Facebook & Spite; The Ex (High School) Boyfriend's Wife

At the core, I suppose I'm the same person I was then, but my attitude and ideals have shi… Read full post »
Father's Day special repost; A Walk in Dad's Shoes- London
My father left behind a wealth of photos from his days as a US Air Force photographer during WWII. I've always loved going through them; they are a window into days long past otherwise unreachable to me. Some of the photos are of him,

Three generations. 100+ years.

Dear Dad, I'm coming to see you in WWII. Part 1
My father was a reconnaissance photographer for the Air Force in Europe during WWII. I have boxes and boxes of photos, negatives, letters and documents, through which I started digging with the idea to post a few photos for the Memorial Day weekend.

Provocation & response; unsolicited advice for peace of mind

Which opinions matter to you, and from who?
Can you dismiss provocative or simply nasty comments directed at you without emotional turmoil? Do ALL opinions matter to you? This is a very important quest… Read full post »

I've disappeared into the abyss...
No, I haven't flounced off, I've merely descended in to the abyss of our basement. Our little house is overflowing with little ones with no room to play, so I've begun the rather disconcerting task of clearing out the basement - as a prelude to turning it into finished usable… Read full post »
