Blog # 300!!

Another Milestone Well, here it is - my 300th blog post. To be completely honest, I have a few more than 300, but some were kept private. So this is my 300th "published" blog. Over the past few blogs, I knew this milestone blog was coming, and wondered just how a blogger celebrates this kind … Continue reading Blog # 300!! →

Expanding on an earlier Facebook post.

I am on vacation.  I have the next week off and will have my sons all week.  I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to have them over.  I am hoping that the weather will cooperate and we'll get to do some fun things this week.   This vacation could not have come … Continue reading Expanding on an earlier Facebook post. →

The Journey (The Second Time Around)

Tune Tuesday – Feelin’ Good

One of my followers asked how picked my songs for Tune Tuesday.  To be honest, I have no rhyme or reason for the songs that end up here.  Last week, I wrote about Marvin Gaye for his birthday, and the week before that it was Nat King Cole for his birthday.  Today, it just happens … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Feelin’ Good →

Part II – The Proposal

Yesterday's blog was an emotional one to write.  I put some things in it that I had been quiet about for some time (depression, suicide, divorce, and unhappiness). It came as a surprise to many, and the wonderful words shared by friends on Facebook, and right here on my page meant more to me than … Continue reading Part II – The Proposal →

The Beginnings of a Beautiful Friendship

One year ago tonight, right about the time I am writing this blog, Sam and I posted a picture on Facebook of us in front of the "Welcome to Kentucky sign".  We were on our way down to Florida for a vacation that would not only serve as a vacation, but also as our honeymoon.  … Continue reading The Beginnings of a Beautiful Friendship →
