It is a typical Sunday evening in my home as I write these words. As usual you again find me with my laptop, yes…on my lap. I am sitting cross legged on the sofa, glasses perched on the end of my nose, and I am cruising through my favorite social media sites. My son has […]
The dream, the vision, the place, the time. I remember as a young girl having the dream of attending college. I didn’t have a vision of what the course of study would be, or what the classroom experience would be like, or a hope of what the social experience would be. What I did have…was […]
Isn’t this just the loveliest face? Yes, it is true, this is my baby girl…all grown up…so she tells me. She is now 21 years old, is a junior in college, works part time on campus, runs an online business (here’s your plug CJ…www.toinvite.com), and…oh yeah…has a boyfriend (aka social life).

So soon? Where did the time go? I remember so clearly when we brought home this amazing little baby……This is where I stop myself. Now, I can certainly do the predictable and slip into the typical, “what a wonderful experience to watch you learn to walk…blah…blah…blah”, and believe me when I say that I am […]
