October Round Up: Yippie Ki Yay

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 [...]

Self-Cleaning Oven

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 [...]

This House Used to be a Home

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. [...]

Non-Addictive Cigarettes

I have to tell this story & I apologize to the other person involved–you know I love you girl but this is too funny not to share.

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 Lake [...]

Fleur de Lys Surprise

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 [...]

A Weekend in Pictures

I’m taking the lazy way & posting a bunch of pics rather than write.  I’m too tired right now to string very many words together.  Enjoy the pics! (All of these were taken when Abe’s brother visited us from Missouri.)

 

Stuck in the Past

The other day I got a friend request on facebook…now this rarely happens as I’m pretty much friends with people I know already.  Of course the bulk of those are my family–Mom, siblings, inlaws & a few aunts and cousins thrown in for good measure.  I also connect with some friends from college which is [...]

June 16, 1993

Mom called me tonight with a bit of poetic circumstance…apparently my hometown area is under a severe weather warning–specifically a tornado warning.  Now unless you are VERY familiar with my life this statement will seem quite random.  Allow me to elucidate.

On a hot, muggy June morning in 1993 I woke up & went [...]

One Year

Tomorrow June 8th will mark one year of being without a dear friend.  It’s been a long year…and it was filled with the deepest sorrow & the greatest joy.  I’m reflecting & wondering if I’ve taken anything with me over this last year.  Have I “learned” anything?

I’ll never forget the phone call…I wish I could. [...]

Photos from the road

I’m just posting a few pics I took with the camera on my phone from our mini vacation.
