Years ago when Grammy was first worried about Alzheimers she told me that even if her mind forgot me her heart never would. I can still see her standing in her kitchen tapping her chest, both of us getting choked up. The doctors cleared her then but I never forgot that conversation. It was a… Continue reading To My Grammy.
I wait in line at the post office while my grandma lays in a bed 2,000 miles away waiting to die. Even if I was there I wouldn’t be let in. Not with COVID crawling all over the place. At the post office we stand six feet apart. Masked, avoiding each other’s gaze as if… Continue reading Waiting
Okay, so I dropped off with my Nancy posts for a bit. In that time I’ve gone from saying “this show is the most ridiculous thing. The real Nancy Drew would be ashamed!” to being like “WHEN IS THE NEXT EPISODE!” In case you’re wondering, it’s still ridiculous. And, unless you are a Winchester, I… Continue reading Nancy Drew…I Might Love It
What? it’s still January… Last year was a strange year. I learned a lot, met some new people continued to build relationships and made some mistakes. It wasn’t bad, but it definitely wasn’t what I was hoping it would be. At the beginning of last year I really had this sense that I was going… Continue reading Annual New Years Post 2020

Ghost possession is not only real in Horseshoe Bay it’s also doing splendidly. Mrs. Hudson’s… Continue reading The Case of the Wayward Spirit
Nancy Drew, episode four was about a 180 from the last episode. There were no fun clues or puzzles. No riddles where the key to the answer was a book ISBN number. Instead, this episode was all about ghosts (yes there is now more than one) and a funeral. Two ghosts, and a Funeral… The… Continue reading The Haunted Ring
I have to admit something… This episode sort of pulled me in. Here I am snarkily analyzing all the brooding drama and then they go and pull a Nancy Drew clue hunt that ticked all the right boxes leaving me, almost, gleeful. We find out that Ned did indeed have a relationship with the deceased… Continue reading Nancy Drew Episode Three
Episode two The Secret of the Old Morgue, picked up right where we left off with Nancy in the attic wondering if her parents had something to do with the “dead” part of Dead Lucy. From there it’s back to work where she’s on her phone looking at mugshot photos of Ned she obtained by… Continue reading Nancy Drew Episode Two
