Dirt
Second Sunday of Advent
This morning I woke up late, I don’t even remember hearing the radio program Dirt and I listen to on Sunday mornings. My head was pounding, I couldn’t move it and the dull rainy morning light felt like a ice pick in my head, so much for the drugs Dirt picked up for me to … Continue reading

I loved that he said “You don’t have to eat it if you don’t like it, but you should definitely try it,” with a smile on his face and a steely gaze bearing down on me. I knew then that this was the man I needed to marry, he would make my children try foods … Continue reading
Annual Things We Never Seem To Do Annually
But some that we do do annually, that is what is on my mind today. I was just telling a friend that October seems to be a time that the calendar fills up with lots of potential events to attend. This weekend was the date of the local Greek festival, a favorite with us girls, … Continue reading
