These are a few of my favorite things…unhurried tears

This morning on the way to pick up snacks for this weekends event, I found myself crying to one of Amy Grant’s songs – not sure what it’s called, but I would title it “Why?”  It’s been a while since I’ve heard this song; the first time I remember hearing it was probably the same [...]

These are a few of my favorite things….right turns and slowing down

Today was a busy day with a wrap up meeting for the Snacks and Snapshots with Santa upcoming event, and since it’s Mother’s Day Out for Sammy I am usually running errands.  It wasn’t my desire, nor intention, to be gone until time to pick him up, but alas, that was the case today.  Sawyer [...]

Medusa has briefly appeared…

My house just got quiet about 11:45pm.  To say that I probably look like Medusa with a headband this evening is humorous to think about!  Tony has just gotten over the “crude” (actually, he still has a bit left, but he’s much better) and now he has a stress fracture in his foot and needs [...]

More to say in just one day

Tonight before leaving the bathroom, I picked up the small blue rubber snake off the floor in front of the toilet.  There was some concern that if I came to the bathroom during the night (which is a given), that I would step on it and lose much more than I wanted to!  This is [...]
