“No, there is no ghost in the woods with a bloody chainsaw that cuts people in half.” “No, that’s not a ghost, it’s just geese fighting on the roof.” “Please don’t milk your (stuffed) puppy, it won’t work the way you think it will.” “Take off on your bike again without asking and I’ll cutContinue reading “my last 24 hours.”

Let me set the scene. A ballroom dance club in what we always thought was the shady side of town. Dimly lit, white Christmas lights outlining the dance floor.

One year ago I was in Kansas City living a out a fantasy in the halls of Hallmark world headquarters while Heather was back in a hospital with Maddie. It wasn’t fair.

I fear it. For several different reasons. The first reason is my vacuum what what my family does with it while I’mContinue reading “goodnight sweet sissy.”

Three weeks gluten free. And you know what? It’s not so bad. I really like to cook. Thankfully I know how to cook. And even better I have had the opportunity to have my new Frigidaire Professional Series Range and Microwave to help me along. When I eat glutenous things now, I get an almostContinue reading “you should cook more often.”

Cody and I sometimes joke that we are parents to an elderly woman in a five year old body. She hates loud noises. She hates candy.
