Frozen Chocolate Pie

It’s the little things that count. And this one particular little thing I love and am known for loving is Frozen Chocolate Pie. My Grandma Rouse made pies for us ahead of time so when we arrived at her Bolivar, Tennessee, home she was prepared…as prepared as a grandma could […]

One Of Those Calls

There is a reason I have different ring and text tones for my kids and Keith. Today I heard “You’ll be in my heart…” So one thing is certain: it’s Tiffany calling. What she has to say is the uncertain thing. For sure she rings the most out of my […]

The Twisty Stairs: Un-Necessary

Have you ever gone up to the loft without using the steps was the question of the Labor Day weekend–apparently. Even though I never even heard it so much as spoken. Oh, maybe because I was digging kitty litter type Lubbock sand out of the garbage disposal with my bare […]

The Send–Off

Now that I know they are headed home I can title this just the send off. Pretty sure it would be the sad send off had it been written a year ago. Who am I kidding. It was a horrible day. I remember one of the toughest of my parenting! […]

No Party No Open House Just FOGO

And the graduation day continues…we celebrate differently depending on the one at the center of such celebration. Cole likes steak. He can eat lots of it. Lots! FOGO De Chao was the perfect place to celebrate. And it was pretty close to the stadium I might add. Closer than our […]

Caleigh’s Fish Tale

I hate Tuesday folders. Yep, hate. It’s too much information in such a small package and on a terrible and usually much too busy to deal with that much stuff kind of day! But on a rare occasion I run across one of these gems. It’s Caleigh’s first writing. Well, […]

Twenty

Happy 20th Birthday Tiffany! I cannot believe I was the first to wish you for real happies and since it was the only picture I had available for this quick post I put that screen shot you sent me on the cover!!! Technically on July 11, 1992 at 8:47 am […]

Yep, this brought me to tears!

Kevin packed up his books last night and he looked so happy gathering them all up, stacking them in order, and I’ll admit I was first so happy too because he found his entire home set of books in one fail sweep! Then it all hit me silently but the […]

The Pitching Machine

 Kevin is throwing curve balls! He has been working on them for a while now, and they finally made it across the plate noticeably at last night’s game.  One of the moms noticed his bloody knee and said he was just like that Red Sox pitcher who was pitching and […]
