A few of you have reached out to see where I have been hiding for the past six weeks since purchasing our home. As you may have guessed, I’ve been DIYing all day, everyday. Despite all the aches and pains from the physical labor, which I actually thrive on, I have been having a blast…
my thoughts about life
Our prayers have been answered…
It’s official! After renting our home for the past six and a half years, we were able to buy it from our landlord and the deal closed last week. Since the moment we moved in I said, ” I hope we can buy this house someday.” The landlord never mentioned a rent to sell proposition…
And then we had a flood…
The day after my last depressing post about how the Goff family was really struggling this happened while Lou and I were eating dinner on Friday night. Me: “Lou what is that sound?” Lou: “I don’t know.” Me: “It sounds like water.” I jump up from the table and head towards the whooshing sound coming…
Today Tiara would be 22…
Today is supposed to be Tiara’s 22nd birthday. I can’t believe her last birthday celebration was six years ago. She was so happy as we sang to her and she snuck her fingers into the frosting, thinking I didn’t notice. Birthdays and the day she passed are always the hardest followed by Christmas and Thanksgiving….
Since turning 51 all this has happened…
As I mentioned last week, I was preparing to celebrate my 51st birthday with plans of being polite Tiffani, not rude Tiffani. I did it, I did it! I was nice all day even when I opened my presents. Apparently when I opened Trinity’s present I said: ” Wow, I actually love these glasses!” Tabitha:…
It’s my birthday and I’m not easy to deal with on this day…
Well today I am fifty-one and my goal is to be nice to my family and not controlling on my birthday. Lofty goals… You may not know this about me but I’m very difficult about my birthday. When you ask me “what I want,” I say nothing. When you ask me ” can we go…

My youngest daughter, Trinity just graduated from high school and was initially going to work in the car business with her Dad. Because of Covid his dealership laid off lots of people and she realized she needed to figure out another job for herself until the world eventually returns to “normal”. After struggling to find…
How cool is my new mask?
Whether you agree or not I always wear a mask in any public place I enter. I do not wear a mask on my walks through the neighborhood but for everyone else I wear them inside. I’m sure like many of you, my mask style has evolved over the past several months. I obtained our…
To my future grandchild… life during COVID 19
Because I’m sure that at some point in your life your Mom or Dad will talk about Covid 19, the coronavirus, social distancing or how in 2020 the world changed, I wanted to write you a letter explaining how I feel during this pandemic. I started writing this post on April 9, 2020, and rain…
Isolation isn’t new to me…
As the whole world is freaking out about being isolated at home, I have returned to a place I once knew well. Isolation, being stuck at home, living in a hospital, not being able to attend functions because your child and her behaviors aren’t welcome or not being able to leave the house because you…
