My Brother Jon

I don't know what else to do, so I'm writing this.  My brother Jon is sick again.  He came into this world early, underweight.  At a few weeks old, he stopped breathing.  The doctors told my mom it could happen again, any time.  She didn't sleep much that year.  At 10, he started losing weight.  The doctors didn't know why.  At first they thought he had leukemia but discovered he had Type 1 diabetes.  In the fifth grade, Jon was instructed by the nurses how to give himself the daily shots of insulin he'd need every day for the rest of his life.   Read more >

Quakers and Truth

I've been learning about Quakers.  Up until recently, my knowledge of them has been limited to the fact that I like their oatmeal and they seem like quiet, humble people.  The other night, looking for some light reading, I picked up the book "A Quaker Book of Wisdom," by Robert Lawrence Smith.  (He comes from a long line of Quakers - original, not offshoot).  It was a gift given long ago (can't remember by whom, probably my mother-in-law), so I picked it up on a whim.  Read more >

It's Catalog Season Again

Once again, the catalogs are coming fast and steady.  It must be the holidays.  Why do I get them when I almost never buy anything?  Who knows, but they come anyway.  The retailers are definitely not getting their money's worth from me this year seeing as how my budget is that I don't have one. I found myself inspired to write about some of the bizarre things I came across in the Harriet Carter catalog. I hope, I hope I get that microwave bacon caddy!  Read more >

Remembering My Grandmother

Last night I returned home from a road trip to Arizona with my mom and sisters, Jenny and Kathy.  We made the trip in a large pickup truck (Jenny drove), to my grandmother's memorial, with a side trip to pick up an antique secretary cabinet and various mementos of my grandma's.  Read more >

About Me: 
Sorta new to blogging.  I've been a court reporter for 20 years and about 6 months ago decided to start a website with my husband (art director and web designer).  Our site is dedicated to promoting story time between parents/caregivers and their children.  We started writing our own stories, and we also have some classics; projects; reviews; and so forth.  I started a blog on the site and pretty much write about anything and everything, as well as give site updates and "Behind the Story."

My challenge is to keep my blog entertaining but yet clean (since we are a family site).  I must resist my impulses to engage my potty mouth, but I'm getting used to it.

Hope one day people will read it besides my sister.  (Sigh.)
