Grrrr...ever have one of those days where you hear the lyrics to a country song and you SO understand! I'm so frustrated by being nickeled and dimed to death by all the parties that had a hand in this kitchen. I guess this is where folks get in divorce settlements too. The whatever!

Do what it takes to be happy with your history. And secondly, be responsible today for the history you are creating. ~ Mary Anne Radmacher My friend Mary Ann is so wise. She knows we can't change the past and she also knows we are in charge of the future that stands before all of us today. It is in... Sign in to see full entry.

My husband and I enjoyed a local Sushi joint in town tonight. It's in the same location as the former place we used to frequent. New name, ne owners, same great food!

My emotions are as mixed as a summer fruit salad. During this trying economic time, I have had two very big dreams come into the light of day to become a reality. What do you do when you want to share your joy and yet also don’t want to offend anyone who is struggling with their here and now? I... Sign in to see full entry.

Not a person who owns a lake house, I assure you!
