My Honey and I had a Date!


Just look at this picture…

Isn’t it wonderful?

Romantic candles, appetizing food, lovely atmosphere…and a printer in the background.

Ah, well…

Is it a Blog or a Blab?


HahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA!

This was a question posed to me today!

Let me set up the story…

My Favorite Things…


Yes, I am singing Julie Andrews version…”These are a few of my favorite things…”.

I just loved that movie.

For a multitude of reasons, really.  Here’s just a few…

#1…my sister Carol brought me to see it when it was released and it was the first movie I’d ever gone to in a theater!

#2…the singing….oh the singing…to be so carefree!  Of course, I was really young and the levity of the story didn’t sink in, I was too enthralled by the singing!

#3…the scenery…mansions and mountains and cobblestone streets!

It’s all so lovely.  Julie Andrews is lovely.  They made life feel lovely.

Which brings me to a few of MY favorite things (besides the movie, that is): Read more

Lord, give me strength…


I’m having a bit of a weak moment this morning, and when I have these moments, “Lord, give me strength” is my go to prayer.

You see, the past year has brought lots of these “pause and prayer” moments.  If we include not just immediate family, but add the mother and father in-law…we’ve had a total of 6 surgeries (sinus, elbow, major vascular bypass, ankle, and 2 cataracts), an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, 2 graduations & parties (high school and college), piriformis syndrome and shoulder issues causing me to be out of work for 5 months, 2 daughters moving (one into a new apartment and one into college), the college shuffle (painting and redoing the girls bedrooms…the youngest now gets the biggest room!).  Add in a winter of PTSD therapy last year (Thank you God for that!), and it’s been quite a year.

The mouse, the Fudge Fluff, and Ronald


I’m a cheap date.

I really am.

Would I like the whole expensive dinner, dancing, a little blingy gift type of date?

Well, heck yes…I certainly wouldn’t turn it down.

However, I’m just as happy renting a movie, snuggling with my honey on the couch with a cheap glass of wine and a fudge fluff cookie.

But God forbid you mess with my fudge fluff cookies.  Ok, well my family can…I’ll even share, most of the time.

But not with a mouse. Read more
