This past week sitting with my mom I had time to go thru old photos. She has lots in albums but many pictures are still in boxes and in no particular order. I found this one of my dad. If I remember the story correctly he was cooking for home ec class. In Texas where [...]
This has been some of the hardest days of my life. Mom is still with us in body though I think she knows little of what is happening around her. I spoke a good while with her doctor last night catching him up on this weeks progress, regress or whatever we are calling it. Honestly [...]

Here is [...]
The remodeling game that is. While I am up and down the road visiting my mom and seeing to her hospital transfer, Husband has been hard at work. VERY hard at work. Our house is FULL of gawdawful paneling. I abhor paneling. I kid you not. Hate is not a [...]
I got the sweetest email from Deanna and am proud to display this lovely award! Thank you Deanna. Our time is precious and I appreciate you taking the time to read my blog!
