We’re Off

Tomorrow we leave for Atlanta for my Uncle’s funeral. Peanut’s teacher was very understanding of our need to take her out of school. She that we didn’t even need to take any school work with us on the trip. She feels that Peanut can catch up when we return home. Thank God that she’s a [...]

It Is Done

We learned that my Uncle passed away a few hours after being taken off life support today. My cousins (his children) said the fight was too much for him and I can understand that. Machines were keeping him alive and that is not what he wanted, ever. He is Lady Ali’s Godfather, my Uncle, my [...]

Friday Art

Before sickness and Peanut entered our lives Hubby and I went on a romantic weekend get away to St. Augustine. I was about 8 months pregnant, very big but feeling good. We just planned on a quite time away on the water, with some sightseeing and good food. All of that I could still handle. [...]

Far Away

When your family is going through a difficult time and you’re not close by, not even in the same state it can be even more stressful. There’s nothing like a touch, a hug, or a shoulder to let someone cry on. But thank God for technology. We’ve been able to use cell phones (sparingly)and email [...]

I Love NY

When people meet me they think I’m a native Floridian. People who know me for a long time think that I’m either from here or from Ohio, PA, maybe Connecticut, but they never imagine that I was born and lived for 22 years in the Bronx, NY. I’m the kind of person that picks up [...]

Leftovers

I just love leftover turkey, stuffing, stuffed mushrooms, mashed potatoes and of course the desserts from Thanksgiving dinner the day before. It always seems to taste even better the next day. I’m not sure why but it does. So yummy and easy to heat up and clean up too. Peanut and I hit a few [...]

Hungry

I didn’t think I could feel hungry tonight. Not after our Thanksgiving feast where we all left the table with our pants unzipped a little to let our enlarged waists get a bit of relief. Not after I felt like I was rolling around instead of walking. Not after I actually said, “no” to a [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

It’s been a bittersweet day today. We’re still praying for and concerned about my Uncle who is critically ill. I was able to speak to my cousin this morning to get the latest news and not much has changed. He’s now heavily sedated so that he can rest as he’s been fighting to get off [...]

Lovely Photos

Photos of your loved ones can be so comforting. For those that are far from us but are dear to us a photo is a way of staying connected. Many grandparents don’t live close to their grandkids and cherish their memories of time spent with them. Photos of those times are like memories etched in [...]

Please Pray

We just got some unsettling news today. My Uncle from Georgia who has serious heart issues is in critical condition in ICU. He has double pneumonia and has been put on a respirator. Just yesterday he was doing pretty well. He was having difficulty breathing but a C-Pap machine was helping him by getting the [...]

Good and Safe

I love a man in a uniform, even if that uniform is BDU’s. Now don’t tell me you don’t know what BDU’s are! Battle Dress Uniforms that are worn in the military. They make men look awesome. TDU’s are Tactical Dress Uniforms and they are used for First Responders. They look yummy too. I learned [...]

The Five Things Meme Overdone

This is from my good blogging pal Linda: The Five Things Meme Found in My Room (I’m in our home office now or as we call it the eBay monster)… 1. Candy wrappers – yes I just ate some more leftover Halloween candy. I had to eat something to take my meds you know. 2. [...]
