Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray
Closer to heaven above and Closer to you
Cowboy take me away-The Dixie Chicks
Some days this song from the Dixie Chicks just plays in my head…Cowboy take me away! I teach health education classes as well as work [...]

It’s that time of year for all of us who host our family and friends for Thanksgiving. Making the plans! What will you have to eat, who will be able to come, and what can you do besides eat and watch the ball game? Every year, I keep most of the traditions; turkey, dressing, [...]
Autumn’s Lessons

Sometimes we make our plans and God has another plan. I seemed to jump right into that this week as I went for what I thought, was a visit to see my brother and his new baby. My mother who is 82, ended up in crisis. I’ll spare you the drama story, but she is [...]

Last week was one awful week! I started it teaching a 10 hour class on mental illness. I’m not sure if it was me, the group, or the subject, but the class really bombed. I got a few horrible reviews and that always makes me feel terrible. There were many positive reviews, but I had [...]
Summer Project: Bathroom Remodel

Now that summer is almost over, we look back and remember special moments. Most people remember laying by the beach, vacationing, family barbecue’s. This summers memory for us was remodeling the bathroom. My husband took a week off of work, and we put aside around $1,500 for the project. Work at his job got busy, [...]
