I was at the bank today, getting a document notarized for something really exciting that I’ll be revealing soon…..and the bank notary struck up some conversation with me. I am always floored when people in businesses or banks remember details about clients, and this bank employee was especially good. She rounded the corner, saw me…

Trying to Keep My Eyes Open
And I am failing miserably. So I will be less Wordful than I typically am on Wednesdays and post a few random pictures from this week. We’ve stayed busy….hanging out with Uncle B, learning how to french braid, baking, wrestling, photo shoots, and even some nature-apppreciation. No wonder I’m so tired. PS–Stephanie from Sugar and…

According to my Daughter….
Reese begged me tonight after dinner to let her work on something on my computer. She said she needed to write something and she could NOT write it by hand. I was heading out to Back to School night at the elementary school, Twizzler was heading to cub scouts, KitKat was already at the big…
Day One
This week, I had the joy of meeting my new niece on her first full day on earth. She was born over a month early, but was perfect in every way. It was love at first site. Of all the joys that lighten suffering earth, what joy is welcomed like a newborn child? ~Dorothy L….
