Recently my husband and I were out for drinks with another couple and the conversation turned to- of all things- Michael Jackson. The comment was made that since he never had a childhood he was emotionally stuck at 7 years old his entire life and there was nothing he could do about it. That statement lead to a minor argument… Read more »
I was reminded yesterday of the power of faith and was humbled by it all at the same time.I have a friend who has been through a jaw-dropping amount of sadness in the past five years. First, her husband of 16 years went to the ER with what everyone thought was a kidney stone but turned out to be cancer…. Read more »
I recently happened upon a haiku on a humor website. I really wish I could remember which one as I’d love to give them credit, but alas I cannot. It went like this: Haiku’s are easy to write But they don’t always make sense Refrigerator I found this highly amusing and have been composing a few of my own. I… Read more »

And some of the things I wanted when I was young I no longer want- like Guess jeans or a Barbie Dream House. Today I have used… Read more »

I can’t even Tweet! Not sure what’s going on but hope to be blogging again soon!
I spend this past weekend in the rural Minnesota community I grew up in. I spent some real quality time with my cousin and my grandfather. I did some power shopping and actually found pants that fit me- which is quite a challenge for a 6 foot tall woman. I had 2 moments on this excursion that I wasn’t expecting… Read more »
