I've always looked forward to Mother's Day. It's a time we celebrate my Mom, what's better than that? She's raised eight children, mother-in-law to eight, grand-mothered another 20+, and is a great-grandmother, too. Each of us have a different and special relationship with her, so celebrating her on Mother's Day is a no-brainer! Having always … Continue reading Mothers Day Blues
I Used Too Many Words Today
...leaving me with few to use for a complete blog post. Here is my thanks for today:
Pick Me Up: Teachers Rock!
Two birds with one stone again today...I like it when this happens! It's National Teacher Appreciation Day, and the prompt for today is: What is the one word or phrase that immediately cheers you up when you hear it? The absolute first thing that popped into my head is: Teachers Rock! Totally, they do! Being a … Continue reading Pick Me Up: Teachers Rock!
Cinco de Mayo = My Cancerversary
Three years ago today, my thyroid--cancerous nodules and all, was removed. During the "whole body scan" a few months later there were no errant tumor cells and the tumor marker in my blood work came back negative. Throughout the last 266 days of blogging, I've thanked many of the people who had some role in my diagnosis, … Continue reading Cinco de Mayo = My Cancerversary
Saved by The Bell — Or Braces
Tell us about a time when you managed to extract yourself from a sticky situation at the very last minute. Swearing was not something we did in our house growing up. I didn't even know the "F" word existed until I was in my teens, but once I learned it, it quickly became one of … Continue reading Saved by The Bell — Or Braces
100 Days to Go, I Can’t Believe It!
This is it, the homestretch. I've blogged for 265 days. There are days when I've posted more than once because I got into the Weekly Photo Challenge; and have enjoyed adding to my repertoire. I'll admit it hasn't been easy--and I've surprised myself. Maximizing the writing prompts that are offered every day by Word Press has helped … Continue reading 100 Days to Go, I Can’t Believe It!

Check out these pictures of Spring: Springtime in the Desert Every Photo Tells a Story The … Continue reading Flowers and Water
Spring in Winter
I took this week's contribution to the Weekly Photo Challenge at the 21st Annual RI Flower and Garden Show on February 23rd. Spring was just a hope that day, now it's here in full swing!
Does There Need To Be A Reason?
In Reason to Believe, Bruce Springsteen sings, “At the end of every hard-earned day / people find some reason to believe.” What’s your reason to believe? Does there have to be a reason to believe? Seriously, does everything we believe have to have an explanation, a rationale? When we're little kids we don't look for … Continue reading Does There Need To Be A Reason?
I Double-Dog Dare You
Been a tough week filled with federal reviewers checking out our Head Start program. Lots of stress and tension, every day--all day. It will all be over by the end of the day on Thursday. Today, my team showed off their best work, and it was more than enough to make a great impression on … Continue reading I Double-Dog Dare You
