PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Back to Schooltime Fall 2009

I've been impatiently awaiting the last of the Back to School photos. Bug your family and friends long enough, and you get them! Now fall can really begin ...

Drew's First Day back to Preschool
Doesn't he just look thrilled?
Actually, it's more like:
Take the picture Mom! I can't see. The glare, it is too much!

My Blondie Girls:
Stella – 4th grade, soon to be 10;
Trudie (on the Right) & Storey, 2nd grade, newly 8 years old.
Mama quote: "Locked, loaded, lunches made and sneakers tied, violin practiced and reading done"

My other Drew's first day of preschool.
His mama says: "He is going three days a week and staying an extra hour each day to each lunch there and learn how to eat with a group of children that are NOT his own siblings."
Drew with the twins, Annie and Izzie, and older sister, Megan

Megan's first day of third grade
Her mama says: "How exactly I become the mother of a 3rd grader is beyond me, but I did!!!!"


Congrats to all my "sisters" for surviving the summer with my oh-so-darling nieces and nephews. YOU MADE IT. Gold stars for you all!
