We’re having an awful lot of fun in Davidson right now. We live in the town best known right now as the home of the Wildcats – the improbable Sweet 16 contenders. Slade’s been following the team for a while, but the rest of us are jumping on the bandwagon. I did pick the team…
DetailsToday is my ten-year wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe it. Our wedding was wonderful. An amazing celebration with friends and family – everything was perfect. But it’s the day after that proved to me that I was truly with the right person. That’s because everything was definitely not perfect. We had a huge honeymoon…
DetailsWe have a joke around here that when we get snow or bad weather in the forecast, everybody starts thinking about French toast. Why else does everyone run to the store for milk, eggs & bread? When I think of French toast, I think of llamas. My sister and I both went to college in…
DetailsMy kids are going through a funny phase right now. When I do something they like they say, "You’re the best mommy in the world!" Luckily, they haven’t caught on to the flip side of that; I haven’t heard anything about being the worst. I’m sure that’s coming. The DVD player in my van stopped…

Benny’s been running high for the past week. He’s fighting a cold and anytime he gets sick, his blood sugar levels go crazy. Of course, he’s also grown…
DetailsOne of the high points of my Florida vacation a few weeks ago was playing golf with my mom. We rarely get to play together – maybe once or twice a year – and it’s always a great time. I’m so happy to report that Mom just got a hole in one! It was on…
DetailsEach night, I try to watch at least part of all three network newscasts. I find myself generally drawn mostly to NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. Maybe I’ve got politics on the brain, but I think I’ve spotted a new fashion trend there. I sent NBC this email: —— Dear Nightly News Folks, Recently…
DetailsBack to blogging after a break for the holidays. Quick recap of recent stuff: We visited my mom and dad in Florida over Christmas break. Moved Benny into the "big boy" bed and out of the crib while we were there. My mom has a crib, but she shares it with some other Grandmas down…
