Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Here in Connecticut, the so-called ‘Land of Steady Habits’, it seems we may be close to having a budget. We don’t have a budget, but some agreements have been reached, some compromises have been made, some details have been detailed and there might be enough of them for the governor to consider. At least that’s... Continue Reading →
If we were having a beer, well, you’d be having water. “I thought you were going to the bar.” “Not today. I thought I’d sit here with you for a while.” “Thanks. I like sitting out here.” “We know, Maddie, we know.” “Well, it was your idea, you and Faith. You guys built that patio... Continue Reading →
Last week, when I was staying overnight with the boys, I decided to check out a new bar / restaurant in their town. Actually, the place has been open for almost a year, but Faith hasn’t been, and neither has a coworker of mine, who lives nearby. She, the coworker, encouraged me to be the... Continue Reading →
“Um, you do know why you’re here…don’t you?” “Yes, guys, I know. I’m here to feed you. But it’s only 3:30 and you don’t eat until 5:00.” Thus began 19 hours of care-giving. A job at which I think I excelled and for which I’m sure I received a failing grade. Maybe a ‘D’, maybe,... Continue Reading →
Here we are on another Monday when I’m looking at my sixth post in six days. I added a post on Friday for the Cherished Blogfest, and I added a very short one yesterday, to fix a mistake I made with the Cherished Blogfest. On top of that, we had a busy long weekend. I’m... Continue Reading →

As you know, the Cherished Blogfest happened this weekend. One of my jobs was to send an email to the people who participated last year. I... Continue Reading →
Well well well, look who’s coming to beg the voices to take the wheel as your blog goes off a cliff. Well, we’re not ones to look a gift laptop in the keys. Step aside bucco, we got this. It’s a good thing we’re in control. If you ask us...I know, you didn’t ask us,... Continue Reading →
When we traveled to Pittsburgh in May for my mother’s funeral, we also attended services at her church: The Primitive Methodist Church of Carnegie, PA. It’s a tiny church with a small but lively congregation. It was Mother’s Day, and the praises offered by the members of the congregation and echoed by the minister in... Continue Reading →
I realize that it’s been a while since I focused a Thursday Doors post on a single building. I also realize that that building was a church and it was, at least partially, named St. Patrick’s. I was originally planning to use this church for St. Patrick's Day in 2016, but then I got sick... Continue Reading →
