The days of waiting are over. The ‘virtual’ trip to the bank website to see if my balance had increased while I slept - done with. The hope that maybe we’d have a bit of extra cash this summer - dashed.

I was struck this past week - Memorial Day to be exact - while I was watching the news. They did a segment on the high cost of fuel, and how it was impacting people’s lives. They then mentioned that they had their inbox filled with stories about this, and shared a couple of them, [...]

Ruin  1990 - 2008
She started out as one of a pair - a couple of mutts belonging to my middle son. They were a mis-matched pair to look at - one like a German Shepherd not put together quite right, and the other marked like a doberman, but who was a bit fluffy and had [...]

Since tomorrow is Mother’s Day, I’ve been thinking back about my Mom. She’s been gone for a long time, but never from my heart.
That memorable day really started a bit before….I think I must have been between 4 and 5 years old - and ever week, like clockwork, Mom and I would walk to the [...]

This has been a precious weekend for me.
Visits to Raleigh are too few…and all the more precious for it. When one of my boys decides to come this way with a grandchild in tow…oh, my that is an EVENT!
My middle son was on a “Daddy-Daughter” weekend with Desaray, who just turned four. She is the [...]

Way back in 2003, I had a conversation with God. I had been alone for five long years, and was wanting so very much to have someone in my life that would love me just for me….someone I could share with unconditionally. It seemed that God did not have that in His plans for me. [...]

Finally the funeral day had arrived. My husband and I joined all our friends going to the viewing at the funeral home - giving what comfort and support to our friend that we could. It was a sad time, but she was surrounded by family and friends, and somehow that made it better.
