• Wonderful and Unusual

  My summer has officially begun as of last Friday. Somehow my niece has shaken up our usual schedule and we don’t know what’s going on except for a couple of facts. One being that my Dad and brother head to work at nearly 4 and Selena knows she wants to be out if we are…

• Miracles

  Yesterday I alluded to a miracle. I should have used the word in plural form. The first miracle of the weekend was getting a weekend with my niece in the first place. We have been pushed aside not necessarily by my niece, but by circumstances being manipulated. Thursday evening was a pretty perfect evening having…

• A Beautiful Sunday

  There’s so much to process still. My day began a little after 7 am when I had to assist Mom with Dad’s birthday cake. I still had another alarm that didn’t have time to go off because Mom decided to wake me up instead. Church wasn’t supposed to start until after 10 am so I…

• Projects Galore

  You have seen little glimpses of my projects this week. Honestly I don’t think I have gotten enough sleep or spent much time dilly dallying from these 3 tasks. I hadn’t had much extra time to work on the kitchen much since Monday. It would have been nice to get it done for Sunday at…

• May Twelfth

  Since I was born we were taught that this is a day for our Mothers. It’s a wonderful day to spend time with and give the women in our lives gifts and attention. In my household though it’s a double whammy with the special days. The day that’s meant to honor my Mom and Grandmas…

• Surveillance

  Do you remember how Covid felt being watched and having to account for your time and what you were doing to someone from the health department? The mandates that were so conveniently and easily placed on American citizens… Do you remember how belittling that felt? Last night I just finished a chapter in Jill Eileen…
