December 2022 Much of December was a blur.  We attended multiple Christmas gatherings, picked up my daughter’s belongings from college, found out my dog needs surgery for a torn ACL, and juggled our normal responsibilities with work, family, and household chores. Even with all that was going on I somehow managed to read more books […]

November 2022 Most of November was pretty average.  We did go to my daughter’s college to see her senior recital about midway through the month.  The last week of the month things got a little crazy with Thanksgiving, my birthday, and my daughter coming home from college for the holiday.  We had some cold weather […]

October 2022 October was a much quieter month which is exactly what we needed after the whirlwind that was September.  We spent a lot of time at home, worked on a couple of puzzles, and spoiled the dogs.  I got a lot of reading time in during the month which makes me feel like I […]

September 2022 September was a month that I will never forget.  Things were hectic and somewhat crazy in the weeks leading up to the wedding.  For much of the month, I just wanted the wedding to start so I could quit working and just sit back and try to have a good time.  My daughter […]

August 2022 August was good.  Sometimes busy and sometimes quiet but good.  We hosted my daughter’s bridal shower at the beginning of the month.  After a week of frantic packing, my younger daughter returned to college and we returned to having an empty nest.  We also had some low-key weeks that were mainly spent at […]

July 2022 July was a whirlwind.  I expect this to continue until my daughter’s wedding in September.  We got more things in order for the wedding and bought dresses.  I think that we have most of the key pieces in place but there are still a lot of details to deal with.   On top of […]

June 2022 June was quite the month.   Covid hit our house and I ended up being its first victim.  I was sick for about a week with my husband being ill the next week.  My daughter somehow avoided getting sick so that is a good thing.  We have wanted to get a new backsplash in […]

May 2022 May was kind of busy.  My daughter came home from college during the first part of the month.  We love having her home but it does take some time to adjust to having another person in the house.  We bought a truck even though we really were not looking for a vehicle.  We […]

April 2022 This year really seems to be flying by, doesn’t it?  April was a good month.  I took a week off work and just hung around the house reading.  I can’t think of a better way to spend a nice relaxing week.  We celebrated Easter and went to my daughter’s college recital.  I spent […]
