i'm married to my first and only husband, Edo, of 32 years. we have 9 children (!), 6 boys, 3 girls, and, yes, i do know about birth control, thank you very much! i'm only on OS to share a little of what i know and to find out what you know, too. when i'm not around for awhile, it's 'cause i've gotten behind in my laundry and can be found folding hundreds of socks, but i'll come out of the dungeon and visit again, promise!

And have a little faith in me

And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try, baby
And have a little faith in me

You've got to admit, there has not been any good music around these days. Pretty much wimpin' out with stale rap, the dead drumbeat of moldy rock, and, what is it with these "freak folk" people anyways?!

Will you dance with me 
Take my hands and lead me, 
With all my faults 
In the ballroom waltz 
That we might have done 
Had we ever been young 

It'll end in tears 
But not for years 
If you dance with me 

Will you dance with me, 
Me, with two le… Read full post »

(Sweet, sweet memories you gave-a me) 
(You can't beat the memories you gave-a me) 

Take one fresh and tender kiss 
Add one stolen night of bliss 
One girl, one boy 
Some grief, some joy 
Memories are made of this 

Don't forget a small moonbe

Around our house, when a child is sick from the "stomach flu", I dispense what is commonly known as the "B.R.A.T." diet. It is a diet of foods that help with the symptoms of this type of illness by providing some elements that tighten loose bowels and shortens the harshness of… Read full post »

 This little blog of kindness goes out to all my OS peoples but especially to the folks that like to rant and rave about all manner of things. You may not realize this, but peace loving folk such as myself actually take offense to these near-hateful blogs. I have really lowRead full post »

The Infamous Zucchini Rises Again, as a Foodie Tuesday Cake!

Peanut Butter & Potato Chip Cookies

There were lots of leftover potato chips from this weekend and the kids had nothing for the lunchbox, so I dug out this old recipe from long ago. I don't remember where it came from, probably the back of a chip bag. In any case,… Read full post »

Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.

September song!

Say do you remember? 

 

 

The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain...

 

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
 
 
These precious days, I'll spend with you, my Edo. I love you!

hold on dear, the law is cast.

 

mother love

she waits on him

holds a prayer

as if a whim

this mother's love will stay for good

put away, destroys the blood.
