A couple of weekends ago, I was camped out on the couch in the den with a book and total quietness. It was heavenly. After a short while, the dogs must have noticed I was missing from the living room because it wasn’t long before they came looking for me. Both of them appeared in [...]

As my sisters and I gathered around my Mom’s kitchen table this past week, we shared many stories. I think it’s perfectly normal and healthy to remember the good times (and some of the bad, I suppose). We laughed and cried and cried and laughed. (That favorite quote of mine from Steel Magnolias “Laughter through [...]

I’ve always loved to watch the many changes of the sky.
I have more photographs of sunrises, sunsets and clouds on my computer then I’ll ever know what to do with…
But this one is special.
I took this on the evening of my Daddy’s death – out the window of the van as my hubby drove us [...]

I have been supremely fortunate in my life. I’ve reached the ripe old age of 40+ without ever experiencing grief of losing a loved one as close as a parent. My grandparents are all gone now – don’t get me wrong… I have lost family but we didn’t live near them so I wasn’t [...]

For the past few days, I keep hearing my Dad’s voice in my head, saying one of his favorite sayings, that he’d tell us all the time when times got tough…

How smart are you?
Below you will find some random riddles I found online (none of these are MINE…. I am so not that smart! hehe) but try your hand at answering without looking them up! K?
1.  What is it that, after you take away the whole, some still remains?
2.  I’m light as [...]

A short while back, I asked for any questions. Anything you wanted to ask…. I got rather long-winded on part I of answers and decided to break it up into two. So, here is the rest for now. Feel free to ask anything further if you wish.

Can you believe it’s mid-September? I mean …. really? Where did the year GO??
Is it just me or does time seem to fly by faster each year? I don’t feel that much older – well, except for all the little aches and pains in my bones. And the fact that it takes me a few [...]
