While I was in Missouri, Stormie-the-baby was in a serious, car-totaling accident. Yes-her beloved Toyota Camry (which was getting about 38 miles per gallon in the city!!) got majorly crunched when she t-boned some crazy driver who decided to shoot out of a parking lot on a whim.
Because there was very little reaction time, she really [...]
Tara made Rice Krispie-treat-gummi-candy-fruit-roll-up Sushi for DP’s birthday in June as an alternative to cake. It was a hit!

Twenty-four years ago today, my one and only male-child-by-birth arrived. Twenty-four years ago today, the baby whose birth caused me to both laugh and cry and kept me up all night long looking at him and loving him and breathing him in was born. (See last year’s post here)
Today is Rocky’s birthday.
Happy Birthday, Rocky, intense [...]
I doubt it could be any more beautiful a day if I’d put in my very own order. A warm, bright sun with the gentlest of breezes sweeping periodically through adorns my world. The grass is brilliantly green, something you have to work for during the summer months, but comes easily these early fall days. The [...]
OK, a riddle:
What do you get when you puree a couple dozen huge, juicy, red seeded tomatoes with several cloves of garlic, a big handful of cilantro, a giant super-sweet onion, the juice of 3 limes, some jalepenos (as much as you can take and still be functional) and Kosher salt (accept every blessing you can [...]
I have 8 nephews and 2 nieces among my siblings. For the most part, we’ve never lived in the same city, so they are just these far-off adorables you get to see growing up through Christmas card photos and the every-other-year family gatherings. They are a pretty likeable bunch!
Until March, we have never lived closer [...]

Hey, it’s good to be back home again
Sometimes this old house feels like a long-lost friend
Hey, it’s good to be back home again…

The best way to travel Kansas? From 34,000 feet! Home again. It’s good to be back.
Love and Kisses to my parents-missed you today for leisurely coffee…Jeanie
NOTE TO SELF: There is no place [...]
Yes - a grasshopper flew into my hair and got stuck.
Yes - “millers” followed me in to the house nightly.
Yes - a mosquito or two tried to suck my blood.
And yes - at least twice, two gi-normous Circus-Peanut-Candy-sized bees bumbled sideways into me, somehow unable to resist the gravitational pull I apparently possess.
But, omygosh!!!! The [...]
I am visiting the parents where they retired 4 months ago in Springfield, MO.
Springfield is…interesting. I have never seen so many junk stores, resale shops and on-going home rummage sales in my life. This could be an antiquer’s haven - or perhaps just the biggest pile of junk in the heartland!
They also have [...]
