I celebrated my 52nd birthday a couple of weeks ago.  Hubby wasn’t home for my actual birthday, but he came in the next night bearing cake, flowers, and cards!  It was such a sweet surprise.  Turning 50 was rough, but this birthday just felt “fine”. ...

I’ve let time just slip right by me and figured I needed to dust off the old blog and see if it still works. I made some big changes.  The ads were driving me crazy, and after 10 years of the very same blog theme, I installed a...

First, and most importantly, we have a junior college graduate!...

I am NOT looking forward to this, and I’m praying that the worst of it will miss us.  Here in the South, our infrastructure just isn’t set up to...

We are finally getting back to our normal schedule this week. After I went in to make...

I want to thank...
