Do they have an app for that?

July 12, 2012January 7, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 5 Comments

I have a horrible memory. It doesn't matter if I try to remember events from my childhood, or high school, even college or two weeks ago. What I think I remember may not be an actual memory. I might be remembering family stories or making up my own from old photos. When I was very … Continue reading Do they have an app for that?

St. Michael’s

July 7, 2012June 27, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 13 Comments

I had all these wonderful plans for Saturday. First I had a lovely lunch with my girl crush Angie, then set out for my weekly photo hike. I even packed a change of clothes and shoes to make the slog thru the Florida heat and humidity (lung-collapsing since the rains have held off) more comfortable. … Continue reading St. Michael’s

Uplifting

He lay on his side, one leg bent and the other straight out to balance his body. She rubbed her hands together to warm them before touching bare skin. Bracing her thighs against the table edge, she ran her fingertips along the stiff ridge until she found the right spot. Then, she pulled... hard. Her … Continue reading Uplifting

An Anniversary of some significance

June 14, 2012January 7, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 9 Comments

Today is my 26th wedding anniversary. About two weeks ago, the Mister and I also marked the anniversary of our first date. We don't agree on when that actually was. I say it was June 3, 1983. He insists it was June 1. At this point, it doesn't really matter, except for claiming 'I'm right' … Continue reading An Anniversary of some significance

Sleepless nights

May 30, 2012January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 24 Comments

It's been a while since I've had a baby in my house, but I remember the seemingly endless nights of near terminal sleep deprivation. The crying and wailing, kicking and screaming, and the babies were really loud too. I remember getting, maybe, two hours of undisturbed sleep. Of not being able to truly relax, listening … Continue reading Sleepless nights

Greetings from Florida

May 29, 2012September 5, 2017 ~ Tara R. ~ 10 Comments

The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 to November 30. To date, two named storms - Alberto and Beryl - have already formed off the U.S. east coast. My family has lived along the Gulf Coast of Florida since 1995. Our late summer arrival was neatly tucked between Hurricane Erin and Hurricane Opal, both … Continue reading Greetings from Florida
