COUNTDOWN TO 77
Every time I go in for my six month physical, I feel like I’m getting an oil change. Each of my levels is checked to make sure they are functioning the way they should. I’m asked the same questions I … Continue reading
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THIS?
Starting somewhere in Europe and migrating to the U.S. in the early 1900s, this ridiculous tradition is supposed to bring good luck to your house. I’ve often placed pictures on my fridge along with lots of magnets containing contact info … Continue reading
SO, THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN
Last October, I embarked on an old career. I stepped on the stage to perform again. The play was, “Southern Fried Funeral,” in which I portrayed Ozella Meeks, the church lady who tended to all the funeral arrangements. I guess … Continue reading
DAYS IN THE LIFE OF A MOTHER
Every mom has a few funny stories she drags up once in a while to amuse her friends or remind her kids of how much fun it is to parent. Our kids usually aren’t amused at the retelling, but that … Continue reading
WORLD PASSWORD DAY
There are so many weird holidays. You can even make up you own if you want to. Today happens to be World Password Day. How do you feel about them? For me, if I don’t write them down, I forget … Continue reading

WELCOME TO MINNESNOWTA
At least the April snow showers waited until Final Four was over. I don’t know why we’re always surprised by a late snow storm in my state, because it has become apparent that we only have two seasons – winter and … Continue reading
IN SEARCH OF MY MUSE
Writing a novel is certainly a lot different than writing a play, a poem or a short story. First of all you need at least 60,000,000 words. So far I have 38,001. I think the last word was “help!” I’m sure … Continue reading
APRIL 1ST – JUST KIDDING!
I was expecting the birth of my second child on the lst of April, but he fooled me and was born on April 3rd. That is the only April Fool’s Day prank I remember and my son had nothing to do with it. … Continue reading
I COULD WRITE A BOOK

LAUGHTER IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL
I remember my grandma telling me not to make funny faces or my face would stay that way. She was probably right, because my face has a road map of lines across it. Each of those lines can probably tell … Continue reading
DRIED UP
Isn’t it funny to see those commercials for products which promise to reduce or removed wrinkles and signs of aging – and all the models in said ads are probably 14 years old? For once, I’d love to see real … Continue reading
IT’S WEATHERMAN’S DAY
It’s National Weatherman’s Day. Most of the best weather forecasters in my state are women. I think they choose them to deliver the bad news as a way of softening the blow. My state, is known to have two seasons – … Continue reading
GET RID OF THAT BELLY FAT
OK, so the after the holidays diet started out pretty good. I even lost a couple pounds. Then Sunday came and my church is big on snacks so that got me started again. It began with a small caramel and … Continue reading
IT’S PIE DAY!
This is the perfect time of year for a warm piece of pie with a scoop of ice cream on top. Slowly the ice cream melts and cascades over the crisp crust, enticing every taste bud in your mouth. You … Continue reading
ARCHAEOLOGIST OR PALEONTOLOGIST?
Most of you know my husband, Paul, is an established artist. He’s worked in most mediums throughout his career — Oil, chalk pastel, watercolor, acrylic. He’s also an accomplished sculpter, having done his very first significant piece in granite when he … Continue reading
TECHNOLOGICALLY CHALLENGED
Yesterday, as we prepared for Paul’s upcoming one man art show, I felt quite organized. Together we categorized the large body of work he will exhibit – listing each painting by name, year painted and medium used. I wrote them … Continue reading

WHO LET THE DOG OUT?
This is in response to Amy Blount’s blog from yesterday – a challenge to use idioms in a story or a poem. Then I am to challenge some of my friends to do the same. I challenge: tostrengthenamothersheart cookiecrumbstoliveby hatrackley.com … Continue reading
