Guess what, friends? It’s Random Thought Thursday! (What? That is totally a thing. Because it’s my blog and I’m making it a thing. Today. It’s called Artistic License, people. Take some for yourself. Really. Go ahead. I don’t mind. What? It’s Saturday? Well, I’m calling it Thursday. Artistic License, I tell you. Stop being so… Continue Reading

I Highly Recommend Oars
Over the Fourth of July weekend, my family and I hopped in our boat and headed up to a nearby marina for dinner on the lake. It was nice. UNTIL we started home. Our engine sputtered and coughed like it was dying a painful death, and then…it died. So, there we were floating in the… Continue Reading
Hooray for Summer!
10 Reasons I Am Loving Summer: Kentucky mornings… The canopy of leaves on my favorite stretch of road… The occasional rainy late afternoon nap… Kentucky evenings… Local farmers’ market… Fairs and festivals… Just this morning, my daughter hopped on her bike and joined a parade!

Super-Dad to the Rescue
I got everything I ever wanted for my sixth birthday. I got a silk-like, sky-blue nightgown with ruffles. I got to go to the county fair. I got to eat cotton candy.

Sentimental vs. Stylish
I’m cleaning up my website, which is a lot like cleaning up my room (translation: not that much fun) and I’ve realized that this little story, as much as I love it, can’t continue to have its own page on my new website. Well…it can, but I won’t end up with the pretty, well-organized room… Continue Reading
Happy Anniversary
I couldn’t find a card I liked — I never can when I really need to! SOOOoooo, here I am, in the hope that this will do: Happy anniversary, with love and gratitude, to my husband who has — miraculously! — managed to put up with me for the past 15+ years, most of which… Continue Reading
