Almost Wordless Wednesday

I recently found several months worth of photographs on my Mother in Law’s camera.  This is one from the 4th of July.  I so want to freeze time and keep her this sweet, wondrous creature forever.

Friendship and the internet, what it all really means….yeah, here I go again.

This is the post where I call out my own hypocrisy and tell you why I went back to Twitter.  Plus a small dissertation on friendship.

I was reading comments on a friend’s blog recently and the subject of Twitter was being discussed.  Some folks were talking about paring down their follower list to make it more manageable, since it is physically impossible to keep up with the daily ramblings of 900+ people.   I started thinking, what if I restored my account, and whittled away at my list so that I was only following/being followed by the few people I… Continue reading

Twenty Years On, Part 3

I remember it was gray.  It was January, after all.  I don’t remember if it was cold.  I remember the minister speaking in generalities about my dad.  He didn’t really know my dad all that well, seeing as how my dad was not a churchgoer.  He simply hadn’t been able.
