It’s here! Spring is finally here. We have a poppy blooming in our garden. The weather is getting warmer. There are bugs flying around. The grass needs to be cut. All the signs that spring must be here. How much longer before we start to hear – ugh, it’s so hot outside. I’ll take it, though. … Continue reading It’s Here
Ouch. My tooth has been bothering me lately. I may have a cavity. Or I may just have a sinus thing going on. Sometimes it hurts in my tooth, sometimes in the one above it. Other times it doesn’t bother me at all. Sometimes it gets all – yikes – when something cold hits my … Continue reading Falling Apart
Yesterday our daughter went to spend the weekend with her friend, which left us with a date day. A whole day and night just for ourselves. Since it was St. Patrick’s Day weekend, the one thing on the agenda was to go out to O’Connor Brewery for their big St Paddy’s party. Bands, green, food trucks, green, dark beer, and green beer.

For the first time in what feels like forever, we don’t really have anything to do this weekend. No birthday celebrations, n0 orchestra performances, no ODU basketball games, concerts, visits from relatives, travel, or even shopping that we need to go out to do. So we decided to just stay in all weekend and watch movies. Continue reading “Movie Weekend”
Today is the last day of our daughter’s birthday month. Yeah, birthday month. Continue reading “Birthdays, Miles, and Deposits”
Is this the year of change? It most certainly has been out there in the world, with the rise of Trump and the collective mind losing of everybody on the left. But how about closer to home?
