HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY, DOROTHEA HOPE SMITH! Our mom, Dorothea Hope Smith, died in 1998 just a month short of what would have been her 77th birthday.

I joined the YMCA this week and plan to visit it at least three times a week all winter and spring, until I can go biking regularly again. The first time I went, I walked a mile and swam for almost an hour. Yesterday when I went, I went to the core training

As if baby mollies weren’t enough, this morning I found baby plecos in my aquarium! There’s heckuva lot of baby-making going on in my tank! I must be doing something right! The baby plecos don’t need to be put into the baby mollies “nursery tank,” luckily. The baby plecos are big enough to

I have baby fish in my aquarium this morning! I counted 20 but there are probably more. I’m pretty sure they’re balloon mollies because some of them are multicolored, but they’re so tiny I won’t be sure until they’re a little bigger. I am soooo excited! I took some pictures but because the water is

I’m getting five yards of “ugly gravel” for my goat shed today. Found a great deal on it nearby with King’s Gravel and Hauling. Here’s their business card if you’re in the area and need what they offer. They have attractive river rock, too… Every day it’s decent out for the next week or so,
I bought a Christmas candle a couple days ago, but I couldn’t wait ’til Christmas to light it. It smells very “evergreen tree” in here now! I’m in the holiday spirit waaaaayyyy early this year. It isn’t even Thanksgiving yet! I need to remember to send out my holiday newsletter right after Thanksgiving.

I cried this morning thinking of my mother. My sisters (Laurel and Jackie) and I are planning a 100th Birthday Celebration for Mom which will take place on Saturday, November 27th (three days after her official centennial). As you know if you’ve been following this blog, I’ve already written my funniest and most poignant memories

My new wind chimes came in last night. I love ’em! I put them on the back of my home just outside my office den so I can hear them when the wind blows even if my windows are closed. On a very windy day I’ll need to bring them in, though. They’d
