But I’m going to. As of this evening, my mom has been in town for a week. She leaves Saturday morning. I love my mom because she is my mom. And I am grateful that I have a mom that is alive and that loves my daughter so much. I know many people whose parents [...]
Letting Go

That day has arrived again. Today marks the 9th anniversary of my grandma’s death. I am pretty sure I blog about her every year on February 17th. It’s been 9 years, and I miss her terribly. I know that she is watching me, and I know that she is proud of me. And I know [...]
Changes

So many changes going on. First, apparently it is now fall. I hadn’t noticed, since we are expecting record highs near 90 today here in Denver, and 80′s are predicted for the upcoming week. Yesterday and today have been absolutely stunning days here. Not a cloud in the sky, and just great days to be [...]
Mother’s Day

In some ways, I feel the same way about Mother’s Day as I do about Valentine’s Day – we should be recognizing our parents every day, just like we should tell those we love what they mean to us every day. But, I guess it IS nice to have a day where we can be [...]
Accentuate the Positive

That is what this weekend is all about. Accentuating the positive, eliminating the negative. I want to thank everyone who has posted kind words about Vinny on my blog, Facebook & Twitter. They truly mean so much to me! Scott and I have talked and we are willing to do what we can for Vinny [...]
But I didn’t kill anyone

The yard. Who knew that it was going to be such a pain in the ass. (Probably everyone but us). The fun continues. Today my brother-in-law came over to show us how to use the lawn mower. Stop laughing. I told you that I was never allowed to mow the lawn growing up, and Scott [...]
Drama

Yesterday I posted about a topic that is very important to me – helping to save the lives of animals, and educating people on ways to live with your animals with allergies. I also included ways to find dogs that are less allergenic than others. Someone got all bent out of shape and accused me [...]
Tons of fun

I normally don’t say that about my mom’s visits, but this time my brother is coming with her. That is the fun part. First, he’s bringing my birthday present which is a brand spankin’ new iPad. I’m not a huge Apple fan, but I will say that I am addicted to my iTouch (especially Words [...]
Getting older is so much fun!

I received a birthday card from my aunt today. She’ll be 76 in a couple of weeks. She had asked my mom what we needed for the house, and my mom told her we needed a new kitchen faucet. So, she sent me a very nice check with a note enclosed that said “use this [...]

From my family to yours, I hope that all of you who celebrate Christmas had a wonderful day today! Christmas is also my dad’s birthday, so we had a nice Skype chat this morning with him, my stepmom, sister & brother. My brother bought my dad a webcam for Christmas/birthday so now we can chat [...]
