That time change came just in time to save my sanity! I’ve enjoyed waking up in the SUNLIGHT for a change! Of course, the trade-off is driving home in the dark every night. But, the leaves have really become so absolutely gorgeous. The kids have been playing outside and we’ve been taking bike rides just [...]

I’m not in the habit of lying….well, until recently. And I’ve told enough lies in the last 6 months to put Pinocchio to shame! But, it was for a good cause. It just got VERY confusing towards the end when I couldn’t keep my lies straight anymore. Which is why you should NEVER LIE! Oh, [...]

Grandma and Grandpa Frantz were here for a visit this week and they recommended we go see “Secretariat” at the theatre. They had already seen it twice and thought a third trip would be just as exciting! So, Friday night after work we headed over to the local cinema to see this wonderful family-friendly movie. [...]

I’ve never understood why everyone doesn’t homeschool their children. I’ve wanted to homeschool my children before I even knew I was going to have children! It was just something I was passionate about the first time I heard a story of the notion. I remember telling Darin about wanting to homeschool when we [...]

It’s like we’ve never left! We’re right back in the groove again. I was late the first day back to work because the battery had died on the van. The blood machine at the clinic wasn’t working properly and delayed labwork I needed before proceeding with surgery. My first case was putting to sleep a [...]

Well, we did it…we came home. I was kicking and screaming (quietly in my heart) and Darin was leaping for joy. He had done his time on the “Rock” and was ready to head back to our little green acres. I was ready to stay there forever in my own little world of denial! Totally [...]

Our last day in paradise…oh my. I just don’t know what to do with all my emotions. It’s hard “vacationing” somewhere that is “home”. If I was at Disneyland or in Hawaii, I probably would have had my fill by now. But, I never tire of Bermuda. Leaving here means so much loss for me…I [...]

We had a nice storm blow in last night. It was absolutely gorgeous sitting on the veranda with the stiff breeze and all the lightening bouncing around up high in the clouds. I honestly don’t recall alot of thunderstorms in Bermuda (memory loss?). Most of the rains we get caught up in are just that…rain [...]

The days are dwindling down and we’re just trying to coast…get a few last things done but basically enjoy the last days of relaxation before returning to reality. Today was the first day of summer and the day with the longest period of daylight. We would have really enjoyed that if it was sunny… We [...]
