“He Gets Me”
The fact that my husband "gets" me has always been one of my favorite things about him. And considering that my sense of humor sometimes produces blank stares and/or courtesy laughs when unleashed on the general public, that means a lot. Yesterday was our thirteenth wedding anniversary.

Making Family Memories on the Water
I've mentioned our pre-millenial vehicles before. Have I mentioned our boat? Because it's almost pre-me. As in . . . our boat is a whole two years younger than I am. (And I'm 38.) A boat (that boat, actually) is a huge part of my husband's memories with his dad. He loves to fish, and there's never any question that his favorite fishing … [Read more...]

Thanks to Discount Cleaning Products for sponsoring this series! Well . . . Not sure how to write a progress report for this past week. How about: Nony struggles to keep her work area neat.
