Last March, on our brief outing to Evansville, just moments before we ended up back at the hotel with a sick child, we managed a few moments in Borders Books. I love, love, love bookstores. I could wander for hours picking up books that catch my eye and read the backs of them. Or just [...]

For lack of something of importance to post today…

The following *Mom-story* is from another dear friend, Stacy. I definitely recommend you grab a tissue…seriously. I can’t tell you how proud I am of her for writing such a wonderful and powerful tribute. Stacy is one of the very first people that said she would submit a story for this month - so I [...]

Last November, the first time I ever participated in National Blog Post Month, I met Michelle of Bleeding Espresso. I think we both had pictures of our dogs posted around the same time and so, we readily knew we had things in common. We’ve been trading comments ever since. She is a wonderful woman and [...]

Another guest adorns my blog today with her *Mom-story*: My sweet friend Guinie. She is one of my favorite people and another online scrabble partner.
