Today I:

Finished getting the living ready to put up Christmas decorations…. I stayed in my pj’s all day long and was warm and cozy….. Put steaks out to thaw for the grill (indoor version)….. Watched Jurassic Park (complete with commercials), actually kind of liked it and...

Home Alone!

I had great plans for the day. I knew in advance that I would be home alone so I planned to do somethings to get ready for Christmas. It’s not often that there isn’t a soul in the house but me and I wanted to...

Another Thanksgiving Past

As usual my Thanksgiving was spent with just the hubby and I. For years, our children have spent Thanksgiving week with my parents camping in north Arkansas. This came about due to jobs and our kids not getting to spend as much time with my...

Bozo Hair

The day before our son was born, my husband and I went to Fred’s to pick up some things. While we were there I began feeling tightening and told him that I thought I was having contractions. Since we had already been to the doctor...

How Time Flies

Tuesday our baby boy turned 18. He’s excited and glad although he’s to “cool” to show it or to tell mom. I remember well the night/day he was born. I didn’t know how much love I would feel when they put him in my arms....

Still Small Voice

When I was a child my mother would wake me every morning before school. Generally, I could hear her walking down the hall so when she said, “Vicky”, I always responded, “I’m awake.” I did that so she wouldn’t turn the light on. To this...

Be An Ostrich

There’s an old myth about ostrich hiding their heads in the sand. I decided to Google this topic one day and found they really don’t hide their heads when the going gets tough. Too bad, it was a nice analogy. In fact, today is one...

Darning

This weekend I done something that I have never done before. Darned. Well, maybe not in the traditional sense of the word, but never the less. The entire time I was darning, I kept thinking that it sounded a lot more fun reading about it...

STOP! I Can’t Breathe!

My husband is a big prankster and tease. He’s gotten me many, many times during the past 18 years. One thing he done almost every night while we watch TV is to grap my nose and pinch it shut. Invariably, I would try to push...

The Any Key

Tammy and I were fortunate in that our dad got a computer while we were young. There wasn’t a lot we were allowed to do other than play a few games and since I was taking business classes I go to balance the checkbook on...

Friends

Many times over the years I’ve felt as if I needed a friend. The most memorable time was my senior year in high school. I’d attended the same school up through 11th grade and then my folks moved. A senior in a new school. I...
