    2019-12-11 An Infestation of Peanut Butter Christmas Mice

    Why? Because Baby it’s cold out there and the mice have scrambled around looking for nooks to squeeze into the house, under the foundation, cracks between brick and wood and drywall and now!?.. Now they are in the walls and scurrying above our heads in the rafters and finding places to huddle together and nest…

    2019-12-10 Miss GingerSnap Speaks Her Mind

    This might end up making me sound like a person with a multiple personality disorder but I was inspired to “try on” some different cookies by my friend Michelle. So from now until Christmas (or the end of the year), I’m going to be a different cookie every day. Yay!!! 😃 *** Yesterday I had…

    2019-12-03 Celebrating Success!

    Somehow another month has slipped by. Somehow we’ve slid past the first of the fall/winter holidays and miraculously glossed right past the milestone that signified 2 months until the day of marriage vows. That was yesterday and I’m sure I could do a whole post about all of that, but it’s not what I’m aiming…

    Where are we at today? Ah yes, in writers workshop where my poetry is being critiqued by an eclectic group of undergrad students.

    It feels like time is moving too fast. At the same time the minutes and hours of every day seem to creep by. I’m keeping a close eye on the calendar and have a growing list of things to do. Most of it has something to do with one of three main topics.. wedding planning…

    2019-11-22 A Love Letter for Today

    A Love Letter for Today   My words are a love letter. To love is a verb which doesn’t always mean the same thing as it did the day before. The bible says that it is patient and kind but i find more often than not, it can also be lonely and wanting and hopeful…

    2019-11-11 Sort, Organize, File.. Repeat

    First things first, tipping my hat today as a loyal numbers nerd. It’s eleven eleven. That’s got to mean today is going to be a great day, doesn’t it?… Yes!! There were a lot of things that happened on Saturday. As I said yesterday, it was too much and too overwhelming to write about. Like…

    2019-11-10 Not the Conclusion I Had in Mind

    Friday I wrote about my latest assignment— to do something uncharacteristic and uncomfortable and then write about the experience. Well, folks, yesterday I definitely did that. The day was an extremely long one which started at about 6am. I planned to give a “talk” at barcamp omaha and doing any sort of public speaking is…
