Living in a rural community, caregiving for one well into her 90s... doesn't lend itself to daily excitement. When I look back on days of raising a family and earning a paycheck, I didn't think that time was exciting either.  Yet now I see my best memories tucked within them.

Then up and over the Siskiyou mountains... clouds outlined against sky... a first dusting of snow on the peaks... It feels odd to carry …
