I have been editing and revising the first book I self-published in 1997 called Butterflies, Biscuits and Rain. When I am done, I will publish it at LuLu where I have my second book, Amazing Hope (a 40-day devotional).
(available at the link on the right) Right now my eyes are glazing over from reading [...]
Our beautiful cat, Sugar! She is such an awesome cat. She is around 6 years old. She loves to cuddle and her favorite thing is to be brushed (besides eating).
Okay, I will confess. I am struggling with this aging thing. I didn’t know how much being “youthful” meant to me I guess. I am amazed how often (when I picture myself or think of how I appear to others) I have a negative feeling and view of myself. It is really sad how [...]
The weather was great last night! Praise God! We got to see our son march at his first football game. It was so much fun to see him march. Here are some pictures:

I got a call at 6:30 this morning to sub in kindergarten. So I am off to work this morning. If you read my earlier post (lessons learned late), I am ready to work on being more assertive and to focus on clear communication! We had thunderstorms all night, pouring rain, and what lightening! [...]

Our Gordman’s store is moving to the new mall so they are having 75% off of their clearance items. I got $110 worth (at Gordman’s reg. prices) for $18!! That includes two birthday gifts, 4 clothing items for me and socks. It is because of shopping trips like this that I never pay full [...]
Hey, I admit I am not the best cook in the world. But I didn’t realize how terrible I was until I found myself with a teenager. Last night I once again had the wonderful experience of seeing my son gag over something I made. It is so frustrating! I would love to be one of [...]
