Strange Month May 2020 has been a weird month, and I know that I don't have to explain why to anybody. I hope whoever is reading this is okay, and you aren't struggling too much. We're okay. We're still staying home for the most part and only going out when necessary. I don't like having to … Continue reading May
The older I get, the more I find joy in simply being alive. Even when the going gets tough, there's something to be said for being able to experience Life with all its ups and downs. I think it's harder when you are young to see the larger picture of one's life, and it's very … Continue reading April
I wrote my monthly post for March on the 5th, but so much in the world has changed since then that I thought another March post might be warranted. Whew. How are you doing? I hope your family is healthy and you are coping with the self-isolation that is so important for all of us right now. … Continue reading March Madness & Silver Linings
February came and went, and I had every intention of writing a blog post last month, but I was never able to finish anything I started. February is usually the coldest month in Georgia, and this year was no exception. It even snowed one day, and it was beautiful for a few hours. Mostly it's … Continue reading March
Happy New Year! I hope your new year has had a good start. Despite all the distressing news I read in the media, I am hopeful that 2020 will be a good year. I hope it will contain more good than bad. I believe that no matter how misguided some people may be, deep down … Continue reading January
December, and especially the Winter Solstice, seems like a good time for reflection to me. With cooler temperatures, I want to stay home and curl up with a good book. Or write some poetry. I never get to do that, but it's nice dreaming about it. 😉 I know this time of year can be … Continue reading December
Looking back at my October post, I see that I promised to reveal the bird that my younger son was for Halloween. Well, here you go....he was a cardinal this year. I think this bird (his third bird costume and fourth Halloween being a bird) was inspired by a little cardinal friend we have. I'll … Continue reading November
Every once in a while, I will look around my house at all the dust and clutter (sometimes with amusement; sometimes with angst), and I wonder if I'll ever make it to the other side of homeschooling. And if I do make it, will there really be more free time? More time to clean and … Continue reading October
September brings with it the relief of a new school year. A fresh start. It brings cool mornings, though, unfortunately, not cool afternoons. In fact, it's some of the hottest weather we've had all summer, and I'm pining for cooler temperatures, but I know I should be careful what I wish for. I love sitting … Continue reading September
August has been a hefty month, but this will be a brief post. Where do I start? Well, I guess I'll start with the end of July. My husband and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. Yay, us. But then, at the beginning of August, my husband had a heart attack. What a shock to all … Continue reading August
