and why my brain’s too full…

My 25th place. 30th home. When we moved here, I told my husband, “Next time I move you’ll be carting my dead body to some hole out yonder.” (When I’m ornery he puts the wheelbarrow on the front porch.)

To amend Chief Joseph’s words, “I will fight no more forever,”  I say “I will move no more forever.”

But I’m glad we moved here, truly. Small towns and country living have great advantages, and challenges. Parades and poison ivy. Tourists and other critters. Truly, my brain’s too full. (myb2f.blog)

Health, Wellness & Recovery

Here’s a fun category for those of us getting older, and those of us who’ve spent some non-quality time with depression, dysfunction, and addiction. Allow me to ease the way with my own discoveries in exercise and food, too.

There are some terrific churches, and some not so great. Surprised? Nope. We’re all a little bonkers, and easily misled and distracted.  

So I’ll write about religions, and my questions and discoveries in Christianity. Brain too full? Yup. (myb2f.blog)

The Military & The Academy

I separated from the Air Force in 1988 after serving 5 years. My dad was a fighter pilot in the Air Force, which makes me an unruly “military brat.” But I prefer the term old pilots at his squadron reunions favored: spawn. 

There’s a lot going on with the military, and I’m no expert. But I’ll write about it, cuz I’m a spawn, a co-spawner, and a mom of spawn-makers, and my spawnish brain’s too full. (myb2f.blog)

Still with me? woo hoo!

But the main reason I’m blogging is to tell …
