My son and his wife adopted a dog last weekend. They are very excited about it! Cute little three month old black puppy, retriever mix. We face-timed Sunday night for a little bit and the dog didn’t bark at all. So far, it seems the dog is very good with the baby, just likes to [...]

January 26, 2012As I write this, it’s Wednesday evening, and I’ve been sitting with my fingers poised over my laptop, talking to my husband and watching a recording of today’s Ellen Show. Until a few moments ago, I was stuck on what to write for this week’s TYT post. It has been a very trying few weeks. I’ve been [...]

January 10, 2012Have you tried Pinterest yet? Essentially, it’s an electronic bulletin board on which you can “pin” things you find online that “interest” you. You could set up a board to collect ideas for your wedding, how to decorate your new house, vacation destinations or fashion ideas. You can also peruse boards that other people have created and re-pin their [...]

January 5, 2012I have written several times about my Mom. She is in the latter stages of Alzheimer’s disease. I only get to visit her about twice a year, because she is in a nursing home in another state. My brother lives nearby and visits Mom more frequently. This past weekend, thanks to a great last minute airfare deal, [...]
Don’t forget to look back!

December 29, 2011This is the 52nd week of the year. The 52nd Thursday. My 52nd ‘Thank you Thursday” post of 2011. I’ve shared a lot of gratitude over all these weeks. Yet, I feel like I’ve barely been thankful enough. I have the great gifts of an amazing family and a small, but mighty, circle of friends. I have a [...]

December 25, 2011For unto us a child is born, unto us a Savior is given. I took this photo last night after midnight mass at St. Mary Church, Columbus, Ohio. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Thank you Thursday
December 22, 2011In the span of a few days, some of us are already commemorating Channukah, some will soon be celebrating Christmas, others will then be marking Kwanzaa. A fair number of people don’t celebrate religious holidays or cultural occasions at all, but instead choose to mark this season simply with joyful giving from the heart. As [...]

December 15, 2011It’s an amazing experience to watch your child grow up. First, there is the natural curiosity and innocence of the very young. Then, boundaries are stretched as independence is tested. And, at some point, before you know it, your little one has grown up. As parents, we have to shift from being involved in nearly [...]
Thank you Thursday
December 8, 2011This Sunday is a very special day for me. It’s my birthday. But, what makes the day even more special is that it is also my son’s birthday. In the spirit of Thanks-living, today and every day, I am thankful for the wonderful birthday gift I was given 29 years ago; a son. When he was a young child, [...]
