It’s all personal
I'm Kim and I have a few blogs (and perhaps an issue with over sharing, and too much time on my hands). My other two projects are www.fiftyfiftyvision.com and www.thisisplanbe.com. I also tweet at https://twitter.com/TheKimTackett and instagram at http://instagram.com/kimtackett. But here, it's all personal. I show up once a week, sometimes less, never more. I don't have a niche or a purpose or a plan. Just a few stories and pictures. Welcome to my personal space.I write about stuff

making tracks
One of the highlights of our Sunday hike was our stop at the railroad tracks. I don’t know why they surprised me, as the railroad is part of what threads our towns together, and it’s an everyday presence in my … Continue reading
what i saw along the path
So we had a great hike on Sunday. It wasn’t a long hike, but it was uphill and I found that as long as I had my camera out, I had a good excuse to stop along the way and … Continue reading
