We’re Back

We’re back from our “roadrunner” trip to SC.  We got Nathan moved into his new rental house and I have to say it really is a nice place.  It’s in a nice area and the house is nice and big enough for us to stay in when we go down to visit.  I do think I’ll [...]

A Quick Trip

I had planned on doing a post about hair today, but I have a few more things I want to add to it that I won’t have time for today.  You’ll understand what I mean when you see it.  Anyway , just a little about my day.  We got up this morning and got packed  [...]

Sour Cream Coconut Cake

Every once in a while I come across a great recipe for something that is simple and tastes heavenly.  One of those recipes is Sour Cream Coconut Cake.  I can’t remember who I got this from but I have been making this cake since before I was married and before I even knew how to cook. Since I’m [...]

Saturdays

Ahh, it’s Saturday!  What is it about this day?  For some reason it seems ok to do  things you might feel guilty about on a weekday.  Like sleeping late, or watching movies or food network all day.  Sitting on the couch reading a book sounds real good.  If I don’t want to cook a meal and [...]

My Best Friend Here on Earth

I have I think covered just about all the relationships in my life except I wanted to save the best for last.  In a few weeks I will be celebrating my 24th wedding anniversary.  Let me preface by saying that I do not have a perfect marriage and neither does anyone else out there.  However, I [...]

My Future Best Friend

Yesterday I bragged about about my boys and no doubt they are special. But as a mom I realize that as my daughter grows up she will probably be the one I develope a close friendship with.  I am aware that at this point in her life her need is for me to be her mother [...]

My Favorite Friends

Several years ago during a meal at a restaurant,  I realized something I had never realized before.  Both my sons were now adults.  Not only were they adults, but they were just great people.  Now let me assure you that raising them was not the easiest task in the world.  They talked a lot, they asked a [...]

A Day of Rest

Today was one of those days that I rarely experience.  I had a day of rest. I literally did not go out of the house.  Not only is this kind of day something I just don’t have the time to take, but it the the kind of day that is usually hard for me to make [...]

Brothers and Sisters

I got an email the other day I would like to share with you, but first let me give you a little background information.  I have 2 brothers and 1 sister all of whom I love very very much.  But my younger brother was born when I was 12 and so naturally I became somewhat  protective [...]

Family Friends

Today at noon we meet with Charleys immediate family for our birthday celebration for those who have recently had birthdays.  We do this about 3 or 4 times a year with his family.  After that we will all go to the wedding of one of the cousins where we will see extended family.  Over the years I have [...]
