About the Woman in the Middle
Hello! My name is Kim and I am a woman, living smack dab in the middle of life. I live with my husband and my two daughters in the brand new city of Jurupa Valley, the newest city in California. Both of my daughters are in their 20s. Both currently live at home as they finish up school and start their lives. I have an elderly dog and cat and who take up a crazy amount of time and two kittens we rescued from our back yard. I enjoy being involved in my community and seem to be constantly on the go from one meeting to another.
In 2011 I decided to try this thing called blogging. That is where YOU come in! I am so glad you decided to stop by and check out me and my blog. I hope you enjoy it, I hope you laughed out loud about this crazy thing we call life, and I hope you will come back!!!

Kim- got your family newsletter yesterday and thus found your blog. I love your style of writing and wit, so I will be signing up. All is well in Tennessee.
Hey! I am glad you like the blog and glad to hear all is good in your part of the world!
Hello, a little word about Bath, England. Its actually a world heritage city, One of its striking features is that it was all built in the same neo-classical Georgian style in the honey-coloured local stone, often called sandstone, but which is in act Oolite. Bath was a city built on wool (Broad Street was called that as broad swathes of red cloth (for the military) used to be swathed across the street, gambling and riband living, and property speculation. Even today you find odd little lanes with street names and no buildings. This is because the investors went bust before they could build houses on the street!
The best time to view bath is around dawn on a Summers day, walking down from St Stephens to the Royal Crescent and thence into the Centre itself. The eomansarly morning sun on those honey coloured buildings is absolutely gorgeous.
As a spa town, Bath has a history stretching back to the Romans, the archeology of whom is remarkably well preserved and laid out. It is expensive to do the Roman tour, as much of it lays underground (which was once ground level). However when you pass by the front of a Roman temple to Minerva in an underground setting, you will have a memory that will last your whole life.
Jane Austin knew Bath well, and the period details throughout the locale are stunning reminders of that age. Tiny little buildings with room for one chair in them right next to the road were there to keep pallaquin bearers dry in between jobs!
And quiet street used to have wooden cobbles as not to disturb the patients in the adjacent hospital.
I had the pleasure of residing in Bath for a while, and have no hesitation about recommending it to others as a place to visit.
