The last actual Tigers game we attended was in 2018 when we went to a Spring Training game in Florida. We got married the day before that game! … Continue reading Birthday Shut Out →

Moments To Remember

I have mentioned how messes raise my anxiety levels. When the kids are playing in slime, or with play dough, or painting I am anxiously awaiting the mess. They have a sandbox that they love to play in. Naturally, the sand winds up on the side porch, in their shoes, on the driveway, in the … Continue reading Moments To Remember →

660 Months Old

Thank you, AI, for making me look thrilled to be turning 55 today. I'm not sure exactly when the excitement of turning another year older started to fade. Today, it is just another day, despite everyone trying to make it a big deal. The folks at work all signed a card and brought brownies and … Continue reading 660 Months Old →

Life’s Little Moments

Tax Time We did our taxes this weekend. Well, we didn't, but our tax guy did. It's always nice to know that you're getting a refund. What was even nicer was to know that we are getting back money from the state taxes, too. It's never really a lot of money, but it is better … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

The Music of My Life – 1970

As I celebrate birthday 54, I am borrowing (ok, stealing) an idea from another blogger. I have altered the idea a bit, and may decide to change it up after a few posts ...
