Well, well, well! Here we are and it’s 2013 already! Doesn’t it seem that the more time that has passed, the quicker it goes? How did 2012 treat you? For us, it was pretty good. Definitely some good times and not so good times, but that’s life, right? The main thing is we sold our house, which is the first step toward a better, more
Moving Day
On May 1st, 1987, I stood at this same window and cried tears of joy because I couldn’t believe this home was ours. The trees were in full bloom and all you could see was the lushness and privacy we were lucky enough to call our own. I saw a picture of the house in the newspaper one day and knew immediately it would
Grandma’s Apron
This cute little story was in a local publication, author unknown. While my grandmother didn’t tend to chickens and we didn’t have a wood stove or fireplace, pretty much everything else reminded me of her. ‘Grandma wore her apron to protect the dress underneath. She only had a few. It was easier to wash aprons than dresses and aprons used less material. But along with
What will you leave behind?
Everyone gets organized at some point, they just might not be around for it. This true, albeit morbid comment, was one I read several years ago, and it has stuck with me. When we’re gone, someone will be responsible for getting our affairs in order, including going through all our things and purging and sorting. I’ve seen my fair share of houses that look like
My Sixth Month Blogging Anniversary!
This month marks my six month anniversary blogging, but it’s been almost a year ago that the seed was planted. So much has happened in the last 12 months. Lots of frustrations, but lots of growth as well. A year ago, I never even heard of the word widget, much less know what it meant. And a Gravatar? I thought that was a movie. I
Our Puppy Story
Like so many young children, back when my daughter was 5 she wanted a puppy for Christmas. We had lost our beautiful shaded silver persian cat of 17 years two years prior, and we felt the time was right to welcome a new pet into our home. We found ‘Bubbles’ through a friend, and when my husband went to pick her up on Christmas Eve
There is a new star in the sky
Yes, there is a new star in the sky. And that star is ever so bright, and I know it’s you Dominique. Shining down on those you care about, telling them to live their lives and be fearless in all they do. When we learned of your tragic accident and sudden passing last week, it was difficult to comprehend how such a vibrant spirit could no
Why I started a blog, and why you should too!
Our last assignment for my online class, Blogging Your Way, is to write about what we learned during our time in class, what blogging means to us and why we blog in the first place. BYW promises to help you ‘tap into your passions, carve out a unique, personal voice for your site, and inspire you to get out and make it happen!’ I’m happy
A Life Not Forgotten…
Up until not long ago, I had four sewing machines and one Serger. One of these machines belonged to my grandmother, pictured here seated next to me with my one month old daughter, my sister and my uncle back in 1986. Although I have had several machines over the years, without a doubt, my all time favorite is my grandmother’s Singer. Except for the few times she let me
