the older I get, the more at home I feel on earth. I have always been a wanderer geographically, career wise, relationships, emotionally...but not so much anymore. I am very settled and grounded and while I still reach up toward the sky, my roots are very deep...

I burn candles for her and sometimes leave little things I think she might like. Her voice is still pretty loud in my heart. <3

I love this. I have a very inexpensive old lamp of my (maternal) grandmothers that I've had since she passed about 10 years ago. The kicker? The same light bulb has stayed lit all this time.

I don't collect hats, but I do have a truck load of them. I added 4 more to this noncollection this week

haha ... thats a collection my friend

I collect rocks, not as exciting as hats. Sometimes i paint the rocks and write things on them. I make them into little painted ladybug families sometimes....

I collect vintage wine corkscrews and other vintage wine 'things'.

I used to drink coffee just about from sunup to sundown. I love it! The last year or so, I haven't wanted to drink it on an everyday basis, or even every week. So, I usually keep a jar of most excellent cold brew that I make, in the fridge. This way it's there when I want it and I can choose to have it cold or heat it up.

Sure thing buddy! Cold Brew Coffee I use a half gallon canning jar with the plastic screw on lid instead of the plastic container, but I'm sure either works fine. I hope you enjoy it!

I hate wearing socks. I only wear them when I have to in boots or shoes and if I can get away with taking them off unnoticed at work- (I hate stinky shoes more, so there is a need sometimes) -they are gone! Neatly in my footwear for quick reapply if necessary. IF I have to wear them, they HAVE to be super soft and the seams have to be over the top of my toes, crooked at all will cause an accident while driving as I fight to fix them or take them off. I have flip flops in my car for long trips.

Jesse · 03-05-2017, 05:02 PM

I dislike wearing socks as well, in fact I am most content barefooted.

Definitely agree! I only use shoes when venturing out in public. However, even then it is not sneakers or boots. It is usually moccasins.

I have a clause in my will saying that if they tuck covers over my feet in the coffin, they get nothing.
