Sometimes there are stories that need to be remembered forever and ever. After spending a weekend with my smart, charming, hilarious grandsons there are a few things that I need to be able to look back on and laugh. I always say "Oh, that's so awesome I would never forget it" but I always do. … Continue reading Saving for Posterity
Missing My Girl
Today would have been Jenna's 35th birthday. She's been gone for just over two years now and I struggle to find words that would adequately express what she meant to me. I fell head over heals in love with her the very first time I looked into her eyes. She had me and my whole … Continue reading Missing My Girl

It … Continue reading Thoughts Become Actions
Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered
Day 1 (actually, day 1/2 since I still have a run this evening) started off with a bang. Or a bungle. Either way, I was out of bed before 6am. That NEVER happens! I'm not a morning workout person. Never have been. But I am so far out of race condition that it has become … Continue reading Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered
