"Memories"
As you may or may not already know, I gave birth on June 25th, 2010. I’m going to start at the beginning of the road to delivery with June 23rd. I had been having problems with my blood pressure for the last month so the doctor was having me in twice a week for non-stress […]
Continue Reading → A year ago I waxed (somewhat) poetic about the joys of spring. I was often found sitting on my front patio (sometimes wrapped in a large blanket) enjoying the sounds, scents & sun of that time. I reveled at my country dwelling & all the charms present. Flowers blooming, trees flowering & heavy with the […]
Continue Reading → We are staying at my parents’ house for the rest of the week/weekend as we attempt to find housing for the big move which is coming up fast. So far we’ve had lots of great prospects but unfortunately there seems to be something odd or not workable each time we get close….but that’s a whole […]

Lately with all the depression & think-y time I’ve had memories have been washing over me—some of them have been like a storm-tossed wave from the depths of […]
Continue Reading → 5 year old me was always outside weather permitting. I had not yet discovered “chapter” books so although I was an accomplished reader books didn’t own me the way they would during my teen years (ok, they still own me). Being a farm girl there were 6.475 billion things to do on any given day. […]
Continue Reading → Since I truly don’t know where to begin with everything I am just going to let my fingers walk across these keys & see what comes out….No forethought (a big thing for me…I like to know what direction I’m headed. I don’t mind detours or the scenic route as long as the general destination is […]
Continue Reading → Seven years….somehow it seems far longer & yet only last week. I don’t have much more to say than that right now. Happy Anniversary to us!
