My Biggest Blunder this Week (Also My Biggest Laugh) I am talking with two friends when A says, “Okay, I am going to share a story with you. It’s a little,” and she shakes her head, “embarrassing. I hope it doesn’t cause your opinion of me to drop any lower.” “Don’t worry,” I interject, “my ... Read More

Life as it Comes #14 | The Art of Spraying

Most people think spraying is easy. Little do they realize the self-control, the analytical math mind, and the sense of timing that accompany this job.

Finding the Antidote

An unwelcome visitor descended on our house this week. It started with irritated skin, itching, and now bumpy skin, quickly turned to oozing, irritated, and red cracked skin. Yes, poison ivy descended for a lengthy visit on the youngest member of our household and a much milder case for the ... Read More

Sweet and Sour, Happy and Sad

It’s that time of year again. Sweet and Sour. Black and White. Joy and Sorrow. Good and Bad. Happy and Sad. Excitement and Dread. Two opposites.
