While I was studying in Ireland I experienced many adventures traveling all over the country. One of my favorite memories is from my journey with friends to the town of Dingle.

Lavender Brownies
Lavender Brownies contain two of my favorite things -- chocolate and lavender! They are worth making, even if only for the fact that they make my kitchen smell like lavender and chocolate together.

Encouragement for Your Race
This is a true story for the 2009 Portland to Coast Relay Race that covers 127 miles. Linda’s finish line was nowhere in sight.

Vacancy Left in the Wake of Death
Two years ago today I held my mother’s hand as she took her last breathe. Death leaves a vacancy in your life that no one can take up residence in. The loss of my mother did not leave a faint impression like a foot print in the sand that can easily washed away.
