Happy Independence Day! I hope you have great plans for today. At my house, we are having a fish fry. We have had a few successful fishing trips so we will get to enjoy some very tasty catfish and crappie. We are also having onion rings, hush puppies, and French fries. It’s oh so wonderful!…
DetailsIt’s not very often that I find myself struggling to get things done. Few things come close to the satisfaction I feel with accomplishing things and crossing them off my list.

DetailsI have had a very busy week, last week. Getting ready to be gone from my day job for 2 weeks means I have to work extra hard to make sure that I don’t leave work for my coworkers to do. I have to make all of my deadlines that are in the next…
DetailsFive and a half years ago, I married the man of my dreams. Like me, he had a child living at home. His son was a couple of years older than my daughter, and had already started college. Of course, it took some time for us to get to know each other, and I admit…
