Father's Day began for me on Saturday morning. We celebrated Saturday because Sam had to work on Sunday. When I returned home from work, my kids were already up and waiting.

A Great Fall Weekend!

This weekend marked the 14th anniversary of my mother's passing. It was very much on my mind through the entire weekend.

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.
