Hangover

Cherrie | December 28, 2007

I haven’t had alcohol in almost 25 years and I am beat! I got up this morning with a headache, grogginess and all the symptoms of a great time that I hardly would have remembered. Yesterday was awesome! I turned a year older, blessed with yet another year that I’m not supposed to be here. [...]

Happy Birthday to Me

Cherrie | December 27, 2007

Yes! Today is my birthday! So far so good. I was visited by my brother and sister in law who flew in from VA just to see me! (Okay, maybe to see the rest of the family too.) Then I purchased a hamster. She’s a female Russian dwarf who I have fondly named “TheDiva”. Apparently [...]

The New Opie

Cherrie | December 26, 2007

My daughter has a boyfriend. Okay, she says he’s NOT her boyfriend, but back in my day a “non-boyfriend” didn’t talk on the phone until 4 in the morning, bring you teddybears and worry about your mom’s health.

Wunderlust

Cherrie | December 26, 2007

Two days before my birthday. (Wow! 4 and a half decades!). I’ve had some time off to think, to reflect, to relax and rest. I was able to see my children and grandchildren come together. I have had an interesting week. I wish my mother was here to see me now — all grown up [...]
