It’s Thanksgiving week here in the United States and of course I’m thankful for my husband, kids, kitty cat, job and health. And on and on. Truly! I don’t think, however, that I’ve expressed how thankful I am for this blog. The past few weeks and months have been great fun for me as a [Read More]

Do You Know What Whore Is?
Sydney, 5, and I were at the park. It was unseasonably warm here in Michigan and we were playing outside. “Do you know what ‘whore’ is?” she asked me. Uh…. What? Uh…. Did she just say “whore”?

An Experienced Bad Halloween-er?
I found a compatriot in my neighborhood. I don’t know his name. I don’t even know in which house he lives. All I know is that he has a sense of humor.
