I have a ton of Christmasy-related stuff to be doing. Not to mention putting all of the china and glassware back in the corner cabinet and pulling the good stainless out of the everyday stainless kitchen drawer.Instead of working and thinking about those things, I have pulled the master bedroom apart and I am giving [...]

Day After Thanksgiving Tradition.
Today, we all head West to the Christmas Tree Farm. We do this every year the day after Thanksgiving. For the first time ever, My Girl is working and not going with us. I'm trying not to think about it. I might end up balled up in the corner sucking my thumb if I dwell [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
Just a quick good morning and wishing you the happiest of Thanksgiving days. Our house is quiet and still. For ten minutes more. At 9:00, the troops will be roused and the quiet will be broken with teen and twenty-somethings moaning and groaning and grumbling. And I couldn't be more happy to hear it in [...]
Some thoughts on this Thanksgiving Eve.
I stuck around in bed for an extra hour and a half after I woke up this morning. Snug as a bug, thinking about past Holiday Season celebrations. By the way, I am totally cool with referring to the time frame between Halloween and the first week of January as The Holidays or The Holiday [...]

One is on the back of the Nestle Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chip package and the other is in the Betty Crocker Cookbook my Mame gave me when [...]

Lack of Control.
Saturday Morning before Thanksgiving. My Girl was the first one up. Let's clarify that. She was only the first one up because Wesson, her GSD puppy, was the first one up. But she stayed up and chose to make sure we all knew it by apparently touching every dish in the kitchen according to My [...]
Letting Go.
When I held him in my arms the very first time, it is true that I wasn't exactly wondering if he would one day become a NFL player, rocket scientist, lead in a rock band or the next JFK. Mostly because his father was whooping it up with the doctor that we were all wrong [...]
Just a short, rambling post.
I forgot to mention that yesterday was My Man's 54th birthday! Yes, he is considerably older than I am. Yes, I was a child bride. No, I am not in denial. Well, maybe just a little. Happy Belated Birthday to My Husband. He truly is an incredible father to our children and I couldn't be [...]
