Last Sunday, our family spent part

Last Sunday, our family spent part of the afternoon sitting in the comfy seats at Centennial Baptist Church. The occasion was June Wallace’s piano studio recital. At rehearsal the preceding Friday afternoon, my daughter made it through both songs – with a little stumbling. Afterwards she came runnin

Covering a multitude of sins. In the backyard.

My son graduates high school tomorrow. We are having a little party. That means getting the house ready. A house that has been neglected for a while. Not because we want to but because we are very busy…and I don’t want to spent all my time cleaning and grooming the yard. So today, I hit [...]

Exams. Preparing (or not preparing) for them.

Haven’t had much time for online socializing this week…but now that it’s almost Thursday my thoughts turn to MamaKat and her prompts. All this week’s writing prompts spoke to me. Easy peasy to write on all of them. For some odd reason I gravitated to Number 5.) What about school do you miss the leas

Pink that turns blue. Was the ultrasound wrong?

A few years ago I hosted Garden Club at the house. Our speaker brought lots of clippings. We had drawings for the plants. I ended up with a pink hydrangea. I was sooo happy. Having always wanted a hydrangea in our yard, this was my chance. Here is the yard across the street. I planted [...]

Child Labor Laws. Or Someone Left a Textbook Out in the Rain.

My 18-year-old son left his book bag in the bed of his father’s truck. Somehow, miracles of miracles, it rained. Heaven sent for my garden. Hellish for his $80 textbook. When daddy and I said he had to pay for this book, he devised a plan and he deviseth up it quick. Offer young sister [...]

Shopping for shoes. Or reason #3,409 that my daughter is mad at me.

We went to a really fun party tonight. I could be writing about how one should never scratch a nose during an auction because he will find himself the owner of a 2,000 pound Brahma bull. But I have no pictures. So I will stick to today’s blogging scenario number 2. How a fun mother/daughter [...]

Stage mother at the piano recital.

I am so not the stage mother. But honestly at this point, I think it would be better for my child if I was. * * * Today we went to the rehearsal at a local church for my daughter’s piano recital on Sunday. The Lord gifted my daughter with an ear for music. This [...]

Star-crossed Musicians: Where She Went. #BHBC

This is a paid review by the BlogHer Book Club Club but as with everything in this blog — these are my opinions people. I swear. Where She Went, BlogHer’s Book Club latest great read, is Gayle Forman’s past-paced sequel to her New York Times Bestseller If I Stay. Once again her story focuses on [...

Mrs. Dollar. Fourty Roses and 40 years.

Retirement. As a nine year old that seemed as foreign as eating octopus for dinner. I’m linking up with MamaKat and choosing prompt number 1.) Share a story from fourth grade. I was trying to remember fourth grade. I remembered where Mrs. Dollar’s classroom was in the framework of Audubon Park Ele
