…I’d twitter on a Tuesday. Okay, so, I have a twitter. But, I haven’t twittered…tweeted…twatted. But, it’s been a not-having-heaploads-to-say sort of day, so if I blogged in tweets, this is what it might look like today, without that 140 character restraint. My son’s dedication to practicing the french horn as his second instrument [...] After a 4 month hiatus on posting these, I bring back my series of Letters to Lisa. This is the 9th letter posted and now that I’ve taken a break to help ease my family into the grieving process after losing my mother-in-law, I think I’m ready to dive in, post a few more [...] He gave me a big, wide-toothed grin as he grabbed the quilt, hopped on the couch and rested his head on my lap.
