1. What are you reading? Tell us about it! I’m in between books right now. However, I think I’m going to start reading, That Summer, by Sarah Dressen. I’ve been wanting to start reading her books and we just happened to have that one in at the library right now! 2. Library or bookstore? Well since I work at a library, I know all the ends-and-outs of using books for free. 3. What book(s) have you read and re-read several times? I am a huge fan of anything Beverly Cleary. I grew up reading her books and continued the trend…

I’m just not even sure how or where to start with this post. The past few days I’ve been in anticipating Father’s Day rolling around and have been seriously dreading it! It’s not surprising that “Father’s Day” takes on a new definition when your Dad dies. My definition of Father’s Day now includes a tug in my heart knowing that my Dad is no longer just a phone call away. Instead, I’ll get a lump in my throat thinking back to last November and December when he suffered physically and mentally, only because he saw what was going on with…

When my Dad found out he had ALS, he knew he wouldn’t be able to ride his bikes anymore. He told me in one of our conversations that he planned to give Drew his nice mountain bike and Alex could have the smaller bike. He explained that the bike Drew was getting was a really nice bike worth quite a bit of money and would cost quite a bit to keep up.

The Friday before Memorial Day weekend, we loaded up the car, with the best camping gifts for a fun weekend of camping on the lake with the F@rrow Family. Among our essentials, we also brought along this Mini Katana for our camping adventure. Drew and his friend, Joe, who the 2nd eldest child of the F@rrow bunch, got to the lake early afternoon. When we arrived they had all of the tents set up. The big canopy tent for us to use for shade as well as the cooking area. Since we had some of the cooking gear with us,…

Now that we’re in our 2nd full week of summer, I thought I’d better go ahead and post my Summer Goal Bucket List

Life lately is filled with… ~~ Fun at the lake last weekend with friends for Memorial Day. Post coming soon. ~~ Stress! This week has been so stressful. I can’t talk about the details of the stress, because I never know who might be reading this. 🙂 Needless to say, through all the stress of everything I have to do what is right for my career and family, even when it doesn’t make sense to others as to why I would turn down an opportunity. ~~ More relaxed evenings now that the kids are done with school and sports, etc.…

This month I was happy about: the school year winding down. This month I was sad about: empty promises. Something I accomplished this month was: just getting through the month was accomplishment enough.

Today I’m starting a new series that I’d like to do each week called Life Lately. This will be just random tidbits about what is going on in life. There’s always things I’d like to share, but more times than not, it’s not enough to write an entire post on. I thought doing it this way will hopefully encourage me to share those little things that usually get left unsaid. Or sometimes it may have things mentioned that will be an intro into a longer post later.

A few weeks ago, we left work early, checked the kids out of school, and drove up to Atlanta for a night at the Fox. After getting up to Atlanta, we parked and decided to walk around a bit before figuring out where we would eat dinner. We walked by this beautiful church, All Saints Episcopal Church and decided to go inside.

Lately I have been feeling burned out. When I get in that mode, it means I probably need to take a break one way or another. If I can’t physically pick up and go on vacation, I sometimes just take a quick trip on the internet and let my vacation fantasies run free. The other day, while doing that, I decided to make a list of places I want to go during my life time. Here are my top 20 places, I’d like to see someday… (in no particular order)

Remember a few weeks ago, when I wrote about the Wednesday that Rob and I had a free day from work? Well, we ended up taking a day trip up to Birmingham, since Drew was going to be playing in a soccer game that afternoon. We headed up towards Birmingham and ended up stopping for lunch as we were too hungry to wait till we got to B’ham. We txted some good friends who gave us some suggestions. So stopped at Big “B” Bar-B-Q in Alex City.

This month I was happy about: getting to have some free evenings with nothing to do. This month I was sad about: drama going on with part of my family. Something I accomplished this month was: having to go to the ER. *sarcasm*

A few weeks ago, we got given tickets to the Braves game. Our seats were behind homeplate in the players’ family section. Really good seats! Drew couldn’t go because he had a soccer game. Since we had six tickets we invited Rob’s Step Dad, David, his brother, Nick, and Alex brought a friend along. We had a great time even without a win from the Braves.
