Corn maze, the stuff of nightmares…

October 7, 2018October 12, 2018 / beachchairtracy/ 12 Comments

I was at Beech Hill Farm in Contoocook (Con-took-cook) NH with Little Girl and my niece.  We decided to try our hand at the corn maze.  Not sure what a corn maze is?  Below is a picture of one from Beech Hill. It is a path or maze that winds you through a cornfield.  The corn stalks are over your …

Could you answer this…

October 1, 2018January 11, 2019 / beachchairtracy/ 9 Comments

Could you answer this? Would you rather… My family and I were having dinner at a local eatery.  We tend to play quiet table games while waiting for our dinner.  Games like I Spy and Would You Rather.  We were mid-round of Would You Rather when Little Girl posed a question to me that I could not answer.  It came out …

More Porches…Less Fences

August 11, 2018February 10, 2020 / beachchairtracy/ 26 Comments

I was driving Little Girl home from a playdate and took the chance to look around. So many houses had fences. Nice houses. Nice cars. Nice fences. No porch. Or a very small porch. I had the privilege to grow up in the house my grandparents built. After they passed my mom continued to live there. I lived there as …

Jet Skiing!

August 2, 2018February 5, 2021 / beachchairtracy/ 20 Comments

In true crazy format, my sister calls this morning and says “Hey, want to go rent some jet skis and run around the lake?” To which I respond “duh.” I love riding jet skis and I’ve been trying to persuade my family to buy some so we can have fun on the water.  But, unfortunately, we don’t have one yet …

Evolution of the ride…

May 30, 2018October 14, 2021 / beachchairtracy/ 14 Comments

Picture it…1988 and I was given my first car. My mom “bought” it for $1 from her boss at work. It was a 1980 Honda Civic. Brown. Two doors. Bad radio. Crank windows. Two speakers in the front. To me it was FREEDOM! But this didn’t phase me. This meant no more walking or riding the school bus. This brown …

After every storm

April 24, 2018May 26, 2020 / beachchairtracy/ 18 Comments

Remember after most storms in life you are given a rainbow. My life was not so much a storm as a long rain shower. I decided early on I would rather be alone for the right reasons than with someone for the wrong ones. That left me with many solo years. I met my husband when I was 42 and …

Things not to say…

April 13, 2018May 16, 2020 / beachchairtracy/ 26 Comments

Ok, the title should really be “Things not to Say to an Adoptive Mom.” After a 3 1/2 year journey my husband and I were able to adopt our little girl out of the foster care system. These are some actual questions I have fielded. 1. You are so lucky you did not have to go through labor. Ok, let …

Solo child…

April 4, 2018April 11, 2018 / beachchairtracy/ 6 Comments

I overheard a conversation with Little Girl and her friend. Her friend told her she was an only child.  Little Girl was adamant that she was not.   They went back and forth and then I set the record straight.  She is not an only child.  She has biological siblings.  We adopted Little Girl a few weeks ago and she has lived with …

January 30, 2018June 13, 2019 / beachchairtracy/ 23 Comments

I met you on a Saturday Sweet Little Girl…in less than 3 weeks time we will be standing before the judge and Mommy and Daddy will FINALLY stand with you and become a legal forever family. It will be our GOTCHA DAY!  As I look back to when we first met. I met you on a Saturday.   The Guardian brought …
