Never could I have ever imagined when I was younger, that I would at some point be counting the days until summer was over. Summer was ALWAYS my season. We were on the beach by the end of March or early April (maybe in not so warm conditions, but we were there) and perfectly tanned […]
I had already decided which old post I was going to re-post for Finish the Sentence Friday’s “Share an Old Post” when I came across this status in my Facebook memories from 8 (gulp) years ago and decided (being that it is so timely) I would share the post related to the “college” status instead. […]
I always loved this photo of DC. I love the floppy hat, the bench on the beach and other than my eyebrows, I love everything about this picture. DC was a year old and his father and I, in all of our infinite wisdom decided to fly to Savannah GA and Jekyll Island. DC had […]
Like clockwork on August first, DC started talking about the last day of camp, which I discovered last year really meant that he THINKS the last day of camp marks the end of summer and in his mind the air conditioners will be coming out. Until last summer when he must have heard someone at […]
Four years ago this weekend, we made the ‘Trek’ to Baltimore to attend Shore Leave…… yes, everyone puts up with me and my Star Trek obsession. The previous October, we made it to New York Comic-Con. I was nervous – it was so crowded, but the hope of meeting Felicia Day, kept DC pretty much […]
A couple of weeks ago on the 4th, my neighbors decided to blow off “cannons” right under our window………It went on for hours. Now, DC really does not mind fireworks when he is expecting them. It’s the fireworks that begin two weeks before and continue on for a month after the 4th that bother […]
Yesterday was the first day of summer camp for DC and Salli. DC has talked about nothing else since I told him he would be going on Thursdays and Fridays for the summer. I did not tell him too early because……. enough said. He was excited, to say the least. Not only would he be […]
I have read and shared a couple of pieces just this week (here and here) about a subject that many people just do not seem to understand. Our Kids Are People. One might think that this would be something that should not have to be explained, but believe it or not, it is. Praising your […]
DC has been out of school since 2012. He walked with his class at the high school in 2010 and then moved on to the school system’s Transition Program for the two years between 18 and 21 (“school age” in this area is age 3 to 21 for SPED students). The tiny boy with the […]
Once again I am using my “Other Blog” format over here on this site. It’s Mother’s Day, so I can do what I want. Right? Silent coffee. That is all I wanted today. I am sure we all have that dream. I tried. I really did, but as in all of these other attempts; I […]
