I grew up in a family with a legacy of deep-rooted superstitions. An inordinate amount of them, too. Not just the eat greens and peas on New Year’s Day, those are rather mild in consideration. With Irish great-grandparents with customs of throwing salt over your shoulder, never standing with just one shoe on, and always Read More
First thing each morning, Little Buddy leans over the balcony railing trying to spy with his little eye where Jeff might be hanging out. And the first words out of his mouth are no longer, “Good morning.” I am now greeted with an exuberant, “Where’s Jeff?” Is Jeff sitting in the sleigh of Little Buddy’s Read More
I’ve been taking a trip down memory lane today looking at Halloween costumes from our previous eight years of trick-or-treating. We started with Mickey Mouse. Little Buddy wore that costume around for weeks. He would drag it like Linus’ blanket with him and then start putting his hands in the gloves when he wanted to Read More
My grandparents were not wealthy people, but they provided well for themselves and their family. They worked hard, saved, and used cash for purchases instead of credit. I’m not sure if they ever even had a credit card. They just didn’t need one. It wasn’t part of their lifestyle. Grandmother did have nice things though. Read More
It seems like yesterday we were standing in the resort on our honeymoon. Fresh faced twenty-somethings excited to build our lives together.

When Little Buddy was two years old, his favorite song was Long Black Train by Josh Turner. He’d try his best to make his voice hit those impossibly low notes as we replayed the song over and over and over again. And if he ever caught a glimpse of a black train, I knew singing Read More
Happy Father’s Day, Darling. I’m not sure what I’ve done for God to grant me the blessing of you as my husband and Little Buddy’s Daddy. I knew from the moment we met you were going to be a special fella in my life — or at least I was praying you would. Thankfully, God Read More

I am so thankful for my boys. I always have been, but honestly I think I can take them for granted from time to time. Okay, probably more than I realize. But in a minute’s time, what really matters was made apparent.
Looking back, they look like they were just children themselves. So full of love and life.I wonder if they realized they had such a wonderful life ahead of them. They would rear six children while building their own business. An all-American dream come true. I’m fortunate to have married their son. The lessons they taught Read More
