Hello! My name is Karen and welcome! I’m a mom to two young men – Blake (29) and Brandon (26). I’ve been married to the same wonderful, patient, thoughtful and generous man (Kevin) for 31 years.
I work full time in a healthcare clinic (for now) – it’s my “day” job. I squeeze in family time and blogging in between all of that. (Okay, I really spend the majority of my “down” time watching YouTube videos or searching prompts and writing short stories to post).
We converted a cargo trailer into a camper and I guess we’re campers now! (Since going on cruises seems to be out of the question right now).
I graduated from college with a B.S in Technical Writing – so I’m a wordy know-it-all, as well as a minor in creative writing – so don’t always believe what I write. *wink*
I believe in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Writing Well. (I also believe in our Constitution – Don’t Tread on my Rights, Yo).
I can be snark-a-licious, but only when provoked or when confronted with ignorant, ill-informed knuckleheads.
I’ve been blogging (on and off, mostly off) for…. how many years…? (I’ve lost track, quite honestly).
I also have a lot to say about nothing.
Brace yourself.
Also follow me on Instagram, because life is more fun with pictures.

Thanks Shannon, but I didn’t take this photo. This is actually a post card from the Post Secret website. I like to post postcards from this site from time-to-time for two reasons:
1. They resonate with me on some level and though I have promised to not get too personal on this blog, it’s my way of trying to tell you all something.
2. I hope they resonate with other people. They are inspiring, humbling and interesting and they prove that everyone has problems and that it’s important to listen, or in this case, to read.
That is a shot, you should frame that one.
Love that, so sweet and innocent! My WW is up late, had some blog problems.
You’ve summed it up perfectly, Lareine!
this is superb!… a mixture of nostalgia, innocence and childhood memories rolled into one… the B&W added a more romantic effect… and a perfect metaphor for summer 🙂
What a wonderful photo 🙂
So absolutely agree!
so wonderful!! i so love the shot!!
Mine is up!!

I don’t know why but I’ve always likes photos of kids’ backs. It makes me wonder what they’re thinking.
