Daylight Piper Time

Posted on November 6, 2015 By Sister Rain

Fall-ing back an hour is always an adjustment, not just for us parronts, but our feathered friends, too. Piper gets a snack every day at 6 p.m. The time can vary a bit depending on what’s going on, but believe me, he knows when it’s snack time and has no…

Book ‘Em, Danno

Posted on November 5, 2015 By Sister Rain

I always feel like I’m getting away with something when I renew a library book. Where else in life can you extend a deadline with no repercussions or buy yourself some time at no cost to you? That’s right, no unmarked bills in a paper bag exchanged hands, there was…

My Vote For His Stripper Name: Bambi

Posted on November 4, 2015 By Sister Rain

While out running errands yesterday with a friend, I heard myself saying about my husband: “He isn’t going to rehab tonight because he’s working the polls.” My straight-laced, teetotalling husband is not working a 12-step program nor is he collecting dollar bills while wearing 7-inch stilettos.

Maybe She Ain’t Such A Bitch

Posted on October 28, 2015 By Sister Rain

This morning I heard someone who believes wholeheartedly in Karma say that if something is taken away, as it is for everyone in life, at some point or throughout, something replaces it. I was stopped in my tracks by the philosophy and immediately thought about the loss of my mom and the…

Your Nearest Emergency Exit May Be The Moonroof

Posted on October 26, 2015 By Sister Rain

My husband and I got into our car after having breakfast out, and I handed him the ever-present anti-bacterial hand sanitizer. He used it and passed it to me. As I rubbed my hands together, I enjoyed the smell of apples in the car, a perfect compliment to the blue…
