I am absolutely amazed that people have more than one Yahoo! profile. I have one – it works for 360, it works for… Continue reading 360! Again
Last Friday and Saturday brought the first road trip of the 2008 year. My 20 year old daughter attends Niagara University. While university is on break, winter sports continue with little break. Some students don’t even get home for the holiday due to distance. She is a huge hockey fan, as am I, so we… Continue reading Road Trip #1 for 2008

It seemed like I was spinning wheels going nowhere until we left for her college’s hockey game. As I read yesterday’s entry from SBB, I noticed that she gives us first definitions. These… Continue reading Gratitude and Dress Rehearsals

The first real cold snap is hitting upstate NY right now. It actually started last night. You could feel it. So, when I had to crawl outside this morning to get child #5 to physical therapy by 7 am, it was 1F. Thankfully, the car was parked in such a manner that I didn’t get… Continue reading Baby, It’s Cold Outside …
I don’t believe I have ever really thought about what questions may be feared in my life that are holding me back. I know that I do like to have all the answers before I jump headfirst into something. In reading about living the questions, it makes me realize that every year, I don’t have… Continue reading January 2 – Live the Questions

Anyway, during hockey, I did a quick menu plan for now through the fourteenth of January. 1/1 – Boneless, Skinless chicken in Vidalia Onion vinagrette 1/2 –… Continue reading Menus for January
