Our Car Broke Down…

My daughter, Lisa, and I went to take our dogs to the dog groomer the other day and we had 5 dogs in the car (between my dogs and Kim‘s). We dropped them off and were on our way to do a little bit of shopping and run some errands. We got 5 minutes down the street and my car broke down…it said – Shut Engine Off Immediately! Apparently, I have a problem with an oil pressure valve or something like that. Thank goodness it didn’t happen before Do you enjoy [ ... ]

Fall Weddings are so Beautiful – Get a Great Wedding Dress

I just love fall weddings… The leaves are changing, it’s sunny, but cool and everything starts to bring us together as families – with Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner.

Coaching Your Kids’ Teams!

My daughter wrote a post about Well Equipped Teams Looking Intimidating on one of their blogs, ChampionshipCircle.com … …and I know why… When my husband and I coached one of her softball teams when she was a tween, unlike previous or later coaches, we made sure the girls were decked out! They were the St. Catharines Crystals! They had a choice of 4 uniforms, 2 colors of jackets, bags, 3 cool embroidered hats, cool socks and stirrups and anything else we could get our hands on.

Mother Seeks Father of Baby – Long Shot

My daughter showed me this video today. So many thoughts go through your head watching this video… I wanted to post this video because every child deserves a mother and a father – it took 2 to make this child.

She’s willing to tell the world what happened and is willing to sacrfice her pride for the love of her child. If you have any information about this situation, email [ ... ]

The Neighbors are Feeding Me!

As my arm has been hurting for these last few weeks, I suppose it’s been apparent that I haven’t been outside to harvest much of my beautiful vegetable garden. In turn, each of my closest neighbors has been coming over to the fence when they see me to give me oodles of their veggie garden goodies. My newest neighbors brought me a whole slew of fresh cucumbers, as they have much too many to eat themselves. They are so crisp, refreshing and wonderful – especially just with a little salt and pepper on them, [ ... ]
