First Stop: Longbranch Saloon
Quaint wooden rails still adorn the sidewalk in front of Lanello's Longbranch Saloon. Back in the day, a thirsty rider could sling the reins of his horse around that rail a time or two, then head inside to throw back a couple of cold ones before clip-clopping on down the road.

And then Goodbye
Harsh fluorescent lights flooded the room, as did an overpowering odor of antiseptic. And the scent of death hovering? How depressing! I hated hospitals.

And Then Silence
Please sit back in relative comfort on the sofa, your hand in my hand, as I start Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins. Bright and uplifting, the piano serenades the start of the day.

Not Quite 'Good Enough'. Honorable Mention in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
The perfect twenty-four hours. Man, that haunts me. It's haunted me since I was a child and heard some no-name host muttering about the perfect day on TV, asking some kind of question to a contestant that was drowned in the static while it snowed outside. The woman on the screen laughed. She exposed her pretty teeth in their neat little lines and mentioned something about a beach, a walk, and a midnight swim completely naked. Everyone laughed along with her.

Twenty-Four Hours in the Forest
I have spent an enormous part of my life in the forest. I grew up beside one, going on fairy hunts and collecting plants for my potions—which were really just stinky mud water mixed in an old pot my granny had thrown out, while I pretended to be the witch of the woods.

How to attend Yule Ball at Hogwarts?
Have you ever imagined yourself in Hogwarts? Wondering around twisted corridors, going to magical classes and drinking butterbeer with your friends in The Three Broomsticks after?

There are plenty of tourist-approved ways to spend a day in Grand Rapids, Michigan. You could visit museums, wander through Frederik Meijer Gardens, photograph the city skyline, or sample enough craft beer to understand why they call this place Beer City.

My Day, My Way. Runner-Up in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Want to spend a day with me? Let’s see what my perfect twenty-four hours look like. I’m retired, so I’ll stay in bed until I feel like getting up. When I wake up, I will doze for a bit before waking again. Then I’ll lie there a while, letting random thoughts float through my mind. After reciting what day it is, I'll decide the order of my perfect day. I won’t make myself get up early and get busy. I will move slowly and deliberately, breathing deeply. When I get out of bed, I must first push up the blackout shades; then the glorious morning greets me through the window.

A peaceful day in Nice.. Honorable Mention in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Midnight. I should probably go to sleep but I can’t take my eyes off of the sky. That’s how I am spending every evening of each day during my yearly holiday in Nice. And I just learnt a new constellation. Swan.

Join Me for 24 Hours in My Bed
I wake up in my bed, wrapped in my cozy sheets. They are organic crisp percale from Quince. Now that I sleep alone, it’s my job to decide which sheets to buy, so I did a search for comfortable but durable sheets made from organic fibers. Sheets that breathe and keep me cool at night while also being high-quality and natural.
