Where I've been

Hi Blog!!!! I’ve missed you!!!! I’ve missed my readers, and I’ve missed reading all of your lovely blogs too!

I sort of stepped away from blogging for a while, not really sure why, I guess we all need a break from time to time. I have been missing my words lately, and I feel like I’ve [...]

pretty in pink

Just wanted to give you an update on Hope. There she is with her new BFF, “fiff-ford.”

We saw the orthopaedic doctor on Monday (whom we will not be seeing again because he was a total jerk. I would go into full detail here except that I already vented on facebook and it makes me tired [...]

thank you

Just wanted to say thank you for all of your kind comments and well wishes for a speedy recovery for little Hope.

She did really well last night, much better than we were expecting; and she has, for the most part, not complained about any pain today. We are keeping our fingers crossed that her recovery [...]

expect the unexpected

When we woke up this morning, little did we know what the day had in store for us. My plans included changing Hope’s diaper, having some of my husband’s delicious press pot coffee while spending a few moments with the family on the couch, showering, and rushing out of the door just in time to [...]

psssst

are you still there? I miss you. My blogging mojo is out of kilter. I hope to get back into the swing of things here soon. As you can see, I have lots of help at the computer these days. Happy help too. I’ve got some things I want to show you. I’ll be back [...]

I know how you feel, honey.

 

We’ve been sick around here in some form or another for the past two weeks. First came the cold. That worked it’s way through everyone but Barry and myself. Then came the stomach virus right on the heels of the cold. That worked it’s way through everyone but myself. I am the last one standing. [...]

Mixed blessing

The sky cleared a little this evening just long enough to see the sun in it’s last 10 minutes of glory before it dipped below the horizon. I was in the kitchen washing the dishes, when I noticed out of the corner of my eye that everything looked different outside. In stark contrast to all [...]

Mystic Cheerios

What goes down must come up. I’m not talking about the economy which, I fear, has a lot more down to go.

No, I’m talking about this past week. It’s just been one of those weeks when, try as hard as I can, I can’t keep the doldrums away. It’s nothing serious, and I eventually [...]

Afternoon tea

Well now, that last post was a bit heavy, eh? Let’s have some tea. I hope you take yours with a bit of honey and lemon?

edited on 12/22/08: I had to delete the previous post about war because it was getting hit with spam. I have activated something to help with that now, but I [...]

The craft that almost was

I had every intention of doing a Fall craft with leaves last week. One of my favorite things to do every year, is to collect colorful fallen leaves, press them, and then iron and seal them between two sheets of wax paper. We usually make placemats with the finished work to be used for Thanksgiving [...]
