I rarely go to Craigslist, but yesterday an ad caught my eye. “Free Toys Wanted.” The latent Santa in me was aroused, and I answered back that I had a few things I could donate. My son is grown up, so I was sure he would not miss a few random stuffed animals and board … More My Christmas Lesson
HI, Bailey here. By popular request I am filling in for Mom again today. Mom is very busy, trying to find scotch tape, and writing out cards. Then she has to close up the envelopes with a wet paper towel, because she refuses to “lick” the envelopes. I personally don’t have any problem licking anything. … More Bailey’s Excellent photo shoot, revisited
After several layers of mousse and blow-drying, I sprayed my head with hairspray until I was certain my hair was cemented in place. I tucked my toes into my dressy boots, whispering, “Please, God, I really need this job.” I looked out my bedroom window, and muttered a hallelujah as the snow was still falling. It … More Dateline: April, 1980-something
With a heavy heart, I’ve been watching the “blowback” from the ruling against the Cop who killed Michael Brown. I wasn’t in the courtroom, I wasn’t privy to the details that exonerated the cop. But I have seen a zillion videos. So here’s my 2 cents. First off, the video of Michael Brown STEALING cigars … More Both sides are wrong on Ferguson
We wanted to get away from it all, so we picked an “Off Peak” time to go to Lake Placid. Little did we know that this would correspond to the timing of the Great Arctic Blast of 2014. We selected our room online, as we usually do. A King Bedroom for $129. Not too shabby! … More The Arctic Blast, Katniss, and the German Yum-Yum Guy
The Bible teaches the message of salvation: 1. Repent – of our sin and sincerely pray to God, seeking His forgiveness. 2. Believe- Believe in God the Father, and believe in the Lord Jesus who paid the price for our sins, which we can never pay for ourselves. 3. Do good works – As led … More The Bible teaches the message of salvation
Last Tuesday, I was sitting here on the computer when suddenly the center of my chest hurt like the proverbial elepant sitting on it, and my stomach hurt with knife-like stabs. I sat back in the chair to calm down and slow my breathing. A hot flash enveloped me, and my head began spinning. The … More My blood pressure dropped to 83/35 and I yelled, “Get Help!”

I recently finished reading an e-book novel called My Outcast Heart by Anna C. Bowling. I don’t normally read romance novels (mostly because they are all sex and very little romance) but this one held my attention. The story takes place in colonial New York in the 1720’s. It is…
Is that too much to ask? It was Saturday, and I just wanted to sleep in. Maybe even sleep until 9 am. I had a busy week. Four out of five days last week I had doctor appointments. Cancer Surgeon, Radiology Doctor, Plastic Surgeon, and Oncologist. All the visits went well, but it was still … More All I wanted was to sleep past 7:53 am
As you know, I am recovering from mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery. I’ve had bumps in the road, successes, a step forward and two steps back. But yesterday, well yesterday–I haven’t invented a category for it it. Hey, are you still reading? Good. I’m glad you stopped by to visit me. I retained a lot … More A personal note for my readers only
{As is policy, the names have been changed, but the story is real. Well, at least to the best of my recollection.} Timeline: 1980-something. Maddy and I were in her car on the way to church one Sunday. “I can’t believe what my boss, Avery did,” Maddy said. “We were in a meeting and he … More Goodbye, Uncle Dan
Right on him. I was walking the path around the back yard and I saw the snake slithering by. I had my foot in mid-air and was on the downswing and unable to stop or move away. So I stepped right on him! I felt him squish under my shoe a little, and I quickly … More I stepped on a snake today.
It’s been just over a month since I had my mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery. I am able to get up out of bed more easily. I can make myself small meals like fried eggs and toast. I am still not supposed to do heavy lifting (Like getting the huge spaghetti sauce pot from the … More Out and About, and finding my brain.

Roughly two weeks ago, I had major surgery: a mastectomy of my right breast and breast reconstruction. The surgery took 12 hours. Joan, on the other hand, experienced a “routine” procedure in a clinic, and died. My procedure consisted of removal of my breast (due to cancer) and reconstruction, which involved microsurgery. The surgeon extracted … More I underwent surgery the same week as Joan Rivers, but I woke up.

The world’s eyes have turned to the Robin Williams story. He is a man that we all loved, and we really had no idea that he was in so much pain. We mourn him. While there is now much debate on what could have/should have/would have been done, I thought it might be a good … More My own personal crawl through depression vs. a broken leg.
I still have a flip phone. I can’t get Facebook or “apps” on my phone. It only talks and texts. I can so relate to Leroy Jethro Gibbs on NCIS. If the old way works, why change it. Could my grandfather be correct? My husband, aka Mr. Porter, shared this commercial with me, and I … More Paper? Yes, please. Some things need to stay old school.
