About

This blog is the journey of a 50-something woman, trying to figure out "what am I doing here" and reflecting upon "how did I get here." There may be feisty soap box rants and caffeine driven rambles along the way.

Kel always said that she would have her own career in her forties, and briefly realized that dream before falling into the role of "trailing spouse" and relocating from the Pacific Northwest to Michiana in 2011.

She often looks around her and asks "how did I get here" with the Talking Heads accompanying her thoughts.

Kel moved in with Bob while in graduate school and he claims that he had to keep her after she began a whole house remodel and was the only one who knew where all the parts were. She has used this strategy in 4 more homes now and it seems to keep him on his toes. In 2004 she began full-contact gardening. Her renovation and gardening exploits can be found at Kels Garden Journal.

This household is 100% gluten free and follows sustainable practices. The early years are documented in Idle Ramblings, now closed to the public.
