So it doesn’t spell a real word. Sue me 😛 (no, please don’t- who can afford an attorney these days?) Anyway, it is time for my bimonthly update it would seem. Let’s try bullet points since much has gone on- not so dull after all. AWANA- ended several weeks ago. First year of round 3 […]

It really does seem like yesterday that I was on stage in what is now my third favorite role ever. A few fantastic parts over the last 6 years or so have pushed it back a few places. I’m not one to play favorites but let’s be honest… some roles just hold more meaning behind
This year marks two centennial anniversaries. Of course, the most famous being the launch and sinking of the SS Minnow (err,,) RMS Titanic. Today, our village celebrated the anniversary of the dedication of Clem, the Civil War Monument that first stood at the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Indiana Street until it was moved to its

I cannot believe how fast the little (or not so little) nephews and nieces are! From Shelby who turned 17 in March to the tiniest Kydall who is 6 months, it doesn’t seem possible that one of them is driving. Shelby still has not gotten her permit but I know some adults who have never
A dull life that is. There has really been nothing exciting to write about. Working, eating, browsing the web. And the few days during the week I trek to my church for small group, AWANA, and service. Easter service a few weeks ago topped last year’s. An award-winning gospel artist returned to sing with us
Over the past few years, I’ve become quite comfortable spending time by myself. I found out, with all that time, I really do like me. I’m easy company. I don’t ask for much and don’t need a lot of attention. A good book, good movie, good music, some computer time,a warm house and full belly
It was never goodbye. It seems that whenever Dick Clark signed off for any of his broadcasts, it would be with his traditional salute and his familiar “This is Dick Clark… so long.” Whether it be the myriad incarnations of the original Pyramid game show, “Bloopers and Practical Jokes” (along side another icon, Ed McMahon),
Here it is mid-April already! It’s funny that a few days ago I thought I had made the decision to not blog anymore, but here I am (part of this doing-less-for-me-more-for-others mentality I’m attempting). I have a kid who wants to train to be a babysitter by watching her siblings, and I have a baby
