Unexpected Moments…
There are moments in life that smack you in the face with the “unexpected”. Moments that you can look back on and say…”that was when my life changed”. Nothing could prepare you for the difference you would face after “that … Continue reading
Your Angel? Child…
I remember the days that my child was wearing on my last nerve. How many times had I said, “don’t”?… a hundred? “Don’t do this, don’t do that”…and how many times had she seemed to put cotton in her ears? … Continue reading

Kansas…
I’ve changed my header…notice the snow. This is the Kansas I remember. The Kansas I’ve come home to. It’s not the Pennsylvania mountains, not winding roads and trees, but it’s home, home on the range. As I drove I-70, I … Continue reading
A Grammy’s Gift…
This winter I’ve been given a gift. The gift of spending a few months with my oldest daughter and granddaughter, Isabella. Just to catch you up. My Big Boy and I have left Pennsylvania and he’s kind of all over … Continue reading

The Other Side Of Fence Can Be So Far Away…
I’m watching the saddest thing. Especially for a Grammy. Bella is an only child. I watch her play Barbies by herself, I watch her put puzzles together by herself, I watch her watch movies by herself. And every day I … Continue reading
