It's a few days after Halloween and I am still licking my wounds.  We had NO trick or treaters again this year.  I've heard tales of people that had 400 youngins come to their door....not me/us.  Are their children living next door to me or even two doors down?  No but so what?  That doesn't mean I don't ...

If you know me...or if you have read anything I have written you know I am a Wife, Mom and Grandmother. When my son and his wife (pre granddaughter) purchased their first home I was overjoyed for them.  Just a few months ago my daughter and her husband and baby son purchased their first home and again I was over joyed.  ...

My daughter and her family have purchased their first house...Ann Arbor, Michigan has claimed them.  With a Buckeye as a Dad my daughter is conflicted but we hope the Michigan fight song won't be played in her house.

My new grandson lives in Binghamton, NY.  Now I have nothing against Binghamton or even New York.  After all I was born in New York but I would love him to live closer.  Even if he lived in Maryland the airport would be easier to get to.  I had to change plans twice to get up there when he was born.  How nuts is ...

I am the oldest of four children.  As I grew up and became an obnoxious teenager and exchanged words with my Mom….I hate you….and ran away from home I always thought she loved my next youngest brother best.  When I verbalized this as an adult my Mom said, “You love the one the best that needs you at the ...

As school starts in Mount Pleasant, SC what am I thinking about?  It seems like yesterday that I was sending my three off on their new adventures.  That's what we called anything that could be fun and or scary....and a new year at school could be.  From the first trip on the "big cheese" (the school bus) to the first ...
