Daddy’s Girl
This was the post I put together when I discovered my blog was infected. I posted it to my writer’s group blog but in case you didn’t get to read it and with Dad’s 80th birthday coming up, I thought I’d share it here.
Yesterday I bundled up without regard for fashion or vanity to spend [...]
Coffee Pot in a Box
One of the interesting things about having a hobby such as collecting old coffee pots is that people tend to think of you whenever they spot something that they think might belong in your collection. It’s sort of a warm fuzzy in many ways. A few years ago, my mother spotted this coffee maker at [...]
For Halloween I Build Me a Church
I’m not one for the macabre or ghoulishness, never have been. My kids have always had hand-made costumes: horse, cow, southern belle, cell phone, giant baseball glove. I always have candy for trick or treaters. About a decade ago, I was moved to fill my yard with paper bag luminarias on Halloween night. I’ve done [...]
I couldn’t help myself …
I didn’t want to do a new post so soon because I like to leave a few days space because I’m afraid that if I post too many too fast hardly any will get read and I really do hope that you all read the previous post of Sedona Series – Part II, but [...]
Sedona Series – Part II
Landing in Phoenix was one thing, we still had a couple of hours of “gettin to Sedona to do.” You will remember, if you read the first piece in this series, that back in Milwaukee, we had chided my brother Joe, for putting a kink in the general plans for streamlined travel by electing to [...]

I have not even had the wherewithal to check in and read my favorite blogs from time to time and comment, which I feel terrible about because so many people are so great about leaving comments and kind encouragement [...]
Why Can’t We All Just Get A Thong?
Because it’s not a good idea and I’ll tell you why. Some of you have read my previous musings on this subject. I’m asking you to stay with me while I fill in the newcomers and then I will broaden the scope, so to speak.
Several years ago, my daughters convinced me to try wearing a [...]
Mango Tango
My friend Derba was in my kitchen the other day. Her name is actually Debra, but I found it humorous one day to switch the r and the b around to make it Derba. Fortunately for me, she actually thinks that I’m funny when I do this sort of thing which is one of the [...]
The Ironing Board is in Her Room
It feels different this year, even though it is not all that different than other years. Katie graduated from UW Madison on May 16th. Shannon graduated from North Central College on June 13th. We had an open house gathering of family and friends Jun14th and later that evening, Shannon, with her little red Honda [...]
