She’s back

Maidenform was back tonight.  New color-it must be the new fall line.  

On becoming grumpy

so, how does it happen?  I wonder these things when I see a grumpy man standing outside of Ikea waiting for it to open.  He is lifting his watch to the window and yelling through the window that they are late.  The employees open the door and say good morning and he mumbles, “you’re late.”  [...]

More about Parker

I will stop referring to it as Emerald Cove… I didn’t know what else to call it but now I know that it is situated in Parker, AZ and that sounds more like the truth.  It was no Emerald and it was not a cove.  I want to remember its reality in case there is [...]

More of Emerald Cove

I promised a recap… I had to recover before I had to regurgitate myexperience.We showed up, 12:00pm appt with Betsy apparently was overbooked forthe 12 so we ended up with another very nice gal. Sales tacticsstarted up but the sad thing is that we knew we were NOT going to buybefore she even started. Should [...]

Emerald Cove

When we bought our trailer, we were kindly awarded 20 nights at thisplace called Emerald Cove on the Colorado River. The pictures lookedamazing-gree, fresh, cool, water, water, water… Kids club, golf,karaoke, and much more. Well, here we are at Emerald Cove and we seemto be one of only 2 guests. Hmmm. Does the rest of [...]

prayers

I have a feeling that there will be many posts in my life about prayers.  Today, I got such a clear answer to a prayer that there was no way I could deny the gift and clarity.  I was going to add lots of words, actually I did.  I wanted to share my experience, like [...]

Inspiration

I am sitting here in my little (did I mention little) “hobby” room.  I love the crisp feel in here-new floors, new paint, and new baseboards.  It is refreshing and inspiring to me.  It leaves me with the ability to do something new in here.  I was catching up on blogs while waiting for my [...]

The Monkey

Zane came home from preschool with his first official craft.  “Mom, its a monkey,” he said and I could see that.  Then he wanted me to touch the brown pipe cleaner tail.  As I touched it he said, “Mom isn’t it cozy?”  He has been carrying little monkey around with him for 2 days now.  [...]

The case of the loose tooth

Tim and I picked up Zoe for lunch today.  Isn’t it funny how please kids are to see you for lunch?  I love it-the simplicities of life.  Anyhow, during lunch, her front tooth (which has been very loose for some time now) started to bleed.  We were trying to convince her to pull it but  [...]

Computer time

Zoe was at our bedside this morning asking for help with a ponytail inher hair. I rolled over to confirm that the night wasn't over and sureenough, I still had time to sleep-it was only 5:30. Tim told her thatit was too early to wake-up and her comment, "I wanted to wake upearly so I [...]
