Barry that I would [...]

Here’s lookin’ at you, Walker Boy

by Kathy

Here's my hubby coming home from work, one week and one day after his left knee replacement surgery. Look at him wield that walker! Look at him go! He went back to work today, although I think he spent more time at physical therapy and the hospital (to monitor his Coumadin levels--to prevent blood clots post-surgery) [...]

[New post] Gondola, going, going, gone…

New post on Lake Superior Spirit

Gondola, going, going, gone…

by Kathy

Venice. Oh Venice, Italy, magic, mystery, city of dreams. I remember you now, looking at these pictures, was it 2007 or 2008? My daughter and me, traveling through Italy and Switzerland and France. Did it really happen, or was it a dream? Do these photos prove that it happened once upon a time?
