• A Bittersweet Moment Rectified

  Last year at Thanksgiving I was fed up. It was one of my many times being fed up… I was just confused and uncertain of what this long-distance relationship had turned into. The ultimatum was coming from me. Work was not a comfortable place for me only a couple of people I could confide in…

• Bookshelves

  When Dad and Grandpa Freddy planned out my room shelves were on the list. I have shelves made into the wall, including what I call my ledge, in the hallway leading out of my room. This was before my book fetish started. Now I have three more bookcases for more than just books of course,…

• A Funny Frustrating Night

  Last night ended up being chaotic and a tiny bit funny. Unfortunately a little fur creature was in the bathroom yesterday. We have three bathrooms and I can say it was not mine. Dad had apparently declared it ‘boiled’ when he himself left for work. Once he was gone it was quite certain the thing…

• December 10th

  Isn’t it funny when Facebook shows you a post you have pretty much forgotten? All of a sudden I noticed this notification when it said her name it took me back a bit. We exchanged a lot of texts and some posts on Facebook, but this one seemed unfamiliar to me. I remember that cross-stitch…

• What Tree?

  Dad tends to want to wait until the last minute when it comes to our Christmas tree. If it was up to me or Mom we would get it the day after Thanksgiving. As you could guess that makes for some interesting years. Since both have happened in the last 10 years or so. The…

• Social Media Buzz

  There are so many topics this week that have been buzzing. My number 1 would be the outlandish remarks of hopefully ex-Presidents of some Ivy League Schools. The arrogance of all three women… absolutely vile themselves. Here we are in 2023 these Universities have women Presidents that in itself is a modern advancement and honor…

• Recent Christmas Cards

  Making Christmas Cards has still been an outlet very conducive for my stress lately. Just being able to let loose and explore the abstract pieces of art and seeing how they could fit together is so much fun. They may be leftover pieces cut up over and over again, but with the right second or…

• Christmas Tunes By Kids & Teachers

  Today is the first time in too many years since I watched my niece in a School Program. It’s been at least 3 years. Work was the excuse last year, but lack of coordination and communication around the supposed parents is to blame otherwise. I am trying to be nice about it too. This was…

• Undying Love

  There are days I feel I can do nothing right. Reminders are everywhere about not having certain things going my direction right now. Then as I sat in the parking lot this morning Bryan texted me. Yet I have to be ready to stand for a while and prepared to do so or for sure…

• 20 Years Ago…

  As I drove into the Wal-Mart parking lot this morning lots of thoughts hit me. There have been numerous times I thought I lived in that store. Now I tend to stay in the car. When I am in the store for longer than 30 minutes I can feel the pressure of the cement floor…
