Saturday mornings are so lovely...especially when spent sleeping in with your husband of 32 years. This is what empty nesting is beginning to look like...My Girl working full time, hitting the gym, time at the stable, and squeezing in time for her fiance, we might as well BE empty nesting already. And I have to [...]

Soon…a Wedding.

May 14, 2015February 18, 2016by Susan Wheeler Smith3 Comments

I hear her singing in the kitchen as I finish up my quiet time. Praise songs…worshipping as she makes her breakfast. My happy child. My Girl. Singing has always been her morning go-to. Waking up alone in her crib she would call out, “Momma?” I don’t answer right away because I know. The singing would [...]

February, March and April.

March 3, 2015February 18, 2016by Susan Wheeler Smith2 Comments

February. A cold, snowy, bleak month. Always made bright and sunny by the birthday celebration of the one who always laughed and smiled and truly just made this world a better place. This is the first year I have not gone to the cemetery on her birthday. I thought about it. I even headed out [...]

This Blog.

February 25, 2015by Susan Wheeler Smith1 Comment

Obviously, I am messing around with the formatting a bit. I need a change. It is actually pretty easy to change the templates here using Blogger. I could change the template and colors every day, if I wanted to.Why can't I do that with my home?Or, my wardrobe?Or, my hair color?Or, my weight?Today...I think I [...]

This is post number two I have started today. Post number one will eventually make it's way back to the forefront and, as a teaser, it is Part Two in my You Asked for It series and has to do with kids. That totally narrows it down for you, I know.If you are still hanging [...]

Recognizing the Perfection.

I began writing this post two days ago. I've brought into real-time the things that need to be, but left others, such as July 30's stunning weather description. It's my blog so I can do what I want, right? Or as we say in our family now: It is what it is. I wish you [...]

Mamie’s Brownies…A recipe.

July 26, 2014February 18, 2016by Susan Wheeler SmithLeave a Comment

I know I have raved about my Mamie's brownies before, but seriously...they are The Best. You can not mess them up, no matter what you do. Believe me, I have tried. I have added everything out of order. I haven't beaten the eggs beforehand. I never sift the dry ingredients together. And each batch? Purrrrrrfection.Lately, [...]

Catching up with The Smith’s.

July 24, 2014February 18, 2016by Susan Wheeler SmithLeave a Comment

I should be at CFA aka "bible study" with The Girls this morning. Instead, I am sitting on my not-so-new-anymore beloved blue couch trying to function. Fibromyalgia has won the battle after a very long and stressful two weeks of getting ready for vacation; having beach house keys in hand and receiving a phone call [...]

So I gave up on last week's New Thing and have moved on to a New, New Thing.Just kidding. But really, I know you want to know how the New Thing is progressing. Fine and dandy, actually. I'm not here to chat about that this morning, however. Today...a list. Just for you, Di.1. Beach week [...]
