All gone. Those were the words of finality that were expressed today at the loss of my daughter's new pregnancy. This would have been her and her husband's third child. This would have been Babyman and Dr. Evil's new sibling. This would have been my sixth grandbaby. It won't be though, because ... well I don't … Continue reading All Gone
The Lost Package of Maturity
Have you ever had a package get lost? I have. Today. My package was not on my front porch, even though UPS and Amazon said it was. I got frustrated and I felt a little crazy. I looked everywhere they've ever left a package. Nothing. I called 1-800-PICK-UPS. I had to talk to a faux … Continue reading The Lost Package of Maturity
Grainy
Cornbread. Cabin walls. Pretentious personalities. Sand in my swimsuit. Low light photography. My middle aged memories. Today's daily prompt. GRAINY I'm sorry this sounds like the random answers to some family night board game category, but it's all I've got tonight. I take that back, I'm not really sorry; I like game night!

Rainbow Platitudes
Not every storm produces a rainbow. Not every rain shower yeilds flowers. Sometimes it just rains. Storms come. Floods happen. Rain falls. That's life. Too often we settle for platitudes when we should acknowledge and accept that crap happened. We can learn and grow, or we can keep passing off Pinterest quotes and out of … Continue reading Rainbow Platitudes
Thought of the Day (8/10/2017)
I recently realized that my eating habits range from "Feast, for tomorrow we die." and "We have 2 cans of green beans and a can of fruit cocktail since the zombie apocalypse happened; maybe it's time to scout for supplies.".
Jury Duty
Here I am once again, jury duty. This is the 3rd time in 4 years that I've been called. In the 20+ years I've lived in this county, I've been called 4 times total. Other people I know in this same county have never been called even though they may have lived here even longer. … Continue reading Jury Duty
Is Rey As Boring As Me?
Reason #31 I am boring... Feast your eyes on this masterpiece. I dressed up as Rey from Star Wars: The Force Awakens for Halloween last year. I fabricated most of what you see in the picture. I will say I was pretty proud of myself when it all came together! As I walked around my neighborhood with my grandbabies trick-or-treating, … Continue reading Is Rey As Boring As Me?
Three Little Birds … In My Garage
Do you believe in signs? Do you believe God talks to us, sending little or maybe not so little messages? I do. I do because it has happened a lot in my lifetime. Tonight I came home, opened my garage door, and pulled my van in just like normal. Tonight though, there was a bird … Continue reading Three Little Birds … In My Garage
Grand Grit
Daily Post Word Prompt: Grit I've lived in my house for 12 years. It was newly constructed with a freshly landscaped yard. My daughters were teenagers when we moved in. We had a dog and two cats. My children have since married and moved out. There is only one dog left. The yard is well … Continue reading Grand Grit
Lazy – Reason #1- to Being Boring
I found this sign in St. Thomas at Senor Frogs. It is one of my favorite finds from my cruise last February. I think the grammar is weird, but I am willing to forgive that because of the humor and truth this sign exudes. What is lazy? Oxford says it is an unwillingness to work … Continue reading Lazy – Reason #1- to Being Boring
