My Favorite Childhood Book

Friday, November 4th, 2011

  When I was 3, I received Beth’s Happy Day for my  birthday. I loved this little book about a little girl who shared her birthday happiness with her neighbors.

The Big 4-0

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

I’m having a birthday pretty soon and it’s the big 4-0! I am not sure I’m mature enough to be 40! Really! I am NOT going to post a “40 things I’ve learned in 40 years” post because I think those are a little arrogant. And I’ve learned FAR more than 40 things in my [...]

What To Say Today?

Hmmm not much! What’s going on in your world?   It’s sunny here today which is nice–I get SO tired when it’s dreary. James is working on his math and I need more coffee!  

“Poor People”
