Um. And exactly why do we have a cushy bed for her in nearly every room of the house?

Sunday morning. Our monthly family dinner set-up is complete, unless the family expects there might be a hint of Christmas in our surroundings. Instead of pulling something festive down from the attic, I’m here at my desk paying bills and playing with my new camera. It’s been several cameras ago that I could get such [...]
our new car
Sherry | September 9, 2010
Well, the temptation became too much and we gave in and bought a brand new car. It’s a Mercedes-Benz SCL600. We were so excited about those cool doors and couldn’t wait to drive it right off the showroom floor. First we had a little disagreement about which one of us got to drive. But then [...]
this and that

If I remember accurately, this blog is named “a little bit of this and a little bit of that.” I s’pose I could go look. Well, whatever, here’s a little bit of this and a little bit of that! _ . _ . _ . _ . _ My friend Bethany tagged me on Facebook [...]
65!
Sherry | July 8, 2010
Trust me. I couldn’t have missed this birthday if I tried. For months now Medicare supplement insurance companies (and funeral plan offers) have filled my mailbox with “helpful” information about their services. Since I’m blessed with a job I love, I don’t plan to start taking social security until my full retirement age, which is [...]
car talk
Sherry | June 7, 2010
I wish I could remember who said of my beloved son Ben: “He dispenses with pleasantries.” She nailed it. Ben gets to the point. Case in point (which is the point of this post): In Michigan a couple of weeks ago, Quinn, Ben, and I were riding together in my rental car. Me: We got [...]

I’m not really proud of my mistakes. I just figure confession is good for the soul. At my last confession I showed you my month-long typo. This time: The small stack on the top is what I meant to print—thumbnails of the lyric slides for Sunday’s morning worship gathering. The tall stack, nearly a ream [...]
gone too far
Sherry | April 11, 2010
It could be I’ve carried this healthy eating thing a little too far. When I saw this on one of the blogs I read I shopped for the ingredients to replicate it. She’s a more serious blogger than I am, illustrated by the level of effort put into staging the photo. Here’s her nicely presented [...]
i’m a loser
Sherry | March 22, 2010
I had to give it up tonight to a deserving three-pound loser, but for the past week I got to flaunt the “L,” our Weigh2Go! award for being the week’s biggest loser. We consider the “L” an award, while the REward is what we lose.

Sherry | February 27, 2010
I know, I know—I’m a little carried away with this healthy eating thing. But you can’t knock it if you haven’t tried it. So I’m trying it. And so far, I’m liking it a lot! Maybe it’s because I’m nearing the 30-pound mark—lost, not gained, for a change. Yesterday I read Liz Wood’s blogpost about [...]
