Did you know that I was an English Major? I was. In college. Graduate school, too. It seems like that might have been hundreds of years ago. . . This morning I thought maybe I’d be able to smell the lilacs in my yard even though they’re not open yet. The lilac trees are set [...]

After all of the years that Mr. Social Media and I have been together, we seem to have come to an understanding regarding what can become a very touchy subject in a relationship. We have been married for 12 and a half years and together nearly 20 years (half my LIFE!) but not even the [...]

As for me and mine, I am so glad to say, there is not much of a story to tell. Here at my place we escaped the Storm of the Century without so much as a moment in the darkness. The lights flickered briefly on Monday evening but never went off. Mr. Social Media and [...]
