I don’t even know where to start….life is moving in so many directions some days I don’t even know which way to turn. We’re supposed to be working hard packing for the move to South Dakota…I say supposed to because it is much easier to promise to do the packing later & go play with [...]
Well it’s official….we’ve found a new place to live. Over the last week/weekend we made plans to look at some potential houses for the big move. There were a lot of places that sounded like they’d be great. One was a nice double wide with some additions…it looked really nice. It was on 17 acres [...]
I’m jumbled up today like a 5000 piece puzzle scattered about. I woke up feeling sort of okay…a day off & I need it. After a somewhat leisurely start to the day it was off to visit quickly with some friends & a quick lunch date with another friend. It was nice to see them [...]
In this month’s rehash I’m mostly going to post pictures of random things & the visit with my brother TJ, his wife Jen & their boy little A (now I have the Jetsons theme song stuck in my head). October was a month of more struggles for me & Abe. We’ve made some major decisions [...]
As you may have noticed I don’t have a lot of positive stuff to say lately….tough is my first response to that observation. I’ve never been Ms. Positivity to begin with….the fact that things are craptastic right now hasn’t done anything to improve my outlook. For all you “count your blessings” people out there I [...]
Hmmmm….so I was feeling really pretty good going into October. Had a few days of feeling almost normal….that’s gone though…a friend told me the other day if I’d lived during Dickens’ time I’d have come up with “Bah Humbug” first (and said it about myself). Yeah well, I’d have been right too….
I don’t really know [...]
Last weekend when I had my head in the oven (no it was not a Sylvia Plath moment) at my brother-in-law’s house I was struck with the overwhelming memory of me as a very young girl in another kitchen.
I have such vivid memories of the first house I really lived in (the first house I [...]
As you may know (or not in which case you will soon learn) I have spent the long weekend in Missouri helping my brother-in-law move & clean up the old house. It has been a most bittersweet time as the circumstances for moving are not happy but we always have a good time hanging out. [...]
My husband is amazing! He is also so sneaky & patient it stuns me. Our 7th anniversary was August 31st & with everything so hectic & topsy-turvy we didn’t really celebrate. We did have a quiet evening at home & time together is always the best.
Today I got a surprise belated anniversary gift. It is [...]
It’s no surprise to my readers (I think I have readers…hard to tell these days since my best ones have gone MIA & I’m not sure if I’ll get them back….) that my job is not my favorite place to spend time. Besides tumult in working with the office personnel, I am at the point [...]
