Sometimes that’s all you need to gain a little perspective.
And I decided that it would do us all some good. So on Wednesday, I packed up the whole family (well, such as we are, Chris is still in Germany) - Lyle included - left the house and headed off for some relaxation away from the [...]
Top Ten Monday is back! And yes, I’m in a bad mood (keep reading). So my top ten this week are the top ten reasons that I hate summer:
1. The heat.
2. The humidity.
3. School’s out. This means the horrible children on my block (the ones that I refer to as Appalachia) have nothing better to [...]
Yeah, forecast is getting better (be sure and read with proper amount of sarcasm):
Rain showers early mixing with snow showers
later in the day. High 44F. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of precip
60%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
Does the word “April” mean anything to Mother Nature?
It’s Green Thumb Sunday!
And it’s supposed to be spring. But it sure doesn’t feel like it.
It’s chilly and it’s raining. A lot. It certainly is not helping my mood one bit.
Our forecast for today is this:
Periods of rain. The rain will be heavy at
times. High 48F. Winds ENE at 20 to 30 [...]
A few minutes ago, I was sitting in the family room waiting for the clock to hit 9am so that I can make an appointment to take Charlie to the doctor (he has a fever).
I hear very labored breathing coming from the girls’ room. Amy has not been well so I’m thinking I have [...]
This picture of Amy in Pittsburgh makes me smile*, which is good because I need something to make me smile this morning.
Note the expression, the boogers, the melting snow in the background… The hat that doesn’t quite fit (nor the jacket) because Amy insisted on wearing her sister’s clothes. It kind of sums [...]
Punxsutawney Phil predicts an early spring this year! You can watch the video here.
I hail from a little spot on the coast of North Carolina where it rarely snows. School used to be cancelled when the forecast was for flurries. I am not kidding.
I have, over time, become quite the snow pro. I still don’t like to drive in the stuff, but I now look [...]
Hurricane Ophelia has made landfall - and unfortunately, it refuses to budge. While a small storm, it’s slow moving which means that it’s just dumping rain on the folks in North Carolina.
Dad had this to say:
It has been a rough day since early dawn. No sustained hurricane force winds officially reported, but you could [...]
No, not my Katrina. THAT Katrina. Hurricane Katrina.
My thoughts and prayers are with the families in Louisiana and Mississippi following Hurricane Katrina.
I grew up on the coast of North Carolina, so my family and I know what it’s like to live through hurricanes. Big ones, little ones, concurrent ones. We’ve been [...]
