ONE Album.
You can only listen to ONE album for the rest of your life. Only ONE. Which album do you choose? My pick is Sting’s Ten Summoner’s Tales. The title is a play on Sting’s given name, Gordon Sumner and a character, “the summoner”, from Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. Aside from this album being [...]

Favorites Party Tuesday!
Every Tuesday ‘til Christmas, I’ll be joining my gal pal, Kim, in her 2008 End of the Year FAVORITES Party. She assigns the FAVORITE topic each Tuesday. It is her party, after all. Join the fun. And, hop over to Kim and give her a shout. You will Lu-HUV that girl. I love her for [...]

What a mess.
Sunday was a reasonably productive day. We accomplished many household items that have been awaiting our attention for quite some time. Most of you know the effort it takes to achieve these self-inflicted projects while simultaneously insuring that the little people are occupied. Not so much an issue for little person number one. But, you [...]

I saw the light!
Most of you know by now that I am a loyal SuperTarget shopper. Just hearing their new holiday commercial sing “Simply having a wonderful Christmas time” makes me feel all warm inside. And, right at home. I buy most everything there – from groceries to Rachael Ray’s cutsie mixing bowls – it’s all there. Underneath [...]

Proud Parenting Moments.
Some smart philosopher once said, “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle.” Of all the lessons we teach our children, this is probably numero uno. How we treat people comes up in conversation, in some shape or form, every day with my children {and usually between two siblings}. I try to share [...]

The Drifter.
Sometimes, I am a drifter. A God drifter. I didn’t know the name for it until Pastor Craig enlightened me this past Sunday. It’s not that I haven’t prayed. I have. But, for the past few weeks, it’s really been more about me than Him. Then, I realize. It tends to be about me when [...]

The art of the handwritten letter.
Now that we can text and e-mail “thank you”, “happy birthday”, and “I love you”, do you think the art of the handwritten letter is history? Three of my Georgia peaches were out visiting a few weeks ago. And, let me tell you. One of ‘em right now is sittin’ at home saying, “Oh, I [...]

Let’s just call this a mental detox Monday.
After last week’s emotional roller coaster of writing, I decided to lighten it up a bit this week….or at least, today. On that note, here is one of my favorite pictures I’ve taken recently. This four-legged cutie lives on Kris’ family farm. I’m really not sure why his dad thought goats would be a beneficial [...]

Across the Atlantic – Part Four
I know the past few days have been heavy. They’ve been even tougher to write. Writing a story of such magnitude while praying you are honoring a family is no easy task. I wanted to conclude with a few things I think we can all take away from Andrew’s story. 1. When life knocks you [...]
