so I’m guessing all of my faithful reading are wanting to know about the events of homecoming day. You got it! (sorry it’s taken me so long, but I have to admit it’s been great detaching from the computer and phone this past week) So, a week ago today my husband came home after 239…

I have anxiety. No, I’ve never been diagnosed and am not taking any medications. Well, except for wine. I find that a suitable medication. But, no nothing real. My pride says I don’t need to see a doctor, and so does my logical thinking. Is it even something worth going to a doctor for? I…
Love getting mail? I do! It’s so much fun to get a regular snail-mail letter, especially when it’s a surprise. Packages? EVEN BETTER!!! I shop through Amazon a lot, and even though I know what I’ve ordered I still get excited to see my package come in the mail. Occasionally I get random packages from…
