It has been fun to go back through some of the old photos from our family albums. Today, we have … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Waiting in “the line”

According to Google, the average person will spend 6 months of their lives waiting in line. If you factor in waiting at traffic lights and being in a queue online or on the phone, that jumps to 5 years! I have seen the above picture more than once before. It has always struck a chord … Continue reading Waiting in “the line” →

Celebrating My Children!

In the Bible, in Psalm 127:3-5, it reads: "(3) Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. (4) As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. (5) Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them" My quiver has been … Continue reading Celebrating My Children! →

Weekend Ride on the Emotional Rollercoaster of Life

It's been a crazy past few days. On Friday, we took Andrew to the ENT to discuss the results of his sleep study. He has severe sleep apnea. Usually, this means that the tonsils or the adenoids need to come out to open up the airway. The doc took a look at his and said … Continue reading Weekend Ride on the Emotional Rollercoaster of Life →

Interview with Dave from A Sound Day

One of the things I have loved about blogging is "meeting" other bloggers who share the same interests as me. One of those bloggers is Dave whose blog is called "A Sound Day." If that sounds familiar, it is because he is the host of the "Turntable Talk" blogs that I have participated in for … Continue reading Interview with Dave from A Sound Day →

Friday Photo Flashback

This is a "feature" I started a while ago with a Daily Writing Prompt, and I have enjoyed it so much, I have decided to keep doing it. This week - two for the price of one.

I Can See Clearly Now?

I picked up my new glasses on Tuesday and they are going to take some getting used to. I wore glasses from 4th grade right up until I had Lasik surgery about 20 years ago. My eyes were bad. Without them, everything was a blur. The Lasik surgery was more than I could have imagined! … Continue reading I Can See Clearly Now? →

Almost 30 …

I try to hold myself accountable as I continue my weight loss journey. I neglected to post this week's weigh in results. I really was not sure what to expect this week as I had a bad day where I went over the points I was allowed. I tried to counter that by walking an … Continue reading Almost 30 … →

The Sounds of Summer Are Very Different Today

On Saturday, I took my kids out for our neighborhood walk. As we walked, we heard the normal "sounds of summer." There were plenty of birds singing, dogs barking, and kids playing in the pool. On one stretch of sidewalk, I could hear loud laughter and muffled music playing from a radio. As we got … Continue reading The Sounds of Summer Are Very Different Today →
