I always wondered why my earliest memories were scary ones like alligators at the zoo and the washing machine that could take off your arm. When I learned the amygdala was the only part of the brain fully formed at birth I understood. The fawn is from the birthday card my parents gave me when I was born.

This was the piece that started it all. I had wanted to do something about Julia Child and the Holy Trinity of butter, sugar, and flour for years. An assignment to make something out of trash provided the perfect opportunity.

A poll in October of 2016 reported half of Americans wanted to take the country back to the 1950s. For the most part they were Trump supporters. I decided to have a little fun with my love of 1950s horror movies. (The monster vote is a real thing—look it up!)

My mother was a master of cliches and proverbs that she grew up hearing from older female relatives. They were the primary words of wisdom for raising children, helpful to someone only nineteen years old when her first child was born.

I’ve often worried about becoming a bag lady. Research indicates I am not alone. An estimated 49% of women fear living on the streets after a catastrophic event. No matter how secure our financial situation, there is still the feeling that the rug could be pulled out at any moment and whoosh, all would be lost.

I found this brochure for a 1928 Luxury Cruise to Africa many years ago. Doubtless all the passengers have long since passed. And certainly most of the destinations have greatly changed. It’s a reminder to myself that nothing lasts forever and the time to travel is now.
