A number of years ago I had given a book to my Grandmother called “Grandma Tell Me Your Memories…” where each page would ask a question with space for her to write a response. When she moved into the nursing home, she went through her belongings and gave back a number of her processions, as … Continue reading Memories are truly Golden
The Early bird catches the worm
My dad, known as “Early” to a number of us, is certainly one of a kind. He is famous for one-liners, most of which I have heard all my life. For instance, if you call him on the phone and ask “What’s up?” He’ll reply with “Everything that ain’t down!” Or, on your birthday he’ll … Continue reading The Early bird catches the worm
My little Monkey
It’s hard to believe that seven years have gone by since I became a Mom. My baby has become a little boy right in front of me. And it’s been fun witnessing his growth with all the milestones; walking, riding a bike, blowing a bubble, whistling, starting school, printing his name, and most recently reading. … Continue reading My little Monkey
What happens in Paris doesn’t stay in Paris
I am fortunate to still be good friends with a girl I met in Kindergarten, and a girl I met while very lost on the first day of high school. This year, us good friends are all turning 30 40, and one of the husbands decided that we should celebrate this fact in Paris. Unfortunately, … Continue reading What happens in Paris doesn’t stay in Paris
Celebrating my sister
I am fortunate to have grown up with a sister. We are five years apart in age, so her role often mirrored a “motherly” one, except the time when she convinced me to buy her used make-up and chocolates (that were a gift). I’m still annoyed by that. Growing up with an older sister made … Continue reading Celebrating my sister
A Warrior I love
There is this person in my life with whom I can be completely myself. I can say anything with no fear of being judged, ridiculed, or ignored. Sure, he may tease me, but our relationship is full of moments where we make fun of each other or laugh out loud at ourselves. The connection we … Continue reading A Warrior I love
Spring is in the Air
Upon our arrival for soccer practice, the door to the gym was locked and not a soul in sight. So, with there clearly being no practice, and it also being 15 degrees and sunny out, I decided Little T and I should walk down the street and check-out the local ice-cream shop. The patio was … Continue reading Spring is in the Air
Sweet Potato Fries
For supper tonight, I decided to give Sweet Potato French Fries a try as a side along with our sausages. A few weeks ago, I saw this lonely sweet potato in our drawer, and decided to chop it up and throw it in with the roast chicken. Delish! It had been awhile since I had … Continue reading Sweet Potato Fries
23 years young
I met my step-daughter K sixteen years ago and have had the privilege of watching her grow into a young woman of 23 years. K has always been full of imagination which came out strong in her childhood passions including Barbie, Sailor Moon and Spice Girls. She joined the local Gymnastics club and later took … Continue reading 23 years young
Sometimes life’s lessons cost a mixer
Little T’s class celebrated Carnival last week, and the teacher had sent home a note asking each child to bring something to share for a breakfast buffet. Not having a clue what to make (I prefer the letters that say “bring cut up peppers”) I thought about slapping together some buns with butter and salami. … Continue reading Sometimes life’s lessons cost a mixer
