A touristy weekend in Philadelphia

Museum of the American Revolution. A scene of American revolutionaries engaging in a fist (and iceball) fight against each other. Kim is in the background, jeering.

A few weeks ago (okay, over a month ago) some of our Seattle friends came to Philadelphia for a few days and we were lucky enough to be able to show them around. Our first stop was the Museum of…

Friday 5: Magically Delicious & Darn

(Kim stares blankly at the blog page) My friends, it’s been a bumpy few weeks here and I can’t even go into why yet because it’s not my story to tell. Rest assured, people are slowly healing but I’ve been…

Wordless Wednesday 2025: Week 18

an old pinball machine - Gottleib's King of Diamonds. The theme can be described as a poker game in an old west saloon. There are a lot of mechanical components in place of the digital ones we see today, especially the bumpers, the score, and the wheels.

(yes, this is Thursday, dirty-dating this on Wednesday though.)

On menopause

the wombsday clock graphic with two teal haired women in white rockers. It has reached 12 months and there are teal and white stars all over the graphic.

Well, this happened. M asked if I had feelings about it and I’m not so sure. The bits and bobs didn’t do their jobs for me when I desperately wanted them to, so good riddance? Because of the stupid infertility…

Wordless Wednesday 2025: Week 16

A closeup of a wood-ish shelf. There is a Lego radio, a small red car with Mickey and Minnie Mouse in it (from the runaway railway ride(), a figurine of WALL-E presenting a tiny plant in a boot, and behind him is a delicate mug with a Jonathan Adler blue and brown flower print and an artificial plant in it.

We went to Clearwater!

the Philadelphia phillies on the field at BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater FL

Mom is a very devoted Phillies fan. As a birthday gift this year, my brother (who does not read my blog) and I took her to Clearwater, FL to see a spring training game! It was a quick weekend trip….

Wordless Wednesday 2025: Week 15

Philadelphia's Independence Hall at twilight behind some trees - the windows are glowing white, the sky behind it is dark, but lit. the phone's internal processing did a lot of work on this one.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
