Last night we watched the Lilith Fair documentary on Hulu. It was excellent. It really took me back to a time in my life when I was going through some really tough stuff and Sarah McLachlan may have single handedly got me through a lot of really bad days. I…
two. In late September I got a message from my sister. She had received an email from Senior. That’s one of the names we called my father because some of us could not bring ourselves to call him Dad. We sometimes called him by his initials but since my…
one. When I was nine years old, on a day very near Christmas, my father loaded the last of his belongings into the car and gathered his children to say goodbye. I don’t recall if we stood stairstep in age order but most likely we did as pictures from that…

We live right around the corner from Walmart. Unfortunately we find ourselves there way more than we should be. We don’t particularly love the place; it’s just so darn convenient. Recently however my husband needed to purchase something at Target so bright and early on Saturday morning we ran over…
