I went in for a can of milk and ended up roaming the aisles at Target. I was ambushed by Hearth&Home by Magnolia, endless swim suits on display, kitchen gadgets, art supplies and so on. As I longingly looked at something to purchase, Big Momma (my mind) decided to wake up from her slumber and … Continue reading Big Momma

Red painted toe nails
Eons ago kiddo was learning how to swim underwater. Hubby and I would get into the 3 feet deep pool with her and he would stand at one end and me at the other.

Because, my Cherry is a barker. She barks at every dog. We went on our usual route … Continue reading Never, ever, never!

About the Bald Eagle
We were watching The ShawShank Redemption recently and hubby was in tears. He is like that. All it takes is a song, a speech or something beautiful to move him to tears. Kiddo and I have a code word for it "Waterworks". On the other hand I am stoic. I have been asking myself this … Continue reading About the Bald Eagle
Gloomy to Happy
This morning I woke up with no energy and severely depressed. As I was sipping coffee, I asked hubby what was the purpose to my life. What have I been sent to accomplish?
