The Hall of Justice
Today JJ and I went to The Hall of Justice. Although we did not see Superman, Wonder Woman, or Batman, we did see plenty of heroes and villains. Seriously. This is completely 100% true. The Hall of Justice is the name of the district… Continue Reading “The Hall of Justice”
The Mattress: Conclusion
So, as I already wrote the other day, our mattress was scheduled to arrive between 9:45 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. on Thursday. JJ and I waited near the entrance of our driveway for several hours so we could transport the mattress the rest of… Continue Reading “The Mattress: Conclusion”
The Mattress
So today was the BIG day that our new mattress was scheduled to arrive!!! Yay! EJ has been sleeping on JJ’s old twin mattress while I slept on the couch. The couch is very comfy for sitting on, but not as comfortable as the… Continue Reading “The Mattress”
The Enchanted Library
I really enjoy the beauty of early mornings but the sun rises so early that if I didn’t have to get up to let the chickens and ducks outside, I would sleep right through the dawn. Instead, I get up early to let the… Continue Reading “The Enchanted Library”
Surviving October
October is usually my most favorite month. I love the vibrant colors of the trees and the pumpkins and other squashes. I love the wind making the leaves twirl and dance. I love the look of harvested fields. I love the sunshine highlighting the… Continue Reading “Surviving October”
Phantom Orchestra
I’ve had a strange, unique, and interesting experience for several years. I didn’t tell anyone–not even EJ–until a month or so ago because it just sounded too weird. After I told EJ, he couldn’t figure out why it was happening any more than I… Continue Reading “Phantom Orchestra”
Cops & Donuts
We have been driving downstate every weekend to finish emptying the old house before we sell it. On the days we drive down, we usually get up at 5 a.m. drive for hours, work really hard at the old house, and then drive hours… Continue Reading “Cops & Donuts”
Chicken Run
It feels like I haven’t written in forever. Mostly it’s because I began to have problems with my laptop overheating a couple of weeks ago. After only a couple of minutes, I could feel the heat building up and almost burning my fingers. I… Continue Reading “Chicken Run”
Summoned
Our grass was getting long so yesterday I decided to mow it. However, I couldn’t get the lawn mower started. We actually have TWO lawn mowers, and I couldn’t get either of them started. I kind of enjoy mowing the lawn, but I have… Continue Reading “Summoned”
More Than I Imagine
Life seems to be one nail-biting cliffhanger after another. This is another chapter to our continuing saga. Those of you who have been reading our family’s story we recall that last Winter I looked at EJ and saw that his company was destroying his… Continue Reading “More Than I Imagine”
Redi-Care
My foot has been hurting more and more–along with a tingling numbness that I’ve felt ever since I fell over the stupid exercise thingy. I was getting concerned that I might have broken my foot. At first I thought that I’d just wait until… Continue Reading “Redi-Care”
Here There Be Spiders
This morning after I drank coffee and ate breakfast, I went upstairs and mudded the drywall for a bit. I really don’t mind this task. It’s sort of fun. When I came downstairs, Danny asked to be let outside. I headed for the back… Continue Reading “Here There Be Spiders”
Dreams & Nightmares
This week has been a terrible, awful, no good week. For as long as I can remember, we have suffered difficulty after difficulty after difficulty. When one difficult ends another begins. I don’t mean this to be a “poor me” lament. Everyone has problems… Continue Reading “Dreams & Nightmares”
Goodbye 2014
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I cannot believe that 2014 is coming to an end already. It’s seems like yesterday that we were entering the NEW MILLENNIUM…and now here it is 15 years later. I feel as if I’ve been sucked into a time vortex or… Continue Reading “Goodbye 2014”
December Mix
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! I haven’t written much in December because it’s been a busy month filled with a mixture of difficulties and tremendous blessings. JJ began Chemo last year in December. As the anniversary of his Chemotherapy approached, he… Continue Reading “December Mix”
