So long 2011
Well I can’t really say 2011 has been good to us…..but I can thank God for many of the blessings we have seen along the journey of living with Alzheimer’s. There are many good things that have happened this year, and I am choosing to reflect upon them on this New Years Eve! It is …
Silent Night
When I was a kid my all time favorite Christmas carol was, “Silent Night.” I loved the magic of singing it on Christmas Eve as I carefully lifted my just lit candle during the Christmas Eve candlelight service. But as I grew up, I realized I cherished the “moment”, but had really never “listened” to …
Christmas…….
Ah yes Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus and the celebration of several days off of school for this weary teacher! I must confess that I was pretty darn excited to win 2nd place in the “who can sleep in the longest” family contest on Sunday the day after Christmas. Yep this mom …

The Gift!
SportTman and our Fresh Air Fund kiddo ( who is visiting with us for Christmas this year) anxiously digging into their stockings. What treasures were they expecting and anticipating? Did their gifts live up to their expectations? So a few of my gift giving ideas did not go real well this year. I should have …
It Still Stands!
Here From Friday Fave Five?? Go HERE. Silly me, I left the wrong link. I love this post, but it’s not a Friday Fave Five post. I love the town I live in. There is SO much to love about it! There is this wonderful smelling chocolate factory, that makes a tasty little sensation called …
Friday Fave Five
I am late getting this up this week. Been home “enjoying” the same stomach flu my students have! Ugh! But despite the flu there are always some faves for each week! I made this fudge for the first time the other night, Layered Chocolate Mint Fudge. It was simple, and so good. I have been …
Christmas Tour Open House
Welcome to my home! It’s a wonderful time of the year, and at our house this time of the year we ALWAYS have Christmas music playing and Christmas cookies in the cookie jar! I enjoy decorating for Christmas each year, but I also strive to keep things simple and quite traditional. The decorations that mean …
