Youngest was in her room playing with her Magnetics and singing softly to herself. I was cleaning up the kitchen and only half listening. Youngest is a bundle of noise, action, and commotion from the moment she wakes up until she passes out exhausted on her pillow at night. I’ve learned to accept it, ignore [...]
audio I’m not sure when it happened. It wasn’t gradual but it didn’t happen all at once. Passion turned to desire. Desire turned to complacence. Complacence turned into to what I have now. I think it’s called… actually, I have no idea what it’s called.
Let’s face it. A fresh ripe tomato is nothing more than [...]
Every once and awhile you have to mix it up. Try something new. Step out of your comfort zone. Today was that day. I got wild and crazy in the kitchen. MyHusband wasn’t impressed. He sat on the couch and watched the game. That didn’t stop me. I had no problems with doing it alone. [...]
We pulled off I95 and headed down the back roads. It doesn’t take much longer and it’s way more interesting. We drove and looked at the tobacco fields on one side, they were just about ready to harvest. The other side alternated between soybeans (just starting to bloom) and cotton. It was God’s country.

A silver tear appearing now [...]
I’m back from a vacation at the beach. I ate tomato sandwiches, built sandcastles, waited for sea turtles to hatch, and was almost sacrificed to the sea. It’s good to be back but then again it’s not. I missed you guys but not really. My sunburn hurts but not too much.
It’s taking some time to [...]
Nothing too exciting is going on around here. How about a dream from a few weeks ago?
I was tired of waiting. I walked hurriedly back and forth, up and down a long hall. I was looking at faded art prints. Flowers, vases, and vases of flowers. All the standards. Well done but not remarkable. Thirty [...]
e-e-f-g-g-clunk-f-e-pause-d-cc-d-ee-d-d wait where was I?
That is the sound coming from my daughters room. She’s just finished her second guitar lesson. She’s been playing around with a guitar since May and last week she decided she wanted an electric guitar. I told her if she learned to play an acoustic guitar I would get her one. [...]
