Let’s hear from you.

I would like my blog to be a forum for my readers to share their stories and experiences and express their views and opinions about being a part of a blended family. I am working on a book tentatively titled:Blended Family Stories. It will be an in depth look at the real life challenges and joys of successful blended families. If you would like to be part of my research I'd love to hear from you.Take my Blended Family survey

  • POP POP TURNS 90

    Paul’s dad turned 90 on Friday, May 28th. We had a little family party for him and will have a much bigger party on June 20th with a family reunion with all of Paul’s 6 siblings and their families. His actual birthday was low key because another resident in the retirement community where he lives also had a birthday and kind of stole his thunder. She turned 105! There was an article about her in the local paper. Her name is Eula and she used to be  a cowgirl. Her secret to longevity is simple: “Appreciate what you have. Don’t make mountains out of molehills. Sleep with the window open.” Good advice I will follow. Especially the first part. We forget sometimes.

  1. Happy Birthday to Pop Pop!

    And it appears that Eula puts the wise and old into “Wise Old Sage.”
