A Special Letter
I just wrote a special letter, a letter to my younger daughter, Meghan Lee. I didn’t really have time for this today as I’m under the proverbial gun to finish major school work in time to join a group of friends tomorrow. We’ll see…. The letter had to be written and will be taken to…

It’s a Mom Thing…
Not everybody would get this, but if you’re a mom, I’m fairly certain you will. Everybody knows my Meghan Lee was here for eight days. She’s gone, four days already. It’s harder than I’d have believed. I should be used to it; my daughters live on opposite coasts, I’m in the middle and this is…

Furiously Treading…
Last year about this time, a little later actually, I wrote about doing battle with algebra. This summer I had a great time with my counseling class and am finishing an interesting time with philosophy. Note: ” interesting” is LeeAnn-speak for I’m not going to tell you what I really think. Here’s a hint: in…

Reflections on a summer Sunday morning
It’s been quite a week, filled with the usual ups and downs common to women everywhere – highlights and low-lights and life does go on. Because I’m me, let’s start with a big highlight. My favorite Auntie Arlene, mentioned often in this blog, had a birthday, 92, to be specific. Below you see two photos…

What’s Your Worldview?
You gotta love philosophy – full of questions, wonder and oh, so many words!! My old friend Marlee called me early this morning- time for a catch-up. On our respective phones in front of our respective monitors, we visited the Homestead Website and poked through some old blog posts. From there to the business of…

Happy Anniversary to Me !!!
Yes, indeed, I’m one fortunate woman, sharing my story and my joy with y’all today. Four years ago right about now, a neurosurgeon and his team took a buzz saw to my skull and then a scalpel to my brain. Later he visited me in the night and delivered the news that the tumor they…

Bunnies With No Heads???
Do not be dismayed, this post will give you hope and encouragement, I promise 🙂 As often mentioned in these pages, I’m a traditionalist; I believe tradition is the glue that binds us together. Today I’ll tell a quick story about a mother who used to buy the best solid chocolate Easter bunnies for her…

Another Countdown
I like countdowns; they help me remain organized in the process of leaving on a trip and generally are the source of good memories – preparing for the numerous road trips taken with my girls. I’ve posted others, counting down to leaving on holiday, going to spend time with a daughter for Christmas, memories from…

This isn’t a problem; it’s a feature …
As my dad says, “There you have it,” My title for the day – a statement I heard from an unnamed source. I just love it; in fact, it gets better. The speaker went on to say it was a “feature” strategically placed to help the listeners learn a lesson. I cannot wait to actually…

This, too, shall pass…
A quick google of today’s title finds it defined as a proverb; not a quote from the Bible – you gotta love a phrase that has its own wiki 🙂 It may be based on the oft-repeated phrase, “And it came to pass,” first used in Genesis chapter four and depending on your source and…
