There comes a time in every baby’s life when they experience the dreaded “Baby Jail”. When crawling around under foot, playing with items of questionable durability, or just generally screaming for no particular reason while tracking down their selected older person (who is usually busy trying to do something), these tiny terrorists will find themselves… Continue reading baby jail…

For the first time in my life, I met a Catholic who did not know what Fatima was. I thought all Catholics knew of the Apparitions of Our Blessed Mother. But I thought wrong. Today, I asked our parish priest why he did not mention the Consecration of Russia by Pope Francis, and his response… Continue reading puzzled…

Bliss. One online dictionary reads: “reach a state of perfect happiness, oblivious of everything else.” That is what state of being header baby is in tonight. During prayers tonight, he decided to take my little coin purse from me. He then proceeded to bash everyone on the head with it. His next target was the… Continue reading bliss…

Yesterday, I was not having a good time. Having a conversation with a cousin, I went into my usual mode of sharing information. And I was very excited, thinking I had a person who had similar ideas. But, typical for my logic-filled head, I didn’t stop. And, in a typical response, I was shut down… Continue reading cupcakes…

There comes a time when the muses leave you. They decide they’ve done enough, then leave for the Bahamas. I’d like to join them. Winter is lasting far too long. The rain doesn’t let the ground dry long enough to take a decent walk in the woods. And the smallest one in the house won’t… Continue reading I don’t feel like writing…

This is probably one of the darkest posts I will ever make. As I watched the handiwork of my artistic daughter’s handiwork, I was suddenly struck with sadness. The same thought that penetrated my heart when my father died settled sadly on my heart. If she were to be gone from this world, there would… Continue reading approaching darkness…

Okay. I don’t know who let these guys into our house. Not even sure who they are. But somewhere along the line, we have ended up with series of individuals who have taken up residence in our living quarters. How, you may ask, do I know they are here? Simple. Ask any of the kids… Continue reading eviction notice…
built-in obsolescence
Without consent, the business industrial complex has once more foisted upon everyone a change in technological services. They accomplished it with eliminating vinyl records claiming more clarity, lower cost, better quality products. MP3 players replaced all alternative devices, from tapes to cds. Now vinyl is making a bit of a comeback because the technology didn’t… Continue reading built-in obsolescence
death comes for us all…
We live in a culture of death. It is all around us. It is in the lyrics of our music. Acts of war, euthanasia, abortion, cancer, medical mistakes fill our nation. Death comes for us all. One day we will all die. Of that we are sure. The cause of our death might be by… Continue reading death comes for us all…

There is a stage of childhood that I’ve often called, “the puppy stage”. Not yet at the age of reason or enough experience to know they can’t do everything they’d like without sometimes having serious consequences, parents and guardians help to teach them not to do things that might hurt them. Such things as touching… Continue reading puppies…
