Bill’s last official day at his old job is slated for February 23rd. Just a bit more than 3 weeks away!  That date holds so much promise for me.  Promise of more time together.  The ability to chase the sun along … Continue reading →

In a world full of people placing importance on some of the most ridiculous things, I find is so heartening and such a blessing to see how many people came and left a post for a worthy cause.  I sat … Continue reading →

So, we are up to 27 awesome comments!  You guys are wonderful.  But you know me.  So hard to satisfy.  Would you like to help me reach my private goal?  I would like to see 100 comments. Because, you know, that … Continue reading →

That is where I wanted to go on Thursday when I found myself smack dab in the middle of the influenza virus.  The real McCoy, and I ought to know, as I am a real McCoy via my grandmother. Mia … Continue reading →

Last night we watched the movie “How To Eat Fried Worms”.  Great movie, by the way.  Having a husband who is fun can be dangerous to your health.  After the movie, Quinn said “What’s the big deal, worms are not … Continue reading →
