Last week we helped H move into her dorm room…in CALIFORNIA! She picked a school the farthest away from home she could! It’s a great fit, and she is thrilled to be there, so we’re truly happy for her. But it’s such a strange feeling, to go from having her here to NOT having her …
We celebrated my dad’s 75th birthday last night with almost all his siblings and spouses, which is all he wanted to do. It was such a nice evening, and reminded me of how much my family means to me. When I was growing up, my dad was my touchstone. He was the one I measured …
Twenty two years ago, I met a boy. He made me laugh the first time we met. He was very different from the guys I had dated, because he was so open and didn’t hide from his feelings. In fact, from the very first day we met, I have never wondered where I stood with …
Woke up to rain this morning…blessed cool rain. I had forgotten how much I love rainy mornings when I don’t have to be anywhere. In a few hours, the madness of Thanksgiving week begins, but for now, I can relax with my coffee and my crossword puzzle while my dogs sleep on the floor next …
It’s Saturday morning, the first weekend of the school year, and I’m sitting in the kitchen, doing the crossword puzzle, waiting for H to wake up.

I know I post this sight quite a bit, but the summer view of the quiet lake showing the perfect mirror image is so beautiful! Yes, I am still alive. I am sitting on the balcony at our lake house in North Carolina, reading and relaxing before the weekend of July 4th activities begins. This …
I’m not the only one in my family who’s been hit hard by the pollen in Nashville this spring. For me, it has aggravated my asthma to the point that the medication doesn’t seem to be doing anything to help. I can’t run more than a mile without chest pain that feels like a truck …
My husband owns his own business…he runs it from just about anywhere. That is a good thing when we want to spend weeks at a time in North Carolina. He still needs to check in every now and then, but he spends more and more time in our home office. He is always busy…answering emails, …
It’s 6:30 a..m…my favorite time of day. My family is still sleeping and I have an hour or two to eat my toast, catch up on emails, read the paper, and today I decided to face the horror of (DUM DUM DUM) the unwritten blog post. It’s been so long since I’ve written anything that …
Yes, I know, I haven’t posted anything in a long time. Basically, it’s just all the normal, every day mom stuff. Went to New York for a bar mitzvah. Can I just say, it was kind of OVER THE TOP!! But other than the zillions of dollars they spent on the extravaganza, it was actually …
