Martin’s sweet old cocker spaniel died today.
Well, actually we had to have her put to sleep, but she was very close to going on her own anyway and we just couldn’t stand to have her be so confused and she wasn’t eating and…okay, you know what, let’s not dwell on this.
later on I’ll dig through [...]

up till this year I swore I would never do a “Beth Moore bible Study”
First off I thought she was just a “self help” type of writer.
Also I hated the marketing campaign. I thought it was awful (although certainly not unique) that every time you see a poster for one of her bible studies [...]

This whole weekend my hubby and I both felt out of sync. With each other and the world in general.
I was grumpy and he was just….not all there. It was weird. We weren’t communicating well. Nothing disastrous, just little things that didn’t go as planned and we couldn’t quite adjust.
I was [...]

I took photos all over Dallas this weekend. I’ll post those later, but the best photo was the one I didn’t take.
We visited Martin’s one remaining Aunt. His Father’s sister. She lives at home with constant nursing supervision. She is not physically doing well. As a matter [...]

This past Saturday it was scheduled to rain all day.
And boy howdy it sure did. It rained loud, it thundered, lightening-ed, blew hard, and whispered quietly. It misted, it came down in sheets, at times it sounded almost like hail.
It was truly a fashion show of everything rain can do to a house.
And what did [...]

Ever looked at endless photos of yourself and all you can see are the faults? the flaws, the not quite right stuff?
Martin and I have being looking at a lot of photos of us recently for our adoption portfolio and I have to say I’m married to a handsome man. Even when scruffy from [...]

you know the Mazda commercial? the zoomzoomzoom ones? Well I’ve decided to re-name my cat.
or at least to name her “welcome home” personality.
When we get home in the evenings she has a routine.
First Kenya comes tearing down the steps and stops at about eye level and meows till her daddy picks her up. [...]

There’s going to be a fair amount of “movie reviews” showing up on my blog between now and August.
Why?
Am I a movie buff? no.
Do I feel I have something to add to the famous critics and pundits who review each and every piece of fluff that comes out of Hollywood? no.
So [...]

For the record, Martin and I had a lovely Valentines.
First off he delivered flowers to me in the middle of the work day PERSONALLY. My co-workers are all still green with envy. Then, on the way home, we spontaneously stopped at a local restaurant we’ve been meaning to try. The waiter was a little too [...]
