In Case You Want to Help….

In answer to a question at Home Ec 101, here is a list of things we kept handy for when people would call and ask what they could do when my dad was dying of cancer 6 years ago. My brother was also dying of cerebral palsy and the complications of a trache. When [...]

Life Back to Normal…

I am back to work and normality. I just want to spend the rest of this week doing the things that are normally so boring. Cleaning house, cleaning up my genealogy database, laundry, teaching my four year olds to color in the lines. Anything that doesn’t involve sitting.
I am blessed to have [...]

Spinster Lady…

I plainly remember the day my grandmother asked me when was I going to get married. Did I want to grow old without a husband? Well, frankly yes, at that current moment I did want to grow a little older without a husband. Granny died when I was 13.
I did marry [...]

Just another day at Hotel Yellow…

Nothing new to report genealogy wise today. #2 has pneumonia and I was off to take her to the doctor. She’s sounding better already and the fever is down, so I can sleep easier tonight. Since I was off, I did all those things that I didn’t get done Monday because of the holiday. [...]

MTSU Time…

Back in the early 80s, mom had an extra ten grand to spend and a teenage daughter and thought the two would go nicely together at Middle Tennessee State University. (She was wrong).
