I am in a new season of life it would seem. The one where I am called out on my assumptions and the conclusions I've jumped to. I am fascinated and intrigued by it, because the message to "chill" and "give things a second or third glance" continues to come from the strangest and most… Continue reading The One About Shopping Carts and This Season I’m In

Looking Forward To…..
Such a lovely day today. The sunshine. The crisp fall leaves beneath our feet. The colors of the trees, the faint smell of fall in the air. The children ran as far as they could until they collapsed in a pile of arms and legs, laughing. We explored the park, read the historical signs, the… Continue reading Looking Forward To…..
Friend is a Verb
For my littles, who are worried about such things as this: Friend is a verb. You know, you've learned this in Grammar--a verb is something you do. I know you think friend's a noun-an improper one at that, but it is also a verb. So when I hear you worrying over who your best friend… Continue reading Friend is a Verb
on going back
going back to the person whose heart you hurt oh so long ago and saying "I'm sorry, it was my brokenness, not yours" courage going back to the person whom you might have offended and saying, "I'm sorry, for the words that came without thought" humility going back to the person you've been so angry… Continue reading on going back
I Want the Caramel Flavored Fluoride Too!
Whoo. What a day. We worked hard to get in as much of our studies as we could before heading out for dentist appointments. Me and the littles. I used to love going to the dentist. That ceased two and a half years ago. I got my first cavity. Ever. I was so mad. I… Continue reading I Want the Caramel Flavored Fluoride Too!
Turning Over an Old Leaf
"Tara, I have a mother. She lives way up north of here," my brother-in-law Leroy said. He looked down at me and smiled.Last night at the Fair with Mess Cat and her family, the truth came out. I try to fix people's lives. Way. Too. Much. I don't even remember what we were talking about… Continue reading Turning Over an Old Leaf
Cold Drinks and Warm Hearts, Friends Old and New
Tonight my heart was as full as my coolers were this afternoon. And my spirit was a light as the puppy bouncing across our front yard this evening, frolicking with joy. I am joyful too. This evening we had a group come serve supper at Daybreak. My crew and I took ten gallons of sweet… Continue reading Cold Drinks and Warm Hearts, Friends Old and New
The Tie That Binds
Once upon a time, eight or nine years ago, there were three little kittens. They lived with their Mama and their people next door to my parents' place at Blackberry Flats. They played and frolicked and were very cute. One day their people started loading things up and moved away. And they left the three little kittens… Continue reading The Tie That Binds
Miscellaneous Meanderings
So it's Saturday. And maybe it's because it's a new month or I'm tired or allergies or I'm just getting old, I cannot focus today. So here's a peek at what I've thought about or done today. Our princess had an extra ballet and tap practice today. It's recital season and we are so close, so… Continue reading Miscellaneous Meanderings
LOL…..just don’t cut it
This afternoon my middle sister called. She had a few minutes and wanted to share something that had happened in her adventures in homeschooling. She got tickled as she told it. So much so that her giggling overcame her voice, and she had to give into it for a moment. Which started me laughing. And… Continue reading LOL…..just don’t cut it
