Sarah Palin

Awesome pick McCain!!! I was so excited yesterday waiting to hear who McCain’s pick would be…when I heard it was Sarah Palin I was thrilled. Here is a woman who is a republican, wife, and mom. She is gutsy and is not afraid to say what she thinks. She was “an average woman” when she [...]

Llama, what?

We have a farm across the road from our property in Ohio. The farm has llamas. I being the silly ex-school teacher that I am was reminded of a book in my school’s library. It was a child’s book about llamas. So, I get the idea to make a game out of naming our friendly [...]

Little Bunnie Foo Foo

Awww……. When Scott and I were out at the house site yesterday we were walking around looking at what had been done. We walked back towards our van when Scott looked down and saw some teeny tiny little wriggling things in the grass. He told me to come look. I thought he was going to [...]

Farmers Almanac

I just got the new Farmers Almanac tonight. I wanted to see what the weather would be like after we move into our new house. According to the FA the weather in Ohio is supposed to be frigid and snowy this winter. This was met with cheers after I made this prophetic announcement to the [...]

No Dingos, Just Coyotes

Do you remember years ago the story about the woman in Australia that said, ” a dingo stole my baby!” I don’t know that the truth ever came out about that….but for a long while the media talked about dingos (wild dogs in Australia). Hmmm…..with that in mind………
Well, yesterday I read an article in our [...]

Deadly Day At Central

I woke up this morning and checked the local online newspaper as I always do. I was saddened to see that one of my city’s local high schools had a deadly shooting this morning shortly after school started.
Two young men in the school cafeteria commons got into a fight. One boy pulled a gun and [...]

Let The Games Begin

No, I’m not talking about the Olympics. I’ve got more important fish to fry. I’m talking about the beginning of soccer season. The coach called me last night. Kendrick and Breanna are to report “to duty” on Saturday evening at 6 pm. That will be their first practice of the season. It doesn’t matter that [...]

In Remembrance

My husband, Scott, and I were both widowed in our thirties. He at 39 and I at 32 years of age. It’s a club that no one really wants to be a member of…not that one has a choice. Life happens….and so does death….and death comes when it feels like it. It doesn’t matter whether [...]

Russia

I watched a news documentary this past weekend on Russia. The documentary said what I’ve been thinking for quite awhile. Putin is old school KGB and wants Russia to be a certain way….and will make sure it is HIS way. Sure, Putin is not the NAME in charge anymore, but everyone knows he is the [...]

Showdown At Saddleback

I didn’t get to see the whole question/answer session last night at Saddleback Church. I was out, or I would have watched the whole thing. I did catch some of the replay and the commentary afterwards.
I agree with Charles Krauthammer that this was one of the best –honest answers to real questions–in a controlled atmosphere. [...]
