Well hello, everyone! I trust you've been well. I just learned that my email (yahoo)'s been tricky about the way it's showing me my messages, and I didn't know several of you had responded to my previous posts. I'm going... Read more →

Hello, friends. Well, a sad week is upon us S-9ers, that's for sure. I bet I'm not the only one who could say I grew up with the Judds on the TV now and then. RIP, Naomi. I've battled this... Read more →

Hello, all you ghosts and goblins - or is that your kids and grandkids and nieces and nephews this weekend? My three kids want to go trick-or-treating this year, all as ghosts. Mind you, they are 16, 18, and 20... Read more →

Heyyy, everyone. I'm late, already afternoon on Sunday, but I've done much worse before! Getting a post in on both Saturday and Sunday in the same weekend? I'm highly impressed with myself. ;) Link up here if you're playing along... Read more →

Welcome back, S9 friends and the world beyond (since I have such a significant following)! Am I the only one who is shocked we're nearing the end of February already?!! Link up here if you're joining us this week. ~*~*~*~*~... Read more →

Hello, y'all. Another weekend has snuck right on up on me. I missed last weekend entirely, seems like. If I didn't tell you here, we put our Idaho house on the market, and within hours we had an offer for... Read more →

Welcome back, my lovelies! This weekend finds us at a different hotel than where we were during my write-up of last week's Saturday 9; not only that, but we are in our third or fourth room in the current establishment!... Read more →

So, my 15-year-old kiddo, Sophia, is the queen of being a hilarious pain in the ass. I mean, since she was born, we have witnessed this child do the most ridiculous things that you might be inclined to get mad... Read more →

For this week's thievery, Bev went to Upstreamlife to get our questions asked and answered. Looks like fun! Join us, won't you? And when you do, link up here. ~*~*~*~*~ 1) Name 5 people you admire and why: Jimmy Carter... Read more →

Hey there, hi there, ho there! If you were anything like us on Saturday, you were transfixed by the NASA astronauts' launch into space by the SpaceX rocket, Dragon. I swear I held my breath for a very long time... Read more →

Hey, guys. Welcome back! I hope you're all still healthy and semi-sane, at least. What more could you hope for? I'm currently engrossed in the Netflix documentary "I Am A Killer," which has had me transfixed for several nights in... Read more →

Hey, everyone. Bit of a somber mood here in the Odette household, as my father-in-law passed away yesterday. I wasn't going to join in at all this weekend, but then I decided my mind could use a short respite. I... Read more →

Hey there. Nice to see you. Welcome back. Pull up a chair and let's get into our feelings of gratitude and thankfulness, shall we? Link up here if you're thieving along with the rest of us this week! ~*~*~*~*~ Stolen... Read more →

Heyyy, everyone! Welcome back. This song was one of my favorites when it came out; I was a YUGE Tiffany fan back in the day. So obviously, I'm wicked excited for this one! Link up here if you're playing along... Read more →

The other night, I was having a late-night conversation with Chloë and Rob. Now that she has graduated from high school but is taking a gap year before heading to college, this happens frequently. Especially now that she's 18 years... Read more →

God! You know, at my age, I still feel like such a child, a complete idiot, for not being able to just "get over" things that hurt me to my core, even if it's been years and years since the... Read more →

Welcome back, y'all! Well, as you can see I didn't die from my excessively-busy weekend last week (although, as predicted, no comments on my late-entry Sunday Stealing, lol). It's been another busy week as I've kept up and pushed through... Read more →

Hey there, swell people!! What's the haps? I'm still coming down from the high off of organizing - and attending - the #ClimateStrike here in Mountain Home, Idaho. What a moment this is! Did you go? Did you strike? If... Read more →
