I don’t mind telling you that I’m not ready to start a new week. Do I have to? I believe I’d like to continue my state of denial at least through Madam Secretary and The Good Wife tonight. You don’t mind, do you? So first of all, the sun actually shone in Minnesota the entire weekend […] Read more…
When life gets stressful for me, I always find the farm a very helpful place to get away. Is it the sense of calm that descends as we drive down the very familiar driveway, lined with decades-old trees and farm fields near and far to the eye? Is it because no matter how old I get […] Read more…
We spent time with our niece, Miss Morgan, on Saturday and Sunday morning. She’s just over 15 months and quite the little toddler now.

Joe and I love Sunday night and wish it would last longer. 🙂 My sister-in-law, Judy, and our […] Read more…
This past week was a bit of a whirlwind, thanks to a business trip to Atlanta that took me away from home on Joe’s birthday (last Monday) and back on Thursday. I’m not a big fan of missing my son’s actual birthday because of work; however, it has only happened once before in 11 years, […] Read more…
It’s Christmas Eve and we’re packing up to hit the road. We don’t travel too far – just a couple of hours to Teacher Man’s family later today and then on Christmas Day, we head to my parents’ farm, another three hours or so. On Friday, we will eventually wind our way back home. It’s a […] Read more…
