Life is too short to not be myself…
So this isn't my new year's post... I don't think, that will come later. For now, I want to talk about boys, sons. They are different. My first born was my son. He and I were inseparable. His dad, DH, was gone A LOT so it was often just the two of us. We were... Continue Reading →
So, yeah, I am totally loving having an empty nest locally! What I mean is that my nest is empty but DD lives nearby and I love that!! She was home as we decorated our Christmas tree at home and then yesterday afternoon DH and I went over to her place and helped her decorate... Continue Reading →
We moved DD into her new apartment this weekend. It's a cute historic apartment in our downtown area. I love that she is so close! We get to see her often and she gets to have her independence and all her belongings that were in storage. She's been so excited! We went and bought a... Continue Reading →

No, it's not politics and it's not religion either... well, that is unless, you make food your religion. Here it goes. Why is food such an important part of EVERYTHING? I mean I get it...

Friends! It's been a while... 2020 has been a rough year... for everyone. I've been out of town for the last 3 and half weeks helping extended family and just got back Friday evening to my little family. Yesterday, DH and I decided to get out and just be together. We grabbed lunch and ate... Continue Reading →
I don't know about you, but I've been needing a little escape from all the ... craziness in the world (well, mostly the United States). It's been overwhelming and exhausting. So the other DD and I took a Christmas break! Yep, we just did Christmas all day. We baked cookies, we ate cookies, we drank... Continue Reading →
So, it's July... how can it possibly be? AND the middle of it at that! That means Christmas is less than 6 months away! It will be here in less than 166 days! What?!?! 😳 Yeah, I know... when I realized this last week, I started working on some Christmas gifts. If I'm going to... Continue Reading →
Yesterday evening, my dear friend, Phelba, passed away. She had cancer. She fought it for a lot of years. I will miss her so much. I’ll miss her laugh, and her smile. I’ll miss all our long chats about EVERYTHING. Even stuff we disagreed on. She and I could talk about anything… and we did. ... Continue Reading →
This morning, I rolled over in bed and picked up my phone. I had gotten out of the habit of doing this in early January but as this virus has taken over, I find myself once again, looking for my phone and catching up on the news before I even get out of the bed.... Continue Reading →
Wow, I just knew I’d be back over here in a day or two after my last post but then things went wonky. I started trying to decide whether our little churches should continue to meet on Sunday mornings. We are a predominately elderly (over 70) congregation but we are also very small. I had...
