There aren’t many times that I find myself at a loss for words. I’m a talker. I talk. A lot. Except when I’m upset — then I hardly talk at all, can’t string words together into coherent sentences. On Friday, I couldn’t come up any words that seemed fitting for so many beautiful children whose […]

This whole week, we’ve been having the foggiest mornings I can recall. The air is thick with tiny water particles, clogging my eyes as soon as I step outside my door.

Although days of  Thanksgiving had been observed since the pilgrims, Lincoln established the first annual Thanksgiving holiday. It took place in November 1863, only four months after the battle at Gettysburg cut short roughly […]

For months, I’d been waiting for sweater weather. For boots and scarves weather. I’d even blogged about it because I was so, so excited when it was finally time to pull my boots on. Today is gray and raw looking, and while 55 degrees sounds perfectly balmy in some states at this time of the […]
