Last week my mom called to tell me that the pains my Dad had been having for a while in his leg had something to do with a blocked artery. After many tests and scans they decided to put a stent in one of them to help the blood flow again. However, when my father…
My Father
Every afternoon around 5 p.m. I listened for him. The engine of his gold Chevy truck grumbled as he cut it off and parked it perfectly by the curb. I waited for him to enter the house and delighted in the fact that my Daddy was home, safe with us again. Mom’s delicious supper was baking…
Dad Love
My best memories of my Father while I was growing up include things like him dancing with my mother at weddings, how he made breakfast on Sunday mornings after church and the way he hugged me when he got home from work, telling me – “give me some shouggy” (sugar) – his way of asking…
Neck Ties & Flash Drives, Oh My! {Happy Father’s Day}
The two little kids made Tim some neck tie art while at the nursery during church this morning. I find it kind of funny since Tim rarely wears a neck tie these days. And I’m guessing that he’s not the only Dad that doesn’t frequently sport one anymore. Ties are just so… tight. I wouldn’t…
He’s Home!

Happy Father’s Day!
I used to think about what “kind” of father Tim would be before we had children. I used to wonder how he would react to certain situations or how well he would bond with them. Yes, us women just do things like that. Of course there was never any reason for concern because he’s a…
Unchartered Territory
I recently made my next yearly appointment with my “woman doctor” and since I am a “glass is half full” kind of gal I thought I would look at the bright side of my impending visit. See, I have a favorite part of going to the woman doctor (yes, I know I am freak for…
