One Year of Obamacare: A Review
We were a little late getting signed up for Obamacare when it launched, so this month marks our one year anniversary--one full year of being insured! I know that "anecdotes don't equal data." I also know that UNBIASED data I've read on the success of Obamacare has...
Twitter Tips: Increasing Engagement on the Cheap
I haven't been blogging much lately because (among many other reasons) I got sucked down a social media rabbit hole trying to "fix" Twitter. I've been on Twitter since about 2009. I downloaded an archive of all my tweets the other day and it was like looking at a...
Sunday Snippets
I'm back for the first time in awhile with Sunday Snippets, RAnn's delightful gathering of Catholic bloggers around the web. Like many of you, I'm sure, I've spent a lot of time tweeting this week, sharing #whywemarch posts, rather than writing, but I did manage to...
Book Review: Patience of a Saint
It might seem a bit odd to review a book that was published almost 30 years ago and that I've read many times before. But having recently re-read Patience of a Saint by Father Andrew Greeley, who died in 2013, I wanted to talk about him and his writing. In 1987 I...
First Signs of Spring
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "A Moment in Time." Today's prompt suggested that I write about the last picture I took. I should probably do this every day as it would give me an endless supply of stories. I took this picture yesterday afternoon,...
The Year in Review: Your Favorites, My Favorites
I'm shamelessly stealing this idea from another blog. I'm going to share the year's five most popular posts (according the the stats provided by WordPress), and then I'm going to share five of my personal favorites (difficult to do because, frankly, I am a fan of my...
12 in 2014: A Year in Pictures
So, I'm linking up with Dwija at House Unseen, Life Unscripted and posting one picture for each month of 2014. I did this last year, but this year it seemed much harder to choose. I've taken an insane amount of pictures this year, for one thing. And then I had to...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
I fell off the NaBloPoMo wagon in a big way, even failing to participate in my usual linkups. So I missed Sunday Snippets last week, and will make up for it by listing two weeks' worth of posts this week. Sunday Snippets is a gathering of Catholic bloggers sharing...
My Sunday Photo: Narnia
My big kids all attended Knoxville Catholic High School, and when I showed Emily this photo, which I took a couple of weeks ago while Lorelei and I were walking on the trails near the school after morning Mass at All Saints, she recognized "Narnia" immediately. You'd...
Stanton Cemetery: An Unexpected Reward
So you chose to walk around Mead's Quarry and took the Tharp Trace Trail starting at the harder end. Don't feel bad because you are going to come upon a nice place to slow down and catch your breath not far from the end of the trail. Stanton Cemetery is now...
A Quiet Walk at the Quarry
I have walked the trails at Mead's Quarry once before and I probably won't again, unless I REALLY feel the need to take someone there. Y'all, that Tharp Trace Trail is JUST THAT HARD. That's one of the reasons Emily and I waited until October to tackle this set of...
One Cemetery, Two Names
I love Ball Camp Pike. Maybe someday I will write a post in its honor. It's a beautiful road, with a rich history and something interesting to see around every bend. Like this cemetery. You can call it Murray Cemetery (its official name, according to KGIS) or May...
Online Find of the Day: Schoola
So today one of my Facebook friends posted a link to an online store called Schoola. The link promised $15 in free gently-used kids' clothes. I've been shopping consignment since before it was mainstream, so buying things used is natural to me. And it has suddenly...
Brave New World: Gender Selection
I haven't tackled a topic like this in a while. But, y'all, I can't write about pretty graveyards and fall hikes all the time. Today I read this story about an Australian woman who traveled to the United States to undergo in vitro fertilization and pre-implantation...
Taking up My Pen Again . . .
Three years ago, when our house burned down, I lost an important part of my identity. Now, this was a part that had been dying out for awhile, but the fire ended it definitively. Along with being the person with a lot of books, I was also a letter-writer. I've...
Forks of the River: My Favorite Trails
Bear with me, y'all because there are going to be a LOT of pictures in this post. Emily and I have walked on the Forks of the River trails five times, because there is a lot of territory to cover and also because we didn't plan very well for the task of completing all...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
I'm linking up with RAnn of This, That, and the Other Thing for Sunday Snippets, that weekly famous gathering of Catholic Bloggers sharing their week's posts. This week there is no question of the week to answer (and yes, RAnn, I DO miss it!) so it's straight on to...
My Sunday Photo: Enchanted Forest
Whenever I go walking in the woods, I find myself taking pictures of paths. This was taken after my daughter and I emerged from a VERY long walk in the woods. Often what I see with my eyes doesn't appear in my pictures, but this time I think you all will be able to...
Byrd's Chapel Old and New
Perhaps you've wondered how I choose which cemeteries to visit and write about. There isn't just one answer. Sometimes I choose one that I've driven by many times and have always wanted to visit. Sometimes lately I ask my phone for advice on the nearest cemetery!...
The Living and the Dead: Writing about Graveyards
My post on Rocky Hill Baptist Cemetery upset someone yesterday. I am tender-hearted and wouldn't ever want to hurt someone's feelings. I took down the pictures of the grave of that person's loved one, and I made some clarifications on the original post. But since I...
Rocky Hill Baptist Cemetery: Appearances Are Deceiving
This is the first thing I noticed when I parked my car at Rocky Hill Baptist Cemetery. I couldn't decide whether it was the church attempting to disown the cemetery or the folks who run the cemetery disowning the church. For sure, it's an emphatic sign. And I...
We Are Still Homeschooling
I haven't written a post on homeschooling in a while, probably because I'm too busy doing it to write about it--or about anything. Last time I homeschooled, John worked in an office and had a full-time staff. This time, the office is the house and the staff is me....
Get Out There And VOTE!
Tomorrow is Election Day! If you are like most people you either 1) already voted early or 2) aren't planning to vote at all. Yes, that's right, not even half of the people who are eligible bother to vote in midterm elections. Not me, y'all. I'll be voting...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
Hello, and welcome to Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival. We are a group of Catholic bloggers who gather weekly at This, That, and the Other Thing to share our best posts with each other. Question of the week: Who is your favorite saint? Hard, hard question! But...
My Sunday Photo: Graveyard Path
This is my favorite graveyard photo from last weekend, taken at a cemetery I just happened to pass on Saturday morning while running Lorelei around. I was so interested I came back later to explore. And I will post more about it later. This picture combines three...
It's That Time of Year . . .
Yes, I will be publishing SOMETHING every day during the month of November, and since even I can't visit that many cemeteries, you can count on some variety, if you like that kind of thing. Today, though, I spent time exploring May (or Murray) Cemetery on Ball Camp...
What's in a Name? A Visit to Mount Pleasant Baptist Church Cemetery
Mount Pleasant Baptist Church Cemetery isn't exactly off the beaten track. It's right next to the church of the same name, not far from Kingston Pike on Lyon's View, just down the street from Cherokee Country Club. You've probably driven by it hundreds of times,...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
Maybe I should say Monday Snippets since I'm only just now getting around to writing it, but that doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it? Anyway, it's a weekly linkup of a group of Catholic bloggers hosted by RAnn, and even though lately my content is more...
A Churchyard Without a Church: Branch Hill Cemetery
As I did last week, I asked Siri for advice on a nearby cemetery to visit, and she directed me to Branch Hill, just off the Pellissippi Parkway in the Solway community. In fact, this graveyard shares a parking lot with Solway Park (a place I've heard is a bit...
Walking in South Knoxville: Another One Bites the Dust
Y'all, I'm getting so excited! Emily and I finished another section of Urban Wilderness Trails last weekend. We look to be on track to get our badges before the end of the year. And really, we will have walked way more than 40 miles, since walking all of them...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
It's been a lovely day and a busy Sunday which is not over yet, but I'm taking a few moments to link up with RAnn for Sunday snippets, a weekly gathering of Catholic bloggers sharing their week's posts. Question of the Week: Have you ever tried the Liturgy of the...
My Sunday Photo – Autumn in the Graveyard
Anyone who reads my blog knows I love graveyards, and there's no time like autumn for walking in them. As the year dies, it seems natural to think about our own mortality. And the beauty of the dying leaves reminds us of the glory our faith tells us lies beyond the...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
Finally, a week in which I can participate in Sunday Snippets, a weekly linkup of Catholic bloggers hosted by RAnn, and actually have several posts to share! First, though, this week's question: Question of the Week: Share a family sacramental memory--the cute thing...
Fall in the Garden
Summer may be over but you couldn't tell it by looking at my garden. For all my lack of planning, it's still blooming happily. On the cool side, we have Autumn Joy Sedum: Gaura: Chrysanthemums (which I divided last year--they did great!), verbena (needs dividing and...
My Sunday Photo – Roads Go Ever On
This isn't my best picture of the week but to me it captures the feeling of a certain kind of wet fall day as well as the spirit of mystery and adventure that comes from driving random country roads, just for fun.
Silent Sunday
The Mystery of Lebanon Cemetery
It's a great title but I'm hoping that just because Google cannot tell me much about the graveyard I visited this afternoon it doesn't mean that my local readers won't be able to share some of its history with me. I would never have found Lebanon Cemetery at all if it...
Walking in South Knoxville: In the Homestretch
If you've been following along, you'll know that Emily and I have set a goal of walking all forty miles of the trails in the South Knoxville Urban Wilderness. Then we plan to walk the main trail, twelve miles, all in one day. Rain stopped is from walking this...
Low Carb Pumpkin Sausage Soup
It's fall, so it's time for pumpkins! However, those of us who are doing low carb must forswear pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin bars, pumpkin cookies. So sad for us! Luckily, pumpkin lends itself well to savory dishes as well. The following recipe,...
Beneath the Ashes
“The fire which seems extinguished often slumbers beneath the ashes.” ― Pierre Corneille I've been debating all day whether to write this or not . . . but I'm still thinking about it so I guess I will go ahead. I came across a blog post today in which the author...
It's Good to Be Insured: An Obamacare Update
I have been uninsured most of my adult life. Even when our kids qualified for TennCare, even when for a brief happy time we were able to insure John via TennCare Standard thanks to his existing medical conditions, unless I qualified via pregnancy, we could not afford...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
Good Sunday evening and welcome to Sunday Snippets, a weekly linkup hosted by RAnn in which Catholic bloggers answer a weekly question and share their posts. Y'all, if you haven't been reading me for long I promise I really do qualify as a "Catholic blogger." For...
Book Review: The Relationship Project
It's been awhile since I've done an Off the Shelf book review for Beacon Hill Press. Today I am happy to be sharing The Relationship Project by Bill Strom with you. As always, my views are my own, and the only compensation I received was the book itself! When this...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
I'm linking up with This That and the Other Thing for Sunday Snippets, a weekly round up for Catholic Bloggers. This week's question: Name and link to two Catholic blogs you really enjoy. If the bloggers don't participate in Sunday Snippets, invite them to join us! I...
Walking in West Knoxville: The Jean Teague Greenway
A couple of weekend ago, Emily and I got a late start on Saturday morning. And there are times when South Knoxville feels far far away. Plus walking in the Urban Wilderness can take you deep into the woods, with no quick way to get back into civilization. In short,...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
It's Sunday and time to link up with RAnn of This, That, and the Other Thing for Sunday Snippets. This is a great opportunity for you to find some new Catholic Bloggers and to catch up with what I've posted this week. Question of the week: What is your favorite...
Low Carb Love Affair
A few weeks ago I shared the story of my lifetime of dieting, and I promised to write about the healthy changes I've made. Since this morning I visited the wellness nurse and can now report I have lost 45 lbs. since taking charge of my health at the end of March, it...
Homeschooling Fringe Benefits
When I told everyone I wanted to homeschool Lorelei this year, they said, "How will you possibly find the time to do that?" See, even though I am at home, I am not strictly what the internet calls a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom), terminology which implies that I don't work....
Short West Knoxville Walks
I spend a lot of time promoting South Knoxville trails on this blog, and rightly so, since South Knoxville to most Knoxvillians is the Undiscovered Country. But the fact is, it isn't the only place to walk in town. And it's a good thing, because I am exiled to...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
I'm linking up again with This That and the Other Thing for Sunday Snippets, a weekly roundup of Catholic bloggers. Question of the week: With which ministries/activities within your parish are you involved? I don't like this question! Once upon a time I could have...
Five Favorite Cities
It's time again for Five Favorites, which is now a traveling linkup, hosted this week by Mary at Atelier. Today I'm going to write about five of my favorite cities. Now I'm no world traveler or anything, so don't expect anything obscure or unusual! 1. Mobile,...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
Linking up with This and That for the weekly roundup of Catholic bloggers. Not much to round up for me this week though I am afraid . . . Question of the week: What is your favorite hymn or song you hear at Mass? What a question! Anyone who has been reading this...
Five Favorite Saints
So for my Five Favorites today, I would like to share five of my favorite saints! 1. Saint Peter Peter is absolutely my favorite saint. He's so endearing. I find myself shaking my head and smiling when listening to his exploits at Mass. So enthusiastic. So...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
Hello and welcome to Sunday Snippets, hosted by RAnn, in which a gathering of Catholic bloggers answer a weekly question and share the week's posts. It's a great way for you to find new blogs to read, and also to catch up on what I've posted this week if you missed...
Forty Years of Yo-Yo Dieting
I've been promising for awhile that I would write about the way I've been eating lately. I've already shared with you the positive effects on my health and my weight. I haven't sat down to write before now because it feels important to start at the beginning, and...
Five Random Favorites
This is a pretty random list of favorite things that are on my mind this morning, so that I can link up with Mama Knows, Honeychild! 1. This popcorn popper So we have lots of people in this house who are popcorn-crazy (also just crazy, but we won't post about...
Tennessee Volunteers
Although it is in fact ALMOST football time in Tennessee, I am not talking about THOSE Volunteers! No, I am talking about the ones that appeared in my garden this summer. Last year I planted zinnias for the first time ever. I didn't know anything about them, and I...
Answer Me This #18
It's Sunday so it must be time for . . . 1. What is your favorite picture book? Oh, what a hard question! I don't really have one favorite, so I will just name the first favorite to come to mind: The Runaway Bunny, which I like even better than Goodnight Moon, a...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
Welcome to my Sunday Snippets post, and thanks to RAnn for hosting and for inviting me to the linkup!Question of the week: Introduce yourself. Some of us have been participating for a long time; others are relative newcomers. Take a minute and briefly tell us about...
More on Our Journey to Health, Brought to You by ObamaCare
It's been a couple of months since my last update, and things have been happening (and also some things have not been happening, as you will see!). When I updated you last, I was complaining about the bureaucratic elements (mess) involved in Obamacare, AKA The...
Answer Me This #16
It's Answer Me This time again!1. What do you still want to do this summer?With school starting tomorrow here (yes, I know that is ridiculous), summer is effectively over for us. Before the end of summer by the actual calendar, I'd like to take the kids to Dollywood,...
Homeschooling Update: Reading
Did you think I'd given up writing about my home-made homeschool curriculum? Think again! It's just that I've been busy actually DOING homeschooling, as school began last week. And so far it is going pretty well. Today I want to write on our Reading curriculum. I...
Five Favorites: Books That Change Lives
I'm a day late, but hopefully not a dollar short, to Five Favorites, hosted by Mama Knows, Honeychild. Let's talk books today. I don't know how I would go about making a list of my five favorite books ever, so instead I will call this Five Favorite Books that have...
What We're Reading Wednesday: The What-I-SHOULD-Be-Reading Edition
Participating in What We're Reading Wednesday has shown me how boring I am. Every week the other contributors post reviews of intellectual or inspirational reads, and I just keep on reading the same old stuff. Which is why I skipped last week, because I figured...
Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival
Many thanks to RAnn of This That and the Other Thing who invited me to link up with Sunday Snippets! This hasn't been my most prolific week because of 1) William going back to school and 2) Lorelei starting homeschool. Here's what I've shared: I started off the week...
Answer Me This #17
And now for the weekly Answer Me This! 1. What is your favorite room in the house? I love my bedroom. It is a sanctuary for me. It is almost always clean and neat compared to the rest of the house. It is cool and attractive and quiet and most of the time no one...
Fort Dickerson Quarry: Another Hidden South Knoxville Gem
Yesterday morning, before embarking on our usual Saturday walk, Emily and I did something different: we engaged in a little community service. Along with some other folks, we spent an hour picking up trash at Fort Dickerson Quarry. This cleanup is a monthly...
Five Favorite Marriage Tips
Because today is Tuesday (Five Favorites day) AND it's our 25th wedding anniversary, it seems like the thing to do is to post five marriage tips. Because 25 years qualifies me as an EXPERT, y'all. 1. Never ask "whether," only ask "how." This one comes straight from...
Wing to Wing, Oar to Oar
Twenty-five years ago today, which would have been a Thursday night, John and friends were having a bachelor party (and the less said about that the better!) while my friends and I celebrated more sedately at the family home of one of my bridesmaids. We were married...
Walking in South Knoxville: Ross Marble Natural Area
Emily and I have made significant headway towards our goal of hiking all 40 miles of the South Knoxville Urban Wilderness trails. Last weekend we did around four miles during our second visit to the Ross Marble Natural Area. As you walk the trails here, through woods...
Five Homeschooling Favorites
Just a quick Five Favorites post today because 1) I'm late and 2) I've got too much to do today! I've got homeschooling on the brain these days, what with school starting (UGH!) on Monday, so today I'll share five favorite things about homeschooling. Not necessarily...
I Was, in Fact, an English Major . . .
. . . so it stands to reason that I would be excited about teaching Lorelei English this year. And I'm especially excited about this: This book is sort of vintage and sort of not. What do I mean? Well, it's a reprint of a book that was published in 1962. I would...
No Textbook, No Problem
I can't remember, way back when I decided to homeschool Jake for 4th grade, how I came up with my social studies curriculum. But it's a simple one, and we don't use a textbook. The theme of the year is States and Presidents. Lorelei will learn all 50 states and...
Answer Me This #15
The last days of summer are flying by, and it's already time for another Answer Me This! 1. When driving, are you more likely to listen to the radio, to CDs or an iPod, or nothing at all? Nothing at all is my first choice. I don't get nearly enough silence, as you...
A Dying Art
That would be penmanship, but it's going to be a daily subject in our homeschool this year. [Update: This dream died halfway through the first year, I am ashamed to say.] In my eight years of Catholic grade school, we had handwriting practice EVERY SINGLE DAY. Yes,...
Math IS Fun
See, I think I misspoke (miswrote?) when I titled my last homeschooling post Math Doesn't Have to Be Fun. It was catchy, which is a good quality for a title, but I probably should have said something like Math Books Don't Need to Be Fun. Because I happen to believe...
What We're Reading Wednesday: More of the Same
I'm a day late to the party, and it wasn't because I was busy reading. I only wish. I told you last week that I was reading this for book club: I started this the night before our meeting, and it's almost 500 pages, so I couldn't pay as close attention as I should...
Five Favorite Low-Carb Things To Eat
Y'all, I used to scoff at low carb. But now I'm a believer. I've lost weight but more important I reversed those pesky numbers which were inching up into critical territory. I love to eat, and that hasn't stopped. So herewith I share with you five favorite low carb...
Math Doesn’t Have to Be Fun
Have you looked at your kid's math book lately? Besides being outrageously large and heavy, you'll find that's it's colorful and has photographs on almost every page! Also little boxes with things like "fun math facts" in them. It makes my head swim to look in...
Do-It-Yourself Homeschooling: Spelling
Since school time seems to be rushing ever closer and there's nothing I can do to stop that, I thought I might get myself in the mood for homeschooling Lorelei (and get my head on straight before we get started) by writing some posts about the curriculum we are going...
Answer Me This #14
It's Answer Me This time! 1. What’s your favorite thing on YouTube? I love to look up old Sesame Street and Electric Company clips from my childhood and show them to my kids. Also old commercials. Here's one favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWMAYFNIAco 2....
Not Your Parents' Rhythm Method
I'm late to the party, but thought I should do my bit to promote NFP Awareness Week. If you aren't Catholic (and in a sad commentary on . . . lots of things, maybe even if you are) you may have no idea what NFP even is. The doctor I went to see right after I was...
What We're Reading Wednesday: Book Club Edition
This was originally posted as part of a weekly linkup several years ago. But I still belong to the book club! So I belong to a book club and it's pretty awesome. For one thing, it's located right next door, so the fact that drinking wine is a large part of the...
Family Ties
We were away for the weekend on a mini-vacation--one that was full of family, even though we left almost half of our own family at home to fend for themselves. (Can you guess which half?) On Thursday, we left home relatively early and made our way up to Winchester,...
Five Favorites: Just for Me
Linking up again this week with Mama Knows, Honeychile to tell you my latest five favorite things. A while back I decided that I needed to spend some time just on me, doing things that I wanted or needed to do or simply enjoyed doing. You know how it is, all wrapped...
Homeschooling Win!
I'm not sure I've mentioned to y'all that I plan to homeschool Lorelei next year. She's going to be in fourth grade, and I've done that before, so I already have a lot of resources, and I've slowly been gathering others over the last several months. There was one...
Answer Me This #13
Are you ready for another installment of Answer Me This, hosted by Kendra at Catholic All Year? 1. What’s something you've won and how did you win it? Oh, gosh, y'all, I have won so many things. I'm kind of lucky like that it you believe in that sort of thing. When I...
What We're Reading Wednesday: Guilty Pleasures
It's Wednesday so that means it's time for What We're Reading Wednesday with Housewifespice. Do you indulge in "guilty pleasure" reading? I know I do. Sometimes I wonder why we call it that--I mean, are there really rules about what we should be reading? SHOULD...
Five Favorite Quotations
It's Tuesday and that means it's time for Five Favorites, hosted by Mama Knows, Honeychild. Today, I'm going to share five favorite quotations. Not necessarily my five most favorite, mind you, because I'm not sure if I even know. But just five that have stayed with...
Answer Me This #12
It's time again for Answer Me This, the brainchild of Kendra at Catholic All Year. 1. How did you get your name? I am named for my mother's sister, Mary Leslie. There's a street here in Knoxville called Leslie Avenue, and I believe that was what gave my grandmother...
My First "Foreign" Cemetery
This cemetery post is a little different, because it's not a Knoxville cemetery we are talking about. Teddy's friends thought he was kidding when he told them that my favorite site on the tour he gave me when I visited him at school was the graveyard at the gates,...
Now It's Your Turn!
Y'all, I really need a little help here. I participated in an education focus group earlier this week, and I've been asked to get some input from YOU on the follow-up questions I'm going to post below. I know I have a lot of silent readers here (HELLO!), but this...
Walking in South Knoxville: Anderson School Trails
I'm going to call this particular section of the Urban Wilderness the Anderson School Trails, because the official designation of "Private Land Easement" isn't useful in locating these charming trails geographically. The privacy, however, is part of the charm--it's...
Modern Conveniences
Y'all, a couple of months ago I got a new dishwasher after having lived for almost three years with one that was . . . temperamental . . . at best. Like things would stay in there for load after load because they just would not come clean, and there was always grit...
What We're Reading Wednesday
I'm linking up with Housewifespice for What We're Reading Wednesday! Maybe I should call it What I'M Reading Wednesday because I don't know what else anyone else is reading. John usually has about five books going at once. Emily reads about a book a day. She visits...
Five Favorite Poems
It's that time of the week! I'm linking up again with Heather of Mama Knows, Honeychild to bring you five of my favorites. This week I'm sharing five of my favorite poems, which may be intensely boring to many (most?) of you, but I'm an English major so you are just...
Island Home Baptist Church Cemetery
Since I've been spending so much time in South Knoxville lately, it made sense to make a stop at Island Home Baptist Church Cemetery. The church and cemetery were established in 1860, although this is not the original church building. Many South Knoxvillians of...
Answer Me This #11
It's time for Answer Me This, courtesy of Catholic All Year! 1. Have you ever walked out of a movie? No, but I BEGGED John to walk out of Spaceballs, which I thought was incredibly stupid. He wouldn't. 2. What do you most often use for blogs and blogging: desktop,...
The Saddest Words
Hi, y'all, and welcome to the final day (saving the best for last and all that!) if the If Only Blog Tour. In my capacity as an Off The Shelf Blogger for Beacon Hill Press, I've been given the opportunity to read If Only: Letting Go of Regret by Michelle Van Loon....
Five Favorite Restaurants
Linking up with Heather at Mama Knows, Honey Child today with my third Five Favorites post! Oh, wait a minute . . . those are the WRONG five favorites! Today I am writing about my five favorite restaurants. Now, I don't mean the five best restaurants I've ever been...
