About a year ago, I received this text from G before 6 AM: “They let me go.” I remember the time because I had just gotten up and was in the kitchen about to eat breakfast. “They” was the Arkansas State Capitol Police, and for me it was a relief. For my husband, at theContinue reading “They Let Me Go”

Inside Out
This pic was from G’s 40th birthday 12 years ago in Vegas. This dress is still hanging up in my closet. I can still wear it but it fits a bit differently because there’s a bit more of me to love nowadays. While I have given away several items over the years, I’m still hangingContinue reading “Inside Out”
Mom’s Silver Anniversary
Twenty five years ago, my mother passed away. In anticipation of this, I typed up a long blog entry that described her last day, but it made me sad, and that’s not what I want to see pop up as a memory in the future. I would much rather remember the happy times. At thatContinue reading “Mom’s Silver Anniversary”
“I Can’t Make You Love Me”
If you lost your cell phone and had no way of retrieving all of your contacts, how would you go about rebuilding your database? It’s unlikely that would ever happen since all of our data lives in the “cloud,” but it got me to thinking. Who can I call in an emergency? Who wants toContinue reading ““I Can’t Make You Love Me””
Step By Step
I don’t care much for heights. I’ve climbed Pinnacle Mountain a few times and I’ve never enjoyed it. I love to see my friends take pictures with their loved ones after they have climbed to the top, but I’ve always been too nervous. A few months ago I had the opportunity to fly in aContinue reading “Step By Step”

As much as I am interested in your pics, I’m probably only going to look at 12 of the many pics you post. Try as I might, after the 13th orContinue reading “Randomness on a Sunday Morning”
Happy Father’s Day, Dad
It’s Father’s Day and that day doesn’t conjure up many fond memories for me. My dad passed away in 2015 due to kidney failure, but ultimately from dementia. Dad was an old school man. He believed in working hard. There was no doubt that he loved his family. Somehow he didn’t know how to sayContinue reading “Happy Father’s Day, Dad”
Thoughts on Graduation
Disclaimer: I don’t have kids, and my opinion on this topic might likely upset you. It is your prerogative to continue to read. This is my opinion. Now that prom season is over, I’ve come to some realizations. For one, things are a LOT different than in my day in terms of what is consideredContinue reading “Thoughts on Graduation”
Happy Mother’s Day…if it applies
You might know that I am also known as Dottie and DiDi’s Mommy, who are my two adorable miniature schnauzers who sometimes get dragged into my shenanigans. They are my babies. Over the years I’ve been told that I should have had children for a variety of reasons, and while I know that they haveContinue reading “Happy Mother’s Day…if it applies”
