Our New Kind of Normal

I may have already mentioned this, but one of my brothers recently told me about something he heard on a podcast. The speaker said that parents rank their children in the order in which they like them and this brother and I were trying to guess our ranking. With our dad, we’re all the same.

I know there are parts of the country that have already had snow – and I’m insanely jealous!! – but we had our first frosty mornings this weekend and I was so happy. I don’t like being hot and I always figure I can put on more clothes if I’m cold. We’re getting into my favorite time of year! Continue reading “Frosty Mornings”

November 1^st. Wow! Where has 2019 gone?!? I know it’s just the fact that I’m getting older, but these years seem to fly by faster and faster! Continue reading “Fall Back!”

Yesterday’s retirement party for M went SO WELL! Truly, I couldn’t have asked for it to have turned out any better. There was a good crowd in attendance – so many of the people he’s worked with over the years. Continue reading “Happy Halloween!”
