  • Baby Girl in 3D

    I usually find myself most uninterested when pregnant women start pulling out a roll of black and white, grainy sonogram pictures showing off their upcoming bundle.  I’m usually the one holding up the picture, squinting, turning it to the left, the right, upside down, right side over while oohing and aahhing when in reality I can’t… Read more

  • In Memory of My Dad #31

    This article was written by my dad on April 8, 1995 entitled Springing Eternal the Hunters Spirit Mingles in the Greenery.  Perhaps some of you hunters can see yourself in the description, and most of your hunter friends too.

  • Radio Contest

    My husband, J-Dub, is a music nut.   He can tell you a song after hearing 2 notes played.  He knows the lyrics, the artists, the name of the album, and the year it was released.  I, on the other hand, am a music flunkee.  I make up lyrics.  Whatever sounds close, that will work for me.   I mistake… Read more

  • 50 Rules for Dads of Daughters

    My friend Suzanne sent me a link. Actually she sent it for me to share with J-Dub. I shared it, and then I read it myself. I loved it.  I cried.  But I’m a bit emotional these days with my little girl on the way.  I couldn’t help but think of her and her daddy. … Read more

  • Well today is Sunday, and those who may have been looking for it, might have missed my “in memory of my dad story” yesterday.  I’ve been a little busy, which is no excuse.  I’ve been: sleeping (today anyway) trying to revive a dead front yard from a serious drought cleaning out a junk room of… Read more

  • Pics from the Reveal Partay!

    This past Friday, some friends and loved ones joined us for a gender reveal party.  Some wore pink, thinking it would be a girl.  Some wore blue, thinking it would be a boy.
