I Love My Garden

Garden Roses

I love my garden full of roses; they’re in the front yard and the back yard.  Sometimes its overwhelming because I think I have close to 40 plants (along with everything else I’ve got growing). The thing about roses is that they remind me of my grandfather; as a child, I remember him lovingly tending [...]

I Will Rock This

Now that summer is right around the corner, the weight thing has reared its head again. It’s not that I’m incredibly overweight, but I am NOT the weight I would like to be; the picture in my mind does not match that one in the mirror.  To that end, I have managed to get into [...]

The past few weeks and months have found me scrambling to keep up with everything I’d like to get accomplished.  Life keeps jumping into this mix to scramble things up for me–as it does for everyone I’m sure;  just enough to keep me on my toes, constantly thinking, plotting, planning.

Cancer Cell

This week, I’m hoping to jump back on the bandwagon with the rest of my blogging buddies; the last couple of weeks have been brutal–trying to keep up with everything that’s been going on.
