2019 brings Joy
What a bad ass year 2018 was! It was hard in some ways and was gentle in many others. We lost Jon’s dad and took in his dog, Patches (middle). We call this her retirement home, but she shows no signs of her age when she is keeping up with Duke and Oakley. This isn’t…

Whoa, it’s been awhile.
This might be the longest I have gone without posting. I still write, it’s just saved on the cloud until I finish it. Let’s play the fun game of catch up. I’m still at the shop and things are better than ever. We have made so many changes there in the last year. Installed my…

damn it!
2018 Day 1: went for a 3.1 mile trot with my running group for our 5th annual New Year’s Mimosa Run. I got home and fell asleep because I was feeling ‘off ‘. Woke up and realized I had the stomach flu. Day 2: in bed all day because spent all day yesterday dealing with…

I hate this time of the year
Yes, it has Christmas and New Year’s…but doesn’t have long days. Today the sun sets while I am shutting down the shop. It usually hits me around now when everything slows down….I’m sad. It’s seasonal sadness because I am not getting enough sun….and exercise. I need to spend my weekend out on the trails and…

A whole new life
What an incredible last month we have been having. Thanksgiving was spent in our new home surrounded by our family. In a very unlike Kristine move, we went to pick out our Christmas tree in Apple Hill the next day. It’s a beautiful silver tip that is swimming in the most beautiful bulb lights and…

When I started planning my trip to Ireland and told my agent that I had two weeks. He lost his smile, “No, that’s not enough time!” at that point I thought he was crazy. Two weeks was plenty of time to be able to see all the cool things I wanted to visit. Now that…

Why I Started My Personal Blog
I started Random and Odd back in 2002 or so because it was all the rage and my mom and sister were perpetually online either playing games or finding recipes.
I decided that I wanted to be able to write what I was going through as a parent and keep them updated on what the girls were saying or doing. It started out just a way for me to vent, rant or laugh about life.
It turned into more when other people outside of my mom and sister started reading it and through the years it was just a place for Stuff Portrait Fridays, meeting other people blogging and making those people friends. It was a place to put down a photo I took that I was proud of and then it was a place to talk about the traveling I was doing. Now it’s just a dumping ground of bullshit that is swirling in my head.
I want to get back to writing, taking photos and traveling and doing a complete redo of R & 0 was needed to document.
Enjoy the minimalist look.
