One of the things that I miss the most is just chatting with Mom. Sitting at her kitchen table, having a cup of tea, and just talking. I miss that a lot. I took a minor tumble down the last half of my stairs yesterday, and as a result, I’m a bit sore. While the [...]

My ramblings on a variety of topics of interest. Be forewarned, I'm interested in many topics!

Once again, I find myself tackling a major political issue. One that has weighed heavily on me for several years. It’s the issue of torture and inhumane treatment of prisoners by the United States. Under the Patriot Act, anyone suspected of terrorist involvement can be arrested and imprisoned without the bother of due process. They [...]

It was a parking space this time. Some pretty strange things have reminded me of Mom, but this time it was the parking space at the grocery store. It’s the one with the big dip for the storm drain. Mom and I parked there once on a memorable trip to the grocery store. It was [...]

Outside my window… rather grey, but not terribly cold. The air was crisp when I went out to fetch a couple more bags of coal. I am thinking… that today might be a LONG day… I am thankful for… a certain little redhead sitting on my lap while I type. I am [...]

Steph over at My Life in Crumbs bestowed this honor upon me! And I am truly honored that she sees my blog as one worth reading. Now, I am to share seven things about myself before passing the award on to another friend. Quite a few years ago, my parents gifted me with a [...]

I’m an author. I can’t help it, writing is just in my blood. However, I am not a published author. I’ve submitted various articles, poems, etc. for publication, but have yet to actually see my work in print. Perhaps that’s part of the reason why I started blogging. It gives me the chance to share [...]

I used my crock-pot this week! That may seem like a mundane statement. You’d have to know me, I guess. My attempts at using a slow-cooker through my ten years of marriage have all failed abysmally. Just ask Aaron! I’d thought of just getting rid of the darn thing. Then I found out that you [...]

Outside my window… lots and lots of snow. I am thinking… about how Mom was always the type of woman who would jump in and do whatever needed to be done, even if she’d never done it before. I am thankful for… Dad clearing out the snow by my mailbox with the tractor. From the [...]

Happy New Year? Not exactly… Eventful perhaps. December 30th ended with me discovering that our waterbed mattress had split a seam. This brings to mind images of a tsunami raging down the hallway, but in reality, it was only a ¼ inch long split. It was enough to soak the edges of my bedding and [...]

This post may ramble on a bit, so I apologize in advance for that! We survived Christmas! It had its moments, but I still managed to have a nice Christmas. Two days in particular were hard for me… The first was a few days before Christmas when I was wrapping the last of the gifts. [...]
