Did you ever have a friend that life picked on? I do.
Not that she didn’t get her share of blessings (and more!) but she keeps having accidents.
One year at Christmas she was so sick, it took her a month to get over her illness. Another she was bitten by a brown recluse and was in [...]

Whenever I think of Memorial Day, I think of the year I was pregnant with our first son. My DH had wanted a sailboat for sometime, so we finally bought one. A twenty foot Daysailer with a cuddy cabin. (You can see a picture of them here.)
Memorial Day dawned beautiful. The sky was brilliant [...]

I’ve never been a person who lived for weekends because I’ve alway enjoyed my job. Or the people I work with. But it seems more and more, my weekends are becoming the focus.
Mainly because I wasn’t getting them.
Oh, Saturday and Sunday kept coming, but they haven’t been acting like they were supposed to.
They’ve been full of [...]

Yesterday was our wedding anniversary. DH and I officially celebrated while we were in Nawlins, but I couldn’t let the “real” night pass without something special.
MS and I went to Tulsa to find flooring for the house he’s moving in to. (I have yet to tell you about my fantastic weekend. Maybe tomorrow.)
So while we were [...]

Yesterday was the opening of squirrel hunting season here in Oklahoma.
It was also my doctor’s birthday. (I called to tell him hbd, but he’d taken the day off. Lucky guy.)
And, most importantly, it was Sister Debbie’s birthday. Actually, she said she wasn’t having birthdays anymore, so we switched mid-tune from HAPPY BIRTHDAY to OH, HAPPY [...]

Our RWI meeting was Saturday. I know it’s Thursday. Wonder why I’m just now telling you about the meeting?
I’m just now catching up.
When I walked into the meeting Saturday (during the critique session) I noticed a blond woman who wasn’t a member, but didn’t pay much attention. We frequently have visitors. Especially when we have [...]

Yeah, I know. I’m late with my MD post. Sorry about that #4, but as you know, Mother’s Day is a little hard.
See, my mom was the best mom God ever created. And I didn’t just come to this realization after her death. I’ve always thought she was the coolest.
She was only 20 when I [...]

DH and I went to New Orleans last weekend–and we had a fantastic time!!!
Here’s how it happened. One day DH called me at work. “Want to g o to New Orleans to hear Buddy Guy?”
“When?” I love to listen to Buddy and I love Nawlins, so that was a no-brainer
“Two weeks.”
Gulp. Two weeks. Too close [...]

We had another birthday party. That makes three this month. It was DH’s birthday, so even though he didn’t want to, we HAD to celebrate his big day. Here’s a shot of the guys.
In the second picture, the guys are acting normal. #1 (in the hat) is in Pirate mode, and he’s hilarious. DH and MS [...]
