Friends « Jayleigh’s Grand Adventures

My friend from High School came into work yesterday with her hubby and 4 kids. We’ve been communicating via email for several months and have talked about some pretty deep things. I was so glad to see her… that this non-huggy-of-non-family-members-woman (me!) was inspired to hug my dear friend!
They were going to visit her dad, [...]

Mary’s Cucumbers

Posted in Amusing, Childhood, Friends on March 28, 2008 | 3 Comments »

I’m sitting here, still reading “Little Women” and the girls are talking about returning visits from their neighbors… and Rob and I, having lived here 14 years barely know our neigbors, let alone “visit” with them.
And it just struck me: I grew up a mile down a gravel road. There were seldom more than 10 [...]

I got an email from a dear friend last night, that would almost lead me to believe that Rob and I “jumped the gun” about something very important to us. The details are not important right now, but this is: what we do when things don’t go our way.
When things don’t go our way, do [...]

I’ve written a few times about the Mag family, whose 19-year-old son had a blood clot in his brain on the day of his graduation openhouse last May, and who’s been completely paralyzed since. His family is completely amazing.

Some time ago, I wrote about some friends, the Mag Family, whose 19-year old suffered a brain injury and is completely paralyzed and cannot even communicate… yet. Well, last night Rob and I packed up our old double bed and drove to their home and exchanged our bed for their red (!) bunk beds. Our [...]

Reading something 100 times does not change its meaning. Thank God.
What do you do when you have prayed at great length for something, only to find that your prayers are on the brink of being answered? Do you keep your “nose to the grindstone” and keep on going and working toward your goal? Do you [...]

All I Need

I have that song Sunday Morning by Maroon 5 going through my head right now. *happy sigh* It IS Sunday Morning. And it’s been a lazy stay-in-bed-listen-to-music morning with my honey. Oooh that man! *grin*
The Meeting
The meeting went well on Thursday. We need to complete 15 hours of training before they will even give us [...]
