Darling Daughter #2
Let’s talk about Sophia Rose Bodenbach. She is darling daughter #2 and my middle monster. She is our family fashionista, a lover of books, plants and animals. Her birthday is May 8th and she is going to be 24. Yup, I actually have a 24 year old daughter. Sophie greatly resembles my mom. Like my…
Power. Politics. People. Purpose.
While some things in life are not at all surprising, they are nevertheless quite disappointing. People are people and given the chance most will disappoint you somewhere along the way. I don’t know that I have always accomplished this, but one thing I have tried very hard to do in life is not throw other…
Darling Daughter #1
I haven’t been doing as many blog posts lately. Life has been busy with painting cabinets, doing lots of drawing and trying other new things.

Hi. I’m Trudy.
There is no telling what I might be talking about in my blog from post to post. So many things interest me–hospitality, leadership, drawing, faith, new recipes, community development…the list could go on and on. This blog will be a little bit about a lot of things and whatever I happen to be noodling on at the time. Thanks for hanging out with me for a while.
