He’s exhausted. And relieved. And probably at least a bit sad.
I know this (or I have a pretty good idea, at least) because in 1996 I worked at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
How I (and many other college students) got the opportunity is a bit of a long story. The short version is my college [...]

In the summer of 2005, shortly after we started dating, Ed surprised me with the one miniature rose that bloomed in his yard. (I didn’t even know he HAD rose bushes.) When I came home yesterday, I photographed these. The roses are actually about the size of a quarter. (The pink rose is a [...]

I was born at 8:20ish on March 17, 1975. That means my husband was almost 21 on that momentous day.
And it means that today I’m 33.
I feel like taking a trip down Memory Lane. Some stops will be birthday related, some not.
This picture was taken in the fall of 1981. I was in first grade. [...]

Today as we were leaving Fort Yargo State Park, I noticed a girl on a park bench. She was wearing a pair of pink Converse hi-tops.
I owned a pair of pink hi-tops in 7th grade. 1988. I’d like to say I got them just for my church youth choir’s production of a musical called “HI-TOPS.” [...]
