Parenting Questions

Yesterday, my son was so sweet and saw that there was trash strewn all over the lawn.  He decided to go out and pick it up.  When we came home from work, he was bursting to tell us about his “good deed”.
Behind him, we could see the table had been damaged sometime while we were [...]

My Grandfather…

My Grandfather passed away on February 7th.
I just returned from attending his funeral in Salt Lake City.
He was a good man. 
I wish I had known him better.  My gypsy life comes with a high price and that is getting to spend time with family.
Being home with my family really made me realize how much I wish [...]

Packages Mailed…

Okay, it is silly what a big deal this is… but I go my Christmas packages mailed finally!!

And this is from someone who hates VERY FEW movies.
So, you [...]

Emergency Room Visit…

My daughter had to go to the Emergency Room tonight.  Poor thing REALLY smashed up her Big Toe!!
I am such a baby I couldn’t even stand to look at her poor toe!  It isn’t the blood… it is the grossness of the damage to the toe!  I am terrible about pain and grossness!!  It is [...]

Halloween Milestone…

If you are family or a dear friend, you can see the halloween pics at Ringo! [...]
