Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Many years ago, when we were in our third or fourth year of marriage, I learned a big lesson regarding talking about my guy. I had been at work and gone out to lunch with a friend and on the way back to the office, I called our home answering machine to check our messages.... Continue Reading →
It's that time of year!

I love this picture. Yes, it's not great quality, too bright, taken through a glass door and you can't really make out the people in it. But my heart can. You see, our youngest has had a tough year.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries 1 lb strawberries 1 c. chocolate chips (semi sweet, milk, dark, whatever) 2 t.... Continue Reading →
My guy travels. A lot. He is often in another country and sometimes on a different continent. This is part of who we are as a family; it has been this way for years. But that doesn’t mean that we are experts at living a separated life. When my guy is gone I don’t function... Continue Reading →
