Listen To Your Mother

By on May 16, 2013 in accomplished, besties, camera & photography, family, good times, nerdy apple/cop's wife, peanut, the detective

Saturday was the first (of hopefully many) Listen To Your Mother events in Kansas City. I cannot tell you what a pleasure it was to be a participant. I read this piece (which I’m sure you’re all familiar with by now.) But it was the first time I’d READ the piece. Out loud. For others [...]

Autumn

By on November 10, 2012 in boo/bubba, family, peanut, pics i love, shorties, squirt/slim

I love autumn in Missouri. Crisp air, brilliant leaves, warm sweaters.                     My shorties love it too. Peanut has an October birthday. Halloween. Fireplace lit.                     Days are shorter. Nights are longer. More time to cuddle. Snuggling [...]

Happy Last Day of School

Pictures Gone Awry

By on May 15, 2012 in boo/bubba, camera & photography, peanut, squirt/slim

I do not understand school pictures. They used to just do the same old same old every fall. You bought them regardless of how ridiculous you looked. And that was it. Now they offer multiple backgrounds and poses for the fall that are still basically what you remember. But in the spring, they go KA-RAZY! [...]

What I Did For Spring Break

By on March 16, 2012 in arts & entertainment, boo/bubba, food & beverage, good times, nerdy apple/cop's wife, oh the places we go, peanut, shorties, sports & leisure, squirt/slim

The shorties and I headed out to St. Louis for a few days to visit my mom, Granny. The Arch there indicates St. Louis. I’m clever like that. Squirt called it ‘The Hump’ all weekend. Continuing on with my mother’s love of all things funerary, she took us on a driving tour of Bellefontaine Cemetery. [...]
