High Strung Musings: April 2013
http://highstrungmusings.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 2, 2013. Pieces of joy…. I guess after re-reading my last blog I have decided it was truly a downer. Thank you for your messages of support and encouragement. It is not fun. I am only a few months into a process that can take quite a bit of time. There is no “by the book” process either. We are all different. For that matter, I will forever be different. A piece of my heart is gone. This weekend was not one I was particularly looking forward to. Friday – I stayed in bed. We watched some ba...

High Strung Musings: November 2012
http://highstrungmusings.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 30, 2012. I don’t want this to be a long, drawn-out rehashing of what our family went through Thanksgiving Week but I do want to record the highs and lows and the special memories that took place as we said ‘goodbye’ to our wonderful Dad. Today marks one week since we said "goodbye" and my last blog detailed the decision to bring Dad home on Hospice care. It was the best decision. Almost immediately, he became less agitated. He seemed to rest more. Turns out, Jesus had other plans. We tr...

High Strung Musings: July 2012
http://highstrungmusings.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 31, 2012. The Menu from Marble Falls. Onion Rings - Double Horn Brewery, Marble Falls. I don't have a pic of our breakfast endeavor. Super Taco. At the Shell station. Yep. It's a restaurant at a gas station and it is THE BEST breakfast taco you will ever eat. Due to some slow service, we were there for about 2 hours. Eating. Catching up. Cracking up. Peaches for Mom and Pops. Did you catch that I said we left room for dessert? Links to this post. Sunday, July 29, 2012. Hubby I took off Frid...

High Strung Musings: October 2013
http://highstrungmusings.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 30, 2013. The Gift of Time. It’s been 24 weeks since I last blogged. I lost interest. I was tired. I felt like I didn’t have anything fun, high-strung or witty left to say. Giving honor to Juju’s 72 laps felt like a good way to put the cancer to bed, so to speak. But here we are. Approaching the anniversary of that time in our lives that was the bleakest. And we find ourselves asking, how are we going to get through these holidays when the grief is still there? Links to this post.

High Strung Musings: May 2013
http://highstrungmusings.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Relay for Life was last Friday. Juju and I had been planning for the event for several months. We had friends on board to help us and we thought we would have one of the best camp-sites at the event, which we did! I want to thank some of our awesome team members:. Marianne: This awesome lady made us an original Daddy’s Girls sign. It was AWESOME! Marianne has a true heart of gold and I am so very blessed to know her. Kelley and Leanna(Lulana): These are my girls. I don’...Rick/EJ...

High Strung Musings: March 2013
http://highstrungmusings.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 28, 2013. Cream or Coffee Grinds? I am currently waging an epic battle in my life with negativity. It’s not a new thing. I usually admit that I see the glass “half-empty”, that Juju is the “nice sister” and that grudges stay with me for a long time. Even when I proclaim to be “over it”, I can rattle off the details of the offense quicker than a fly gets to honey. Forgiveness is hard for me. They constantly try to lift me up and get me to see the ‘other side’ of situations. Every time I ha...

High Strung Musings: December 2012
http://highstrungmusings.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 15, 2012. Don't let them rob you. This has been a week of ups and downs.big things, little things, great moments of joy, great moments of sadness. I am just going to give you a week's wrap up day by day. Wednesday - has to be divided into day/night. The day was not the best. Part of being a teacher and taking off work is hoping that your Sub has a great day. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. I hate it when students don't give their best in class. Links to this post. I can go out shopp...

High Strung Musings: My sister…
http://highstrungmusings.blogspot.com/2013/05/my-sister.html
Wednesday, May 15, 2013. I have written about my sister quite a few times in my blogs over the past year. I think we have established that she is the ‘favorite daughter’. She is the cream to my coffee grounds, and she has a heart of gold and is generous beyond words. It is the last point that I want to focus on in my blog today. But we are power shoppers so she powered through an afternoon/evening of checking things off our “To Do List”. Was it too late to have another kid? Yes Yes it is. Trust me. W...
