My sister and I have been on line doing a bit of Christmas shopping…but we seem to have gotten a bit sidetracked…here’s the result!

Who knew? Lol. No, actually, I can see this. My attitude is less than stellar at times and I seem to try all the wrong ways before I try the right ones. […]

This is a fabulous spot by Dove as part of their Real Beauty/Dove Self Esteem Fund campaign. (I don’t know if they are doing this out of legitimate concern for the girls and women of the worldor if they’ve simply stumbled to the fact that it sells their products; but I for one applaud them.) […]

Kudos to Steve, whose blog I ganked this from.

The other day my mother asked me if I was lonely.
Lonely. Hmm. Am I lonely? Well I don’t know. There are a lot of negative connotations that go along with that word. I could go with lonesome; I have some lone about me. Or to coin a new word, loneful– I am full of lone. […]

This past week-end I went to Virginia to visit my sister at her college in the Shenandoah Valley. While there, we took a little trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway, a road made by the park district along the top of the mountains, with many beautiful vistas. Hopefully I will post pictures as soon as […]

Let’s get something straight. I am not one of these people who goes around criticizing and correcting people in public. In fact, I think doing so is damn rude. There was a post on this blog that I have deleted because some personal criticisms were being made in the comment section. (It’s probably a very […]

As someone who has grown up in a part of the nation with many Amish communities, this incident is particularly shocking and painful for me (most Pennsylvanians and Ohioans have a soft spot in their hearts for the Amish). Why young Amish girls? Could anyone be less of a threat to anybody? It’s horrific. I’m […]

Well, I’m moved in. Thanks to my mother, Jane and Ragin, and Randy and Connie– the couple who has taken me in. They all worked surprisingly hard.
My new household consists of Connie and Randy, their daughters Adrian and Emily when they are on breaks from college, Zobida, who lives on the third floor, […]
