I actually don’t like the term pet parent or fur baby. I own a pet. I had dogs when I was a little kid, the dogs were loved and cared for but never thought of as children. I now share a dog with another family member, my first time having a pet as an adult.Continue reading “Pet Mama”

What I Did on My Summer Vacation
I was 11 going into 7th grade. Young, yes but I started kindergarten at 4 so that would place me in 7th grade at 11. Seventh grade was the start of middle school, a large middle school where I would get lost in the crowd.My “What I Did During Summer Vacation” story was probably notContinue reading “What I Did on My Summer Vacation”
Always Something There to Remind Me
My father died (suddenly) 40 years ago today. There is a lot to unpack about this but I’ll do some of that later. I found something I wrote soon after he died; it’s not dated but my guess is that it was within a year of his death. I am missing the last page butContinue reading “Always Something There to Remind Me”
East Coast/Midwest Coast
When I have down time I will write little memories in my notes app. I found a few and am adding to my blog. Many of these were done while at the hairdresser waiting for the color to do its thing. 1st in the series”Notes from the hair chair” When I was 6 I movedContinue reading “East Coast/Midwest Coast”
Running as a Kid
What are your first memories of running? The Presidential Physical Fitness Challenge, remember that? I was not an athletic child, I played soccer but was afraid of the ball. I was often one of the last kids left in dodge ball, not because I was skilled but everyone knew that I would be easy toContinue reading “Running as a Kid”

Encyclopedia mania
Do you remember life before the internet? Of course. The internet wasn’t common when I was in school, really until after I started working. In school we had to look things up using encyclopedias, card catalogs and microfilms. We used phone books to get numbers and addresses. Newspapers were sources for daily information. We orderedContinue reading “Encyclopedia mania”
Baby It’s Cold Outside
How do you feel about cold weather? (Yup, I’m referencing a controversial song) The cold never bothered me anyway. (I’ll stop). I’m all for seasons, for four seasons. I like bundling up in a warm winter coat and a cute hat. Getting under a warm blanket with a cup of tea. What bothers me aboutContinue reading “Baby It’s Cold Outside”
What if it worked out…
Exactly how you imagined it, or greater. Entertain that thought. Someone posed that question to me and I struggled to find the answer. I’m not a pessimist, more of a realist. I’ve had life experiences that have made me not expect everything to work out how I imagined it. I’m blessed in so many waysContinue reading “What if it worked out…”
If I could be king for one day
What’s a job you would like to do for just one day? My initial thought is being a teacher, I often thought about being a teacher but never got far with it. I would enjoy working with children but the administrative side of it would bother me. What I would like to do though isContinue reading “If I could be king for one day”
