I’m not a person who believes in signs or any such divine communication. However, there are times when things happen, things that some might call pure coinicidence, which seem beyond the realm of chance. For instance, the area code here is 828; the prefix, i.e. the first three digits in a phone number, where we […]

Friends of our’s from birthing class, Molly and Jarod, contacted us a week or so ago and asked if we’d like to get together. While it is certainly flattering to receive such an invitation, it’s kind of sad that we’re leaving soon. Anyway, they suggested we go for a hike. With the ladies both having […]

This is something I wrote several months ago which I thought was worth putting up here.
Ok, this is going to start off a little wierd…
A couple of weeks ago, I was at work and I needed to go to the bathroom (the type that takes a few minutes). I prefer to use the handicapped stall […]

About a week ago, I was goofing around with the Magpie, saying silly things to her using a silly voice. Suddenly, she giggled!! I almost couldn’t believe it. I kept doing it and, yes, it was true, she actually did laugh. Erin could hear it from an another room. At first, Maggie wouldn’t respond to […]

I have been appropriately reprimanded and realize the errors of my ways.
I read something the other day which said it is just plain rude to not respond back to someone when they offer a comment on something you said on your blog. I must admit, that seems right to me. Obviously, I might not comment […]
