wishart17 Uncategorized ,

It's all over Facebook today...pictures of siblings thanking siblings; posts singing the praises of the sibling relationships.  I have seven, count 'em - seven, sibs: three brothers and four sisters.  In terms of birth order I'm in the  middle.  I used to think that the middle was not such a great place to be; I was … Continue reading April 10th: Sibling Day

That Drives Me Crazy

wishart17 Uncategorized , , , , , , , , ,

What habit/act drives you crazy? How do you prevent it from happening? Less of a habit, and hopefully, more a misunderstanding of the English language, it makes me crazy when people use words incorrectly or use the incorrect word. I'm not talking about people whose second language is English; it's presumably well-read and smart people … Continue reading That Drives Me Crazy

  What’s your travel style? Are you itinerary and schedule driven, needing to have every step mapped out in advance or are you content to arrive without a plan and let happenstance be your guide? I'm a confirmed homebody.  I've never been bitten by the travel bug the way others have, and one of my … Continue reading Happy Wanderer (or not)

Most cats enjoy finding out-of-the-way places to tuck in and nap, especially in the sunshine!  Our cat Bubba is no exception.  One Saturday afternoon I found him in the magazine basket he'd knocked over in the bathroom--a favorite place for him especially on warm days.  Enjoy!

Tell us the origin story of your best friend. How did you become friends? What is it that keeps your friendship rockin’ after all these years?

I know some of you who read my blog may think this is the easy way out for today’s blog post, but I’ve written about my childhood best friend before.  We are still friends and it’s a relationship I treasure!  So, please enjoy again the post I shared back in October of 2013 in celebration of Lynne’s birthday!

I have a great friend. It’s not many people in the world you can say have known you longer than some of your family members, but I’ve known her since I was five years old, which is longer than my younger brother and sister have been alive.

Tonight my husband and I went over to Lynne’s parents’ house to help celebrate her 50th birthday. Of course…

Always Something to Remind Me

wishart17 Uncategorized , , , , , , , ,

Today's writing idea:  A song comes on the radio and instantly, you’re transported to a different time and place. Which song(s) bring back memories for you and why? Be sure to mention the song, and describe the memory it evokes. The radio in my car crapped out earlier this winter.  My husband got me a … Continue reading Always Something to Remind Me

Just a few seconds after I took this the teacher assistant, Mr. Jose, came to her rescue and made sure she was feeling safe and comfortable in her new classroom.  Within several minutes she was in the housekeeping play area making new friends.

Today’s thank you is for all the people who, on the first day of a new experience, saw that I might be feeling left out or unsure, and extended…
