And that folks is how to introduce your kids to the local fire dept.

Every time I’m getting my kids in and out of the car I’m reminded of this riddle:
A boy has a tiger, a goat, and some greens that he must take into town

under, or fly over the river. He must cross [...]

Throwback Thursday

“The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.”  Alan Patrick Herbert
Yesterday I blew it and made my husband feel miserable all day just because I wouldn’t listen to his feelings. I can be so stubborn sometimes.  In [...]

Free schtuff

I love it when the seasons change.  Sentimental feelings well up in me as I pull out my seasonal decorations.
Dustin proposed to me in the fall so naturally it reminds me of falling in love.
I think today I’ll re-read some of the letters we exchanged during our five years of being pen pals.
Speaking of letters, [...]

Who is this woman?

I am now a brunette.  I couldn’t really re-do my hair without over processing it, so I went dark. Real dark.
It’s fun. It’s like trying on a whole new attitude and style. I’m reminded of the time in High School when I dressed up my really conservative - people pay big bucks for this kind [...]
