Apologies In Advance

Posted on July 21, 2015 By Sister Rain

I have been tired and out of sorts the last two days. I tried to write a post yesterday, but the serious one I started just wasn’t coming together.  Due to the mood I was/am in, funny wasn’t happening either. Because I can’t let it alone, I have to try…

Posted on July 13, 2015 By Sister Rain

People think that when you don’t work outside the home, that your life is one perpetual weekend. When I worked, I thought the same thing. You know what I’ve discovered? It’s absolutely true! Here’s the catch. It’s not the going-to-the-beach or to-the-ski-slopes (season dependent) or long-drive-with-the-top-down weekend. It’s the cleaning…

Blog-Ready

Posted on July 9, 2015 By Sister Rain

Posted on July 8, 2015 By Sister Rain

When my mom passed away three years ago, I brought home all her photographs. I didn’t have a chance to look at them before my vision loss a few months later. Now that I have my CC TV Magnifier, I have begun to go through them. Amid the many photos…
