Has this week flown by or what? I’m trying to remember what I could have done to make it go by so quickly but, yeah, I got nothing. Maybe it’s just that I’m getting older and time flies… I’m finally starting to branch out and get a little more creative with my self portraits. It’s…

Random Saturday
1. I spent some time at my “fortress of solitude” aka the Cape Girardeau Conservation Center. I love it there. It’s so quiet. I just grab my camera and walk. Sometimes I’ll come across other people and we’ll chat for a bit, other times, it’s as if I have the whole wooded area to myself.…

1. Today we were finally able to celebrate Miss 15’s birthday. We had cupcakes and ice cream. Her mother lacks creativity and baking skills so we ate store~bought cupcakes. 2. Thursday morning the kids came running into the house screaming and whooping “School is cancelled! School is cancelled!” So I hopped up out the bed…

The boy got his learner’s permit this week. That’s pretty scary. I’ve lived with this boy all of his life and I’ve seen him do some things that have made me shake my head… Now he’s about to be turned lose on the public. Behind the wheel of a vehicle. Have you ever looked in…

1. That’s me with Miss 17. I’m so incredibly proud of her. I’m also slowly but surely preparing myself to let go as she prepares to go to college. I will not cry. On Friday, she and I hung out and did a bit of shopping, eating and talking. Seeing my daughter grow from a…
Loose Threads and Other Random Thoughts
Weekends in my house tend to be quiet. The kids usually go and stay with my mother~in~law pretty much from the minute they step off the bus until we force ask them to come home. And the hubs either works, races or hangs out with his friends so I’m pretty much left to my own devices,…
