When Things Don’t Go As Planned…

#ankleReplacement #ankleReplacementGoneBad So- not to sound like an “influencer” but – “A few of you have asked for an update on my leg/ankle replacement recovery so I figured this was the best way to answer the question (that honestly I often have a hard time answering – without getting teary)…” I had my surgery in… Continue reading When Things Don’t Go As Planned…

Our Family Tree (like literally – a TREE!)

My parents moved to Texas in 1976 – thankfully they brought me with them, along with my two older brothers. They found our newly built (but not completed) home just as decisions needed to be made on wallpaper and colors.  We left California and moved into a “mansion” (or so it felt like to us)… Continue reading Our Family Tree (like literally – a TREE!)

“ETO” – October 2021

Monday, October 4, 2021 Today I did something a little crazy.  I set my “Out Of Office” message to reflect that…well…I’m actually “OUT OF THE OFFICE”!

#gameBall – Spring 2021

This week we went to our first Flag Football game in over 20 years.  The last one was when Brooke (our youngest – now 26 years old) was FIVE and was a “Buckeye”!  While the girl can definitely hold her own around a bunch of boys, she was not actually ON the “team” but was… Continue reading #gameBall – Spring 2021

Coming SOON – “Merry Christmas 2020″…in January 2021!

It’s January 19th – and my tree is still up. On top of that – all the gifts are still wrapped underneath. #winning We have had some weird Christmases the last three…well, now FOUR…years.  Christmas 2017 we all had the flu and by the time we could all gather as a family, we were into… Continue reading Coming SOON – “Merry Christmas 2020″…in January 2021!

#ftf – Connie

#ftf – Favorite Things Friday: sometimes I write about things (but usually people) that are my favorite!                     I have this friend…her name is Connie.  While I love to claim her as “my friend”, the truth is that I love that so many others claim her as well.  She is one of those people that… Continue reading #ftf – Connie
