Howdy! Have you missed me? It's hard to believe it's been over two weeks since my last post. A lot has happened! But don't worry … I'll just give you the sweet! highlights, not all the boring details. First of all, it's Easter Sunday – Resurrection Sunday – for me, the source of all…

I took advantage of the "icy roads" warning yesterday and just huddled inside my toasty warm house, not even venturing down the highway to see my mom. I was probably being over-cautious, but when the roads you travel are twisty and hilly, and not made to resist icing, it's better to play it safe than…

This evening my family commandeered the sunroom where my mom lives to celebrate her 83rd birthday a few days early. It was the only day we could all be together, but besides that, when you're turning 83, you really should start celebrating early, don't you think? I know Mama loves being with…

On Monday my middle son turned 26. He celebrated by taking the day off from work, sleeping in, and then relaxing on the back porch with Belle, reading and drinking his coffee. He's definitely a child after my own heart. The day started out a rainy one. But by the time Belle and I…

It would have been intimidating growing up with such a beautiful big sister if she had been the type to criticize or belittle. But I was blessed with Brenda. Sure, she liked to tease me sometimes, and even lost her temper with me once or twice, but given that I was a…
