Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
When I was a child, visiting my grandparents, breakfast included my grandmother setting out their daily pills. I didn't think much of it then. Oh, but now I do! Mind you, my "pills" are vitamins and supplements...all except one newcomer to the mix: a low-dose diuretic. (A side effect of diuretics, in case you weren't aware,... Continue Reading →
Elven Council in Ashes is a perfect sequel to Elven House of Ivy. With surprises around every corner, this fast-paced page-turner grabbed me from the start. So much so that when I began reading it (at bedtime, of course), I thought the first chapter was strangely long….only to realize I was four chapters in and... Continue Reading →
Well, this morning didn't go as a large number of people in the US had hoped. But that would have happened no matter what the results were. So, for those of you who feel like you're floundering a bit, that the floor has fallen out from beneath your feet, or that you have lost control... Continue Reading →

As I opened my blinds this morning to see our first snowfall of the season, I couldn't help but think "How perfect!" And I meant it! This snowfall is a winter preview. It's a warm-up (so to speak) of the actual winter performance. It will stop by 9 am and then turn to rain. Then... Continue Reading →
Before you ask, there is no spelling mistake in the title. If you know, you know. Now, why is the Llama sounding so grim today? Well, some new grim and gruesome and monstrous things have happened in our world and, like most of us, it's making me think. What is my role in the world?... Continue Reading →
We left Mt McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge first thing in the morning. There were about 9 buses that drove us all to meet a train just outside of Talkeetna. We had assigned seats on the train.
