Playing All Weekend

Its hard to believe the weekend is over already. Weekends go fast anyway, but you would think a 3 day weekend - one that started at noon Friday for me — would have taken a little longer. But, it sure went by fast. You would have thought we were on treadmills, staying […]

Showing My Appreciation

I will probably just send them a thank you card, but the thought occured to me that I should send David’s girls gift baskets (filled with fun camping stuff, like marshmallows and chocolate and bug spray and ….) for everything they have done this weekend. I have cooked a couple of the meals, but […]

Figuring It Out

We were sitting around the campfire a couple nights ago. My son-in-law works in tech support, and we were talking about his job, and what he does. And he said something about a used cisco. I had heard that word before but wasn’t sure just what it was. He tried explaining […]

Blogging Makes Me Happy

I can’t remember a time in my life when getting the details of my life down on paper wasn’t the forefront thought in my mind. From the time I learned to write, through my turbulant teenage years, and an even more turbulant marriage at a young age, pen and paper was always there.
Going into […]

Finding The Right Shoes

I am so glad summer is here. With the problems I have been having with the swelling of my ankles and feet, being able to slip into a pair of sandals has been a god-send. I’m not sure I could have gotten into any kind of regular shoes, even Ecco shoes and even […]

Getting Comfy

One night in our new camper, and we knew we had to do something. Getting a mattress topper- or an airmattress or something. Sleeping on the ground would have felt better. I know the mattress you sleep on needs to be firm, but this seemed to go beyond firm. It didn’t […]

Loving My New Phone

I am slowly learning what all my new phone — a Blackberry — is capable of doing. I am so impressed, and am so loving everything I can do with it. One thing it does do, that I probably won’t utilize, but kinda wish I could. It has a GPS application. […]

One Step At A Time

I have a friend who is THE best friend in the world. Even though they have moved several hours away, and time may have dulled the sharp edges of our friendship, we are still good friends, and she always seems to be there for me, to help me back up when I stumble. […]

Time To Grill

Mostly sunny. Highs around 78. Lows around 46. South winds 5 to 10 mph.

We couldn’t have asked for a better day. Esp. after all the storms that have been rolling through here, and Missori and Arkansas. The sun was shining. No wind. A perfect spring day. David’s brother called […]

Finding A Solution

I am at the end of my rope. I am not in a good place, and I need to find my way out , whether it be on my own, with the help of products such as Leptovox or resorting to see my doctor. This goes beyond uncomfortable. I am […]

Getting Plans Into Place

Going into the month of May, it makes we realize that we need to start getting plans into place for going to Branson, if we decide to go in the fall. Time will get away from us if we aren’t careful. Since it is less than a day’s drive to […]

Counting My Blessings

When Brett came out to the office Thursday, and told us of some weather stuff he had been listening to, I knew it wasn’t going to be a good deal. We ended up getting some “weird” weather, but nothing too damaging. He was headed home and I called David and […]

Looking For A Mother’s Ring

David and I got married when we were in our 20’s. We brought 4 children to the marriage. He had 2 daughters and I had 2 sons. As time went along, I came to the conclusion that we wouldn’t have any more children once I turned 30. We had 4 children […]
