I’ve Got The Music In Me

Posted by Julie at May 31, 2006 6:00 am

Last week, I mentioned Tommy Shaw of the rock group, Styx, which believe it or not, is still together and still rocking, albeit without Dennis DeYoung and the Panozzo brothers (one died, the other retired) and mostly, without Shaw, though he pops back in from time to time. In the new incarnation, I like their [...]

Twenty Years…

Posted by Leslie at May 29, 2006 6:00 am

I have a major wedding anniversary coming up in about six weeks–my twentieth. I find it pretty wonderful that I’ve now been married to a man I still adore for almost half my life. But I do find it hard to fathom sometimes…twenty years? How can I have been married twenty years when I’m only…when [...]

Just For Fun . . .

Posted by Janelle at May 25, 2006 6:00 am

I guess I’m odd woman out this week. While Leslie, Carly, and Julie have written about graduation, the maturity of teenagers, and reminisced about their high school years, I thought I’d veer off course and do something fun and different. If you were stranded on a deserted island for a year with just the shoes [...]

High School Musical

Posted by Julie at May 24, 2006 6:00 am

Okay, this really isn’t about that Disney movie, but it is about high school. Leslie’s daughter’s graduation made me think about my own high school years. Back then, I don’t ever remember worrying about what activities I was involved in the way kids are now–as a means to get into college. Which college I got [...]

Two Parter

PLOTMONKEYS THINK ALIKE (part one) It’s interesting. I wrote this post all on my own, then I decided to peek at Leslie’s before inputting mine for Tuesday. What did I find? We’re on the same wavelength. How this can happen when we a) live miles and miles; states and states apart; b) we both had [...]

Leslie Asks Why…

Posted by Leslie at May 22, 2006 6:00 am

Okay, I’m writing this in the brief hour of free time I have between all the graduation excitement going on at my house this weekend. My oldest daughter graduates (actually, by the time you read this, she will have graduated: whimper!) from high school Saturday. I can’t believe it, my silly, sweet little girl is [...]
