Merry Christmeme

December 19, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 2 Comments

I saw this fun holiday meme at Terri's and thought I would play along. 1. The Christmas song I can listen to even in June is: Hands down, my favorite Christmas song is 'Oh, Holy Night.' Chills, I tell you! Every time I hear it, no matter what time of the year, I can get … Continue reading Merry Christmeme

Paper chase

December 16, 2011January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 6 Comments

My husband and I are feuding ~ a bloodless, passive-aggressive war of wills. Issuing blame to the person who fired the first salvo would depend on who you ask. Of course, I point the accusing finger at him. I hypothesize that the average male, being able to stand for half of his bathroom duties (I said … Continue reading Paper chase

Sweet like candy

December 7, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 10 Comments

A Christmas theme and date for our wedding seemed appropriate considering that it all began during holiday time. He was confused when I first suggested it. That was until I reminded him of “the incident.” When he stopped laughing, he wholeheartedly agreed. He acted surprised I remembered it, but apparently he did too since his … Continue reading Sweet like candy

Cake by any other name

November 22, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 7 Comments

My son is in his second year at technical school. If you know anything about his educational and/or personal history, you would realize how awesome that truly is. During his first year, he only attended as a part-time student. This year? Full-time... booyah! I digress... At 18, he is by far the youngest student in … Continue reading Cake by any other name

Proceed with caution

November 12, 2011January 7, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 5 Comments

It requires as much caution to tell the truth as to conceal it. ~ Baltasar Gracian I need to write a letter. A letter to someone whom I dearly love. A letter which will undoubtedly cause her pain and sorrow, but it is one I must write. There must be tangible words that she can hold in … Continue reading Proceed with caution

Country wedding

October 30, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 20 Comments

I attended my niece’s wedding this weekend. It was a simple and sweet ceremony uniting two young people who were so obviously smitten with each other. The bride wore white, and pale blue Keds painted with fireflies. She carried a bouquet of yellow paper flowers with coordinating button buds. The groom wore a black tux … Continue reading Country wedding
