Like it or not, time is flying right by us all. Miss M turns 16 this year. Yeah, time is flying. It is the time in her life that a young man just may be brave enough to ask her out on a date. This is why her daddy took her out first. She's been... Continue Reading →
If Facebook showed me just how many times I pull up their website on Safari, I would be even more aggravated with myself than the crap that flows through my newsfeed as I mindlessly scroll down rolling my eyes ~ quite often I may add ~ at all of the crap that people post and... Continue Reading →
As much as I hate to admit it - I am a hoarder of things like all of M's papers. I have totes labeled Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade.... you get the picture. Middle school took a hit in the paper department since very little - if any - papers were brought... Continue Reading →
Lessons of 2018 ~ As I reflect on 2018, I must admit it has been a blur. So many people I have spoken with have the same sentiment. Where has the year gone..... I can tell you - it has gone F A S T. Last year, I made a post called Lessons of 2017.... Continue Reading →
Last week, I took Miss M to the DMV to update her State ID as she changed her last name a year ago this month (July) to incorporate my maiden name, and to have the same name as me and to have her Pappy's last name as well. Yes, we are those ladies who hyphenate.... Continue Reading →
Have you ever been disappointed? Have you ever disappointed someone? We all have been there in our lives. I believe it is how you deal with the disappointment is what is important. For myself, when decisions have been made that were out of my control; I chose to stand up, brush myself off and move... Continue Reading →

Rush here. Rush there. Do this. Do that. Thinking of that while I'm doing this. Story of my life. It really hit me yesterday as GW and I went to Columbus for a couple of nights to celebrate wedding weekend with family and friends. We went to one of our favorite spots, Cooper's Hawk Winery,...

Last night, my family and I attended Ohio Chautauqua to watch the live performance of Susan Marie Frontczak as she portrayed Erma Bombeck. Before I go any further, let me explain what Ohio Chautauqua does. It is a community event that comes to town under a big red and white tent offering living history performances... Continue Reading →
363 ~ that is the number of days that have seem to have flown by and have crawled all at the same time. 363 ~ that is the number of days I have moved forward with one foot in front of the other and forged on with some days being better than others. Very few... Continue Reading →
Lessons of 2017 ~ What have I learned? What will I take into 2018 with me? What will I leave behind in 2017? I have learned that God is good all of the time and that God's Grace is sufficient. I have learned that if I stop and listen to all the things around me... Continue Reading →
Last Wednesday, I had went to town to run some errands before picking M up from school. I called my Momma as I do on a daily basis to check in and to catch up for the day when I instinctively pulled over in front of a friend's brother's store to see her for a... Continue Reading →
A wise man told me back in May that this is a year of firsts for our family. My first birthday, first Father's Day, first 4th of July, on and on without my Dad. I explained to him that we made every day special not just holidays while I appreciated what he was sharing with... Continue Reading →
I just spent the last hour and 48 minutes on the phone with one of my closest and dearest friends talking about where do people get off thinking they can basically say anything and do anything to someone. Is it the social media era where people hide behind keyboards, monitors and hand held devices where... Continue Reading →
GW took me away for the weekend at the beginning of the month to celebrate my birthday and he invited some of our nearest and dearest friends to join us. We spent an entire day and evening together. At one point I realized that my cell phone hadn't needed to be on a charger at... Continue Reading →
