First, I saw this idea at Flutter’s, and she got it from Chani. And then I saw it at Slouching Mom and at Kyla’s blog, The Journey (a new find for me), too.
Even though most of us get very personal on our blogs, there’s little chance (outside of meeting in real life) to see the […]

All evening, I’ve been wading through online real estate listings. Which, it turns out, have funny words in them like rearyard.
I pulled this straight from the listing:
RESORT-STYLE REARYARD WITH ALL AMENITIES
I guess that because it’s resort-style, with all those amenities and everything, it must be fancier than a regular backyard. (Who knows, it’s probably be […]

This afternoon, I was at my desk in my office when Girl walked in and said, “Look at me, Mommy.”
I turned, and there she was, wearing a sweater the color of sky. It was a little big on her, and the sleeves hung just below her fingertips. In another year or so, I’d say, it […]

I’m just popping in to say that I’m still here and alive. The weekend was busy, and was overshadowed by my dad’s eventful and perplexing visit to the hospital (he’s still there). They still don’t really know what’s wrong, but we’re hoping tomorrow brings more, and better, news.
So, I’m sorry if I haven’t visited everyone […]

I noticed her from a distance. She headed toward us as we walked through the airport. If my mother noticed her, too, she said nothing.
The woman’s clothes were elegant, crisp and unwrinkled. Tasteful jewelry, expensive shoes, posture that was confident and unbent. Her hair and makeup were exactly right; her lipstick didn’t overstate its place […]

I may have mentioned once or twice that I’m feeling restless. This summer is doing that to me.
So today I’m going to pretend that you all live nearby, especially you, Madge. (Hey, guess what, a couple of you do live close!) If you’re all game, this is what I have in mind to shake off […]

Why I won’t be wearing capri pants or shirts with sleeves that hit above the elbow, for the next several days. Or a bathing suit (okay, so that’s a bonus)…

I’ll let you all in on a secret (those of you who know me, you know this): I’ve spent a good part of my adult life feeling quite sure that I didn’t enjoy being around other people all that much, with exceptions made for a few good friends and a few family members. I was […]

For selfish reasons, I’m digging out one of my favorite posts from my archives. It was somewhere around my 10th post–I had just started this blog–so a lot of you may not have read it. (As I mentioned in my last post, I could use a dose of open road and cowboy sighting.)
In it, I […]

If you’re hanging out here, chances are you’re not at that conference that shall not be named. Clearly, I’m not either.
And this week I’m really antsy. I haven’t been on my Thursday drive for weeks because the kids are out of school and Mr. H is out of town. Oh, and because of this:
So lately, […]
