The day started out a bit slow. Elise and I couldn’t leave home until the two school-aged boys had gotten on the bus. Of course, due to the lovely spring weather in Binghamton, they had a two hour school delay. It was rather icy out from the look out all windows in the house and… Continue reading Road Trip Day One
I know you are all probably thinking I am nuts. March is almost over, as I was reminded this morning by my mother who was wondering if March came in like a lion or a lamb as it is looking like it is going out like a lion. This month Sarah Ban Breathnach is discussing… Continue reading Simple Abundance – March 2008
My college-aged daughter and I are heading on a road trip. Yes, the trip is set to satisfy both of our college hockey fanaticism. We may even get some shopping in on Saturday. Tomorrow morning, in what is suppose to be snow so very appropriate for hockey weather, my daughter and I will head to… Continue reading Road Trip Coming!!
This is truly a reprise of a post from many years ago on my Yahoo! 360 blog. Unfortunately, I don’t want to go through all of those posts to find this so it will be a new post about the same topic. Most people believe that Christmas is the pivotal holiday in the Christian year. … Continue reading Holy Week

This means that this March 31st marks the 119th anniversary of its dedication. In honor… Continue reading The Eiffel Tower
I am, in case you haven’t surmised it yet, a WVU Mountaineer through and through. I spent three years in Morgantown on the main and Evansdale campuses and love my college sports. It doesn’t matter if the Mountaineers are winning or losing – although I admit, I prefer when they win – I watch and… Continue reading The Out of WV Mountaineer Fan
I went into my room last night to go to sleep but couldn’t manage to get to sleep so I turned on the television. I was just flipping right through the channels when I hit MSG. Normally, I only stop here if there is hockey on but tonight it was MAAC basketball from the Arena… Continue reading MAAC Basketball
I got a phone call, a totally unexpected one, from my 21 year old daughter last night. I was in my room getting ready to settle in and wait for the new episode of “Brothers and Sisters” when she called. She is currently a junior at Niagara University. Until she left for college three years… Continue reading Another Purple Eagle to NHL
I admit I don’t get “into” Valentine’s day much. It is the celebration of a martyr – St. Valentine. It is also the day when flowers and good chocolate are extremely overpriced. I did buy each of the three kids who were here this morning a small heart with chocolate in it. I also sent the… Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day!
