You’d expect daily pandemonium in a household of seven but wait! Like those infomercials on TV, we got two for the price of one! And at no extra charge, Daddy and I both walked and talked in our sleep. Most people have experience with people talking in their sleep, but sleep-walking less common.

Happiness! The Count is Coming to Town!
On the subject of happiness, some days start routinely no expectation of stumbling into pure joy. One of my precious children, who shall remain forever nameless, experienced that life-changing thrill when they while searching frantically for an item to take to their class for a current events assignment on March 5, 1985 when this golden picture was printed in the local paper.

God is good!

On the way to my father’s funeral, my mother was sitting between me and my husband. Of course, it was a somber time. I was anxious to be of support to her, mindful of her grief and all the problems loss of a Continue reading
Vagina, Boobs, and Poop (Part 7)
This post has nothing to do with Vagina, Boobs, and Poop. I am doing a post on crazy things my mother has said and done and wanted to see if this garnered interest. Mother is sensitive about her age and height, so I can’t mention the fact that she is past eighty, and “not tall,” but besides that, has said and done some interesting things. (Links to part 1-5 below) Continue reading
