About six years ago, my brother committed suicide. He did it in a very public way.
On Wednesday, I posted a reply on a thread of comments about the photo we ran in the second installment of the Fatal Funnel project we're doing. The gist of my comment was basically, you'll better understand the...

My sister-in-law drove our two families from Omaha to the small farm town of Fremont, Neb., population 25,000.

Hello All,
My baby walked through the door with his chest stuck out and very proud of himself. His confidence was bigger than his head (and that is pretty big let me tell you). :-))

The last two weeks of my life have been extremely busy with work and college. There has been very little “me” time of which I tend to crave and also an overall guilty feeling because my husband and I have not spent any time with the grandkids. Yesterday afternoon, my...

As one opens the door to our freezer, our cat, Hallie May, comes jogging with her “grapefruit” size tummy pendulously swinging from side to side. Hallie May is on a restricted diet of dry cat food only, but she requests that her nuggets be served to her frozen. She...

As you can see from the pic on my blog, I have a GREAT reason for going from full-time teacher to full-time mom. Isn't he the cutest thing? I LOVE the time I have to be with my son, but this change in my life has made it imperative that I keep up to date with current events and ANY...
