I feel like I have boiled down everyone I know down to a one-word description. I am tired, and things are grating on me right now, so I do not want to be wordy. Example - I had some foster kittens recently, and one of them was adorable, but out of control, I just call… Continue reading One Word

Food! And Holidays
Growing up I had an Italian-American Grandfather, and two Polish-American Grandparents on my dad's side. Holiday's were about church and FOOD. Christmas may have belonged to my Italian Grandfather, but Easter, that belonged to my Polish Grandmother. Kielbasa, Pierogis, Ham, Golabki, and on and on until you are really full. Oh, and then candy, you cannot… Continue reading Food! And Holidays
Lady General
Today is the fourth anniversary of my mothers passing. I miss her every day. When going through some old files a few days ago, I came across this letter that I wrote for my mom for her retirement dinner, many years ago. It is not sophisticated, but it does share just a little of how… Continue reading Lady General
The Inevitable Thankful post
First, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This is my favorite holiday because I get to be with my family with only the expectation to eat, and laugh, and love. We have so much fun! I will miss my extended family this year, but with just my immediate family alone a good comedy writer could come up with… Continue reading The Inevitable Thankful post

One More Day with Charlie
Hi everyone! I have not posted recently, been pretty busy training for my next half in September. I have not posted mostly because my running has not motivated me to post. Not that I am not running, that is happening for sure; had one of my best runs ever last weekend. It is just that… Continue reading One More Day with Charlie
Carry On
Well, it has been a little over a month since my last post and it has been a month which carried a lot of sadness. On April 12, 2013 the world lost a strong and loving woman, on this date my mother passed away after a period of extended illness; my world will never be… Continue reading Carry On
Be a Crafty Runner
So this weekend I ran my first race since the Half in Disney, and it was my birthday, and I got Bon Jovi tickets, and yesterday (Monday) was National Napping Day (which I celebrated in style). What more could you ask for in a weekend? At my age not much, it was a full and… Continue reading Be a Crafty Runner
