Outside my window… Eww eww eww. There is so much outside work to be done before we go back to *that other place* to stay live. Gutters need to be cleaned (we don’t own a ladder), mowing needs to be done around trees and such, some of the brick areas need [...]
I was raised Catholic, and since I was a small child, it was ingrained in us that there was a special moment during church service every Sunday that we would be able to go to communion and partake in the unleavened bread and wine.

The thing about birthdays is that we (meaning I) tend to have this *expectation* that they’ll be a little extra special compared to the normal day. Lucky for me, I have a few great people in my life that were intent on making that happen. (Thanks to those of you who took some time out [...]

The fresh arrangement of violets and blues spill over the vase, creating a rainbow of soft indigo petals lusciously grouped together. A small tag, attached with silver ribbon flutters in the breeze of the open window. As you read it, you smile. He’s quoted a lyric of your favorite song and in one line made [...]

Why pay someone for what I can do myself?
