I’ve been tagged by Rory at Hamelife to do this meme.
“If you were only allowed five songs, what would they be? Take five, and only five, that you would happily hold onto if all the rest of your music was demanded from you.”
I used to love music… This is actually a really hard meme for me because the older I get, the less I’m able to listen to music — or even watch TV. I know it sounds … Read More

I know. I’m nuts. But, go ahead. Try this sheep herding game and see if you can get all eight sheep in the pen, then report back! I’ll even give you a hint. Just as in real life, don’t let your “dog” chase the sheep.
Darned if Cait didn’t get all eight in before I did.
I never said I was good at herding –just that I like it! :)… Read More
I wasn’t actually driving a little red corvette; it was a silver BMW. But Prince’s song was going through my head as I found myself shushing through the curves along the back roads to Vermont just a little too fast. I was taking a friend of mine to the hospital for day surgery, and, knowing how much I enjoyed a good car, she’d volunteered hers for the drive. Since it’s been a few decades since I’ve had a manual shift … Read More
I admit it, I used to be a regular Murphy’s Oil Soap user.
Those commercials with the older ladies polishing the wooden pews and floors of that big ol’ church packed a powerful, underlying one-two message. Your mothers and grandmothers use Murphy’s Oil Soap religiously, and so should you! Or, how about this one: If it’s good enough for God’s house, it’s good enough for yours!
So I smiled when I came across a blog post written by a young … Read More
I’m typically not a very sentimental person. I can do without all the Hallmark Holidays. The only feelings I care about are the ones that are unsolicited and genuinely offered, the ones that don’t have to be coaxed or coached, or require an appointed day.
I’m also not a saver of any kind of stuff, really. Except for a few pieces of Cait’s baby clothes I think she’d like to have, anything not in use gets given to friends or … Read More
When I was growing up, we lived out in the country where there were a lot of animals, but not a lot of kids. Animals were my constant companions. When I wasn’t busy with my horses, dogs, cats, and the cows (not ours) out in the back pasture, I’d amuse myself with my mind. Like my daughter, Caitlin, I wasn’t a great sleeper, so while lying awake at night I’d often play “What If” games.
Some of my “What If’s” … Read More
Go ahead. Laugh. Get it out of your system. I’ll wait.
Yes, I know I look like that guy in the Fargo movie. But I don’t care. This is still my favorite Christmas present, no matter what anybody thinks.
Kiera likes to walk everyday. Regardless of what the thermometer reads. I’m here to tell you — upstate NY gets COLD in the middle of winter. But me? I’ll be toasty warm in my ridiculous looking hat with the fake fur … Read More
