easter time, again!
So, it’s that time of year again. Does it seem sooner to any of you like it does me? That’s the fun of Easter. A different time each year. I have heard it’s because it’s tied to Passover, but it’s been ages since I’ve been to bible study so [...]

reminder of gratitude
Right when Life seems to be putzing along it sometimes goes sideways. Last month we received the tragic news that our Laura passed away suddenly. She was the beloved wife of my cousin, Ray Rowe, and wondermous mom to their two children, Alex, 22 and Rachel, 19. It was [...]

fall musings
Fall. My favorite time of the year. The mornings are finally ‘ok’ and for those of us who have lived here our whole lives, we can smell it and feel it. I am ashamed to say I still sound like a newcomer every July and August. I am pretty much the first person to start [...]

nathan and lindsey kline
For the second time in my life, I have the pleasure of saying, ‘My son’s wife.’ I was so excited when it was ‘My son’s fiance’ a few months ago but it doesn’t compare to being able to say ‘wife’ instead. It is a truly surreal event when your child is married. I found myself [...]

memories…

morning coffee with my favorite bobcat

Two mornings ago, I was walking (ok, running) through the front [...]

queen of procrastination tis i
Now, doesn’t that look like a room that is clean and organized? Yes, it is. Both clean AND organized. What you don’t know is that it has taken me 8 FREAKIN’ months to create that slice of heaven by actually cleaning and organizing. My ignoring it created the biggest storage shed in Kingdom Come and [...]

mom-in-law vs. monster-in-law
(my sweet nanabah, me me me and lovely lindsey) One of the joys of having all guys is that you get to welcome daughters-in-law into the family. My Adam and his sweet Nanabah have been married for 12 years (gasp!) and over those years I have enjoyed my evolving relationship with Nanabah. I cannot imagine [...]

danny’s fun adventure
Here he goes! This is my Danny on his first gliding flight. His wondermous staff gave it to him for Christmas this last year and yesterday was the first opportunity to make it happen. He was a little ambivalent beforehand, but ended up enjoying it quite a bit! I have to admit to being jealous. [...]
