Lucky Dorito

I spent the first quarter of my life lost.
We didn’t grow up in church but as a teen, I attended with different friends. I’d sit there at times and wonder who the preacher was talking to…. surely not ME. I didn’t even belong there! (or so I thought) I tried to stay under the radar, [...]

Junior – Senior Prom 1985
You can tell by the big hair that this is from the mid-80’s huh? I am not in this photograph because I graduated in 1984 but…. that cutie pie on the far right is none other than my darling husband, Mr. Lucky. Just in front of him, in the white dress [...]

When I was a little girl, my mom told me that these giant walls of rock that were cut out for the roads to go through were actually stair steps for the Jolly Green Giant to use. (This particular picture is just one step, whereas sometimes the steps are two or three levels high, cut [...]

Every time I am using an ice cream scoop, I think of my Granny.

My Dad and Granny, August 2001
When we were young, she lived about an hour away from us and I’d sometimes go spend a week with her during our summer break from school. She lived in a very rural area and they spoke [...]

I think I can honestly say that the mistakes I’ve made as a mother are the ones that I can’t forgive myself for sometimes. [...]

Do you remember your favorite Halloween costume as a child? Or as in my case, any of your costumes as a child?
I honestly don’t remember any of my costumes except one.  (Sad, huh?) One year my sisters and I all dressed up as old fat men. We wore mens’ shirts with ties and mens’ pants [...]

I am sixteen months younger than my sister Lena.
That means, during our growing up years … I drove her CrAzY!!

I was the classic youngest child.

Always getting into her stuff.

Always trying to be her boss.

She used to put me in my place by simply ignoring me.
She’d say, “I think I hear a mouse talking….” when I’d [...]
