Usually I don’t plan out or edit my blogs. This time what I want to write about requires some explanation so I’ve had to think this through. I don’t share this preface to make anyone feel sorry for me or to martyr myself. But, rather, to demonstrate how incredible actions of incredible cousins gave meContinue reading “You see me, you really see me!”

Happy Birthday Mary (Minnie) aka Grandma Allan C!
It’s been a minute since I’ve written a blog. Life is messy and chaotic and busy these days which doesn’t exactly lend itself to time for …well anything, really, least of all reflection.

Friends are friends forever…?
You know that moment when you’re in a crowded public space and you catch a glimpse of an old friend you haven’t seen in awhile across the room?

As the smell of the newly flowered phlox fills my yard and I am filled to the gills from my cherry tree, I have come to the realization that it’s been quite some time since I’ve written. In the hustle and bustle of life, that happens….the very thing that helps to keep me sane getsContinue reading “Reunion Reflections”
Big Brother
Bringing up the ‘family distancing’ earlier this week has me focusing on my family more than ever. It’s been rolling around in my brain for days! I have never understood siblings that stop speaking for years at a time or some such nonsense. I have been gifted only one sibling, a big brother, Brian…and asContinue reading “Big Brother”
