The title of this blog entry is borrowed from a Garth Brooks song (Papa Loved Mama). Happily, there is no connection between the events of his song (infidelity) and the events that lead me to this post. Most of us behave a certain way around our family and a different way around our friends- some of us more so… Read more »
This morning I had to make a quick run to the local discount store because I had a washing machine full of soggy clothes and no laundry detergent. Oops! While I was there I heard a snippet of the song “My Way” that has been recorded by many people over the years, mostly famously Frank Sinatra. Since my brain loves… Read more »
I seem to have stumbled upon the secret for getting TONS of feedback (mostly via email and Facebook) on my blog. I had no idea how many people had such strong feelings about Homecoming antics! While I still disagree with most of you on this one I am very grateful and thankful for ALL of your comments and thoughts…. Read more »
I need someone to explain to me- in very small words- why vandalism in the name of tradition has become socially acceptable. This week is homecoming in several area towns and along with that is miles and miles of toilet paper strewn into every tree in sight. I have been told it’s harmless fun. No, it isn’t. Go ask… Read more »
I have had the Randy Travis song (recently remade by Carrie Underwood) “I Told You So” stuck in my head for 2 days now. And the worst part is that it’s Carrie’s version that’s lodged in my brain trying to drive me slowly insane. Don’t get me wrong- I think Carrie Underwood is very talented- but I just don’t think… Read more »

Yes, it’s the magical time of year when everything is possible and even the Detroit Lions are still in the playoff hunt! I love it! For the next 4 months on any given Sunday you can find me on my couch yelling… Read more »
I am half dead (or feel like it anyway) with a sinus cold but there are 2 things I just had to say: #1 Those are NOT my feet in my last entry. I pulled that picture off the internet!! #2 Why is it that the more TV channels I have the less there is on??
I love Facebook. I love reading status updates, looking at pictures and yes, I do love playing silly games too. I have Facebook friends from all over the place ranging from classmates I haven’t seen in 15 years or more to my next door neighbor. I also have a MySpace page and have had the same email address forever now…. Read more »
There comes a time in everyone’s life when they realize that their days of being “with it” are over. When all the songs on Top 40 radio sound the same and don’t sound anything like the good music that was put out when we were younger. When 85% of the clothes you see in the stores look more like costumes… Read more »
I woke up this (Saturday) morning earlier than I wanted to because I had to take my car in for service at 8AM. As the alarm went off I thought all kinds of unpleasant things. But then my cat Pumpkin jumped up onto me, curled up, and started purring like she didn’t have a care in a world. As I… Read more »
