I am one of those weirdos that start shopping for Christmas in June! So let’s talk Christmas! All this week I keep reading about the Christmas supply chain and how COVID has made it slow down to a trickle. One news caster said it is like taking a 10 lane highway and dropping down to 5. Lack of people …
Got a wall…
The pressure is real. To make fun summer memories without breaking the bank. This weekend we had planned on a fun outing of a drive-in movie…yes they still have those where I live. Husband and I made plans to surprise Little Girl. Even the best-laid plans…! They had changed up the movies for Friday so the movie we were going …
Easter came and went…
Easter came and went… Is Covid over yet? It seems life has paused. Just yesterday it was Valentine’s Day and now here we are at Easter! EASTER! Easter came with very little fanfare. No fields packed with eggs to find. No Son-rise Church service. Be wary of visiting family that is not in your direct social group we were warned. …
#Savethesnowday…
#Savethesnowday Remote learning. Covid. Zoom. We are all so over these words. The constant drone on television of numbers, mutant strains, front line workers being pushed to the brink! Just when you think it can’t get any worse here comes the announcement “thanks to remote learning we no longer need to have snow days.” WHAT! We have already robbed children …
The Corona Classroom…
The Corona Classroom… As a teacher I will be so happy when words like social distancing, learning pods, face masks and, fever watching are no longer a part of my everyday worry.

Act of God…
Act of God There have been 2 times in my life I have seen an act of God. Two times when there is no other explanation except God intervening and rippling the effect. Two times that have been imprinted on me and I will never forget. The first one was in the early ’90s. I was driving in my old …
White Mountain Scavenger Hunt…
White Mountain Scavenger Hunt Living in New Hampshire I have access to the mountains, the lakes region, and the beach! What do you do in the fall in New Hampshire? You go to the mountains and enjoy creation! This is fun for my husband and me but I wanted something for Little Girl as well. Something to include her! I …
Don’t lose what ‘Rona gave us…
Don’t loose what ‘Rona gave us… Here we are the 3rd week in September and life is cranking up. Schedules are getting packed with dentist appointments, soccer games, and playdates. Finding time to walk the dog is getting harder. Days are getting shorter. The kitchen table is filled with the family planner, a computer, and a slew of paperwork from …
She’s off…
She’s off… Well…it finally happened. There was the knock at the door. On the other side of the door were 2 dirty, sweaty, happy faces asking if Little Girl could come and play. One was Little Girl’s cousin who moved into our old house and our old neighbor who lives next to the cousin. They rode their bikes around the …
889 Days…
889 Days It is hard to believe it was only 3 years ago when my husband and I went to court. We stood before a judge that would decide your fate. It was on this day 3 years ago we found out we would be able to keep you forever. You were cleared for adoption. It would take a few …
