Flip-Flops In A Blizzard

Posted on May 11, 2017May 12, 2017 By Sister Rain

Growing up thirty miles from Philadelphia, with everyone in my family born and raised there, spending time downtown shopping with my mom, sightseeing, visiting my nana, the City of Brotherly Love is not only woven throughout my childhood memories and my own adult traditions, it is part of my DNA….

Posted on May 9, 2017May 10, 2017 By Sister Rain

It took a few days but Piper has returned to one of his favorite perching spots after the addition of a Fitbit to both of our lives. I never know what is going to spook my feisty little man. I have worn a brace on this left wrist for recurring…

Posted on May 4, 2017May 5, 2017 By Sister Rain

You know you had better slow down when you’re so ridiculously focused on getting through your To Do List that you leave your house to walk your neighborhood without putting on a bra. Dear Neighborhood Watch: I hope you weren’t, you know, watching. Sister Rain

Signing For Our Lives

Posted on May 3, 2017 By Sister Rain

I like to joke that even when I had no vision at all, much to my husband’s dismay, I could still sign a credit card receipt. Although I do have some sight, I cannot see what I am writing. I always had extremely good printing and friends say I still…

It’s The Bitty Things

Posted on May 1, 2017 By Sister Rain

A few weeks ago I posted “The 411 On 426”, where I shared that I was thinking of getting a Fitbit. I did order one and it is now strapped to my left wrist. To review, within a four-year span, I lost my mom, my vision, my father-in-law and my husband…
