Sorry…am try­ing not to swear but there come moments, lots of moments, when the only words that fit the bill are “Damn it”.  Bad news has been rear­ing it’s ugly head every few hours the last cou­ple days.  A friend who we knew had a spot on his lung went in for his surgery yesterday, […]

Know I just did a post ear­lier but also just watched the noon news.
Any­one else scared, wor­ried, con­cerned about the crap North Korea is pulling? Test­ing nuclear weapons, six today already? Mil­i­tary doing for­ma­tions? Pulling away from the inter­na­tional world? Not heed­ing com­mands to stop test­ing? Won­der­ing what they have we are not see­ing? Why now? […]

Watch­ing the hoopla sur­round­ing the young man with can­cer from Min­nesota who’s mother took him and fled seek­ing alter­nate treat­ment has cer­tainly engen­dered many a con­ver­sa­tion about the rights of par­ents, and well it should. My kids and I had just such a dis­cus­sion with the gen­eral con­sen­sus being, if you are doing some­thing that […]

To all who have served, are serv­ing and will con­tinue to  serve to keep our coun­try safe..thanks…“for you…a mil­lion times over.”

All the rea­sons I have not been blog­ging.
Took a mini vaca­tion last week­end which was NO fun as hack­ing, cough­ing, more hack­ing, more nose blowing.…yuck, yuck and yuck.…a lit­tle bet­ter but think­ing it’s time for the old antibiotics…crap.   No wait…I mean YEAH…antibiotics are good things…just crap I still have this STUFF 10 days later.  Later. […]

I should be doing a whole lot of things right now. Instead I will write about jelly wars.
Every trip my hus­band and I take, we almost always bring back a jelly from that region. Some­times it is a jelly we have heard of, but mostly we like to try ones we have never heard of with […]

Why is that every time I am a hairs breadth away from clutch­ing my hair in frus­tra­tion at some silly thing my hus­band has done that he turns around and does some­thing so cute I just have to keep him?
Leav­ing him notes say­ing “I love you” is the norm for me, espe­cially when headed out of […]

Off to babysit the young un…
Fun fun fun!!!
Party time Elijah!!

For a cou­ple more days I have sir­rus (sp?) radio on my new car. An intro­duc­tory pack­age. I don’t care to have 2oo some chan­nels to pick from but I must say, choos­ing say, just the blue­grass chan­nel, and hav­ing it come in clear and ALL the time is mighty nice. As is the 24 […]

I need a vaca­tion from our vaca­tion. It really wasn’t a“vacation” as much as a week off for my hus­band. Know he went back to work today way more tired than when he started the week. But most of our vaca­tions are that intense so I shouldn’t be sur­prised.
I have been hav­ing me a few […]
