In Memory
This is not only Memorial Day, but my mother's birthday as well. She would have been 60 today. This photo of my parents was taken in May of 2001 at a luau hosted by dear church friends. I was driving home from an out-of-state baseball tournament and missed it. I also...
Great-on-the-Grill Vidalias
I was thrilled today to buy my first bag of Vidalia onions this season. I wanted to share a recipe that our family loves. It's my dad's recipe, so I hope he doesn't mind that I just submitted it in the "Very Vidalia" recipe contest! Great-on-the-Grill Vidalias Vidalia...
Buggy Love
My daddy is one of the most generous people I've ever known. When I got my driver's license at 16, he started driving the company truck and handed over the keys to his prized blue '73 Mustang convertible. The boys were quite impressed with my ride and immediately...
Hitting the road!
I am so excited! Some of us are attending my cousin Queen Shenaynay's oldest daughter's graduation ceremony - WOO HOO! We rarely see each other, so this is a real treat for her family to be only 200 miles away. Some of my kids will be meeting their cousins for the...

Territorial by nature
I would fail miserably in my documentation of the kid funnies if I neglected to relate this incident which I missed but was relayed to me in great detail. Lily has some little friends at church who are close to her age; at almost two, she is the oldest. I have noticed...
Poor old…
My Granddad's birthday would have been today. He passed away 16 years ago, just days before the birth of my second child. This picture was taken of him holding my oldest son, Jacob, on his third birthday. Jacob was the first grandchild for both families, which made...

As a member of the Mother/Son Outing committee for my homeschool group, I helped coordinate our activity for this year's event: letterboxing. Ever heard of letterboxing? I hadn't. Here's an abbreviated description from Letterboxing.org: Letterboxing is an intriguing...
