Tonight was the annual banquet/awards for the Village Players. Someone once thought that the awards were known as the Hickies. Personally, I would change the name right away (“I got a Hickie…where’s yours?”). Presently, they are known as the Villies. I must say that I believe my table of family of 8 thoroughly enjoyed the […]

Today was Aunt Carol’s memorial service. It was really difficult but a very nice way for friends and family to gather to celebrate fond memories and the long, hard fought battle she waged for a remarkable 7 years (even more remarkable knowing that her original diagnosis was 5). We arrived at the funeral home around

As you might have read in an earlier blog post, I received a pet store gift certificate for Christmas from my husband. Today I spent it – I picked out the newest member of our family – JJ the parakeet! When you adopt a pet parakeet from a pet store, the workers have to barge
Another tangents’ blogger made comments on reading the Harry Potter series. I am currently reading a series by a different author. I’m reading “The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant” again. While I know that some people don’t like reading a long series in succession, that is usually my goal. I like to finish the story. I

It took two nights, but we finally made it through the sci-fi 80’s thriller, The Abyss. What is with me and all the science fiction lately? Not usually my cup of tea; I guess I’ve just been enjoying a change of scenery. One reason for wanting to watch the Abyss is that I was very
I think I’m in the final stages of some illness. I lost most of my voice for a day and 1/2. On top of that I had a headache that would not go away for long. It was there, and then it got better. But then it came back again. The headache is gone, the

I did it. I’ve finished reading the first book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. And I really enjoyed it; I think I can officially call myself a Harry Potter fan! The book was very fast-moving, and because it’s kind of a kids’ fantasy book (but don’t get the wrong

I got an email tonight that has lifted my spirits quite a bit!. There is a new theatre group just starting to get on its feet in the area. I was invited to be a member of the cast for its second show coming Valentine’s weekend. What little I know about it (don’t even have

THANKS – to the one who got us the 300 piece puzzle for Christmas. Granted, 300 pieces are not too many for a puzzle. But normal puzzles usually have the person putting together a broken portrait, like a picture of a landscape or a scene. But the puzzle given to my 10-year-old back in December

I am glad to be home. I’ve got a nice warm cup of coffee next to me as I sit at my computer… but don’t let my facade of relaxation fool you. I’ve already changed 3 dirty diapers and broken up 4 squabbles in the past hour since I’ve been home, with more of both
