Living in the Peace Zone
As hilarious as it was, it still went SOUTH! We had it! Done with not enough storage space! So, we went to the IKEA store for a storage cabinet for the excess in our kitchen. But, to our chagrin, it was no longer in stock. So, since Amazon seems to carry everything, we found a…
Ever heard that hurtful phrase before? It can be one of those times when our parent forgot to pick us up at school or be at our piano or dance recital or baseball game. Or an important phone call was expected, but never came because someone forgot us? I know those words and how deeply…

It is Sunday and arriving at home after church, my phone alerts me that my wallet is missing. I keep an AirTag on my wallet and luggage. It is an easy way to keep track of my stuff and Lord knows I need help with that! My AirTag is my radar for tracking down my…

We did it! Eighteen of us, including a sweet baby in his stroller, walked, jogged, or ran (in the case of my grandson, Payton, and his buddy, Jaiden, age 14). BTW, Jaiden placed first in his age group. All was to support EMwomen. Nothing to compare to the 26.2 miles and 13.1 marathons Run the…
