Well, its been a long time since I’ve posted much. And since I’ve promised to post photos (just click on them to enlarge) of my trip, I figured I’d better do it before the season has passed.
About a week and a half ago, we took the boys to my hometown. But instead of staying locally, [...]

While I was putting all those family photo albums back on shelves, I came across my own baby photos. I can’t have been more than two… Although my mother reports that my two boys are WAY more active (a nice way to say “They’re nuts. I’m glad I had girls.”), it does look like I [...]

As of this past Sunday, I have been married twelve years! *Gasp*
Didn’t I just finish college a few years ago?
Wait, no, there’s also those advanced degrees I hold….

That means we’ve eaten out quite a bit. My four-year-old (self named DahDoo) has always had an interesting take on words and phrases….

A big shout out to Blue Host!!!
I’ve spent the last two days puzzling out why this site and another site required all of you to hit that refresh button so often. It was really annoying, so I’ll name names. Turns out it was our hosting site, HostGator and the even slower site was being hosted [...]

Can you remember that first book that turned you on to reading? The one that made you defy your parent’s call “lights out” with a flashlight under the covers?
For me, it was a box set of six mystery books by Wylly Folk St. John including The Secrets of Hidden Creek. I can still [...]

I thought I was interviewing another writing, blogging Wiffer, but it turns out Robin is not yet an active member on the boards. How’d we ‘meet’? We’re not exactly sure, but it was either through Pam or Caryn. Come on over to the Will Write for Wine boards, Robin.
1) Where [...]
