  • Where It All Began

    Can we all just join together in a moment of silence for all the teachers out there? For me and many others, tonight marks the end of our Christmas break. It is back to the grind tomorrow. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t a tiny bit melancholy about this. The past two… Read more

  • What this day means to me

    The calendar hanging on the wall reads May 20. But I don’t need the calendar to remind me. I’ve actually been thinking about this day all month. I’ve been thinking of this month all year. I couldn’t let this day slip past without an acknowledgment, because this day is pretty significant to me. Today is… Read more

  • Remembering Drew Miller

    We had to say good-bye to one of the finest dogs there was. Our Drew Miller. Our Drewby Dooby Doo. He was somewhere around 11 years old. Give or take a year. He was named after a preschool classmate of Ashlynn’s. He was her second puppy after her first Drew Miller met an unfortunate end… Read more

  • On This Day a Year Ago……

    On this day a year ago, we lost my grandmother on my dad’s side. She was a beautiful lady who just happened to be born on my daughter’s birthday 94 years earlier. She left this world at age 96. Because we lived a good distance apart, I don’t have a vast amount of memories of her,… Read more

  • Sunday Dinner

    There are not many memories in my mental Rolodex that cause me to feel as warm and fuzzy as the memories of Sunday dinner (dinner meaning lunch here) at my mother’s mother, Grannie Silcott’s, house. The menu didn’t vary much. It mostly consisted of roast, potatoes, corn, and green beans. There was leeway at times… Read more

  • All About EK

    I’ve got two reasons for this post. 1) my kid is darling 2) I occasionally run into ‘online’ friends  face to face who say they miss seeing my kid on Facebook. Okay three reasons 3) I need to document the cute, funny, wise, serious things she says and does, and the baby book isn’t cutting… Read more

  • Easter Sunday—-2K14

    Happy Easter to all! This day finds me a bit happy, a tad sad, with a little hope thrown in.  I’ve neglected my blog as of late simply because my life is boring, quite frankly.   I do all the things that everyone else does.  I have a wonderful bundle of two year old joy… Read more

  • You’d better listen.

    This morning I sent this 14 year old off to school. It’s Homecoming here.  Last night there was a bonfire, today a pep rally, tonight a football game, tomorrow a dance. We be busy. So later, I was replying to some comments here on my blog and I ended up clicking on something that took… Read more

  • Moment Dwelling

    Last night a physical sickness hit me and I couldn’t sleep because of it. I crept out of the bedroom leaving my husband and EK snoozing soundly, grabbed a down comforter, my robe, and headed to the couch where I still couldn’t sleep. I got my laptop and for a reason unknown,  I began looking… Read more

  • One tough camera

    For nearly 9 years a disposable camera has been cruising with me in my car.  A disposable camera all filled up with mystery pictures of which I can’t remember taking.  What? you say.  Nine years?!?!?!  It’s short of a miracle I know.  Never mind that I’ve had a car for 9 years, 12 to be… Read more
