Signs of Summertime
Summertime is basically upon us. My boys are finished with school, having high enough grades and low enough absences to be exempt from finals. My daughter is on the countdown with half days to finish out the middle school year (exemptions are only for high school credit classes). We are starting to make our summer [...]
A Mother’s Love
The sun shone brightly On our stroll along the well loved shore We laughed even though there were tears in our hearts My return home, to celebrate her- a life well lived Our rock and wisdom called to her eternal home Days spent recounting memories The dolphin's hello And the ashes flowing A welcoming embrace. [...]

Rusty Doors: A Little Nostalgia
Admiration: a feeling of wonder, pleasure, or approval. If you've read about how my dad converted a school bus into a home, then you might have guessed that he is a car guy. If not, here's me letting you know that he's a car guy. And cars have always been a big part of our [...]

Thursday Doors: Downtown
This is my first submission into Norm 2.0's Thursday Doors. I was intrigued by this concept. This is a door down an alleyway in Downtown Roanoke, Virginia. It caught my eye because most of the doors are plain and nondescript on this particular alleyway. It is a side entry door to the Agnew seed shop [...]
A Little Brother
Since my baby brother's birthday is rapidly approaching, this week's throwback will be about the beginnings of siblinghood. My brother is four and 1/2 years younger (to the day) than me. While I have faint memories here and there prior to his birth, for the most part I have no memory of life without him. [...]
Have cows…will travel
Yes... you see correctly. No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. There is indeed a cow in the backseat of the car. When I was around 5 1/2 or 6, my dad decided that since we lived in the country, we should try having some cows. This "experiment" lasted around a year. We had 7 cows. [...]
