We got some mail from HS’s college today. Not the one where he just finished his master’s, but the one where he received his bachelor’s degree over two years ago.
It’s a check for $100. Marked simply “Refund.”
I don’t know if I’m more curious about what it is that they’re refunding or why it took them [...]
HS has now officially finished his Masters degree in English. It seems like those two years flew by!
BD is about to finish middle school. It seems like the two years of 7th and 8th grades have lasted forever.
Is this some kind of temporal anomaly? (For those of you who aren’t Star Trek fans, you can [...]
HS has finished all the work for his Masters Degree in English. Mr. B and I are quite proud of him, of course. Plans continue for his wedding in three months.
However, the job search continues, as does the apartment search.
Which means he’s moving back in with us for a month.
It’s really hard to believe that [...]

HS and his best friend from high school are sitting in the kitchen reminiscing. I was working in there for awhile, and got to listen in.
Nosy Parker that I am, you’d think I’d have loved the chance to hear what the boys were up to in their not-so-distant youth.
But they spent the entire time discussing [...]

Traditionally, I take the kids’ Christmas picture over Thanksgiving weekend. This started when HS was in college and I needed to get it while he was home on break. Plus it gave me plenty of time to order or print copies to include with Christmas cards. Because I like to get them out early. Sometimes [...]

HS called late last night to discuss the election returns. And to share some personal news with us.
I had answered the phone, so Mr. B only heard my end of the conversation.
“Oh, no! You’re kidding! Who would do a thing like that?”
“How did you get home?”
“Did they just take the tires or the wheels, too?”
So [...]

HS: (Calling to let us know he was leaving his fiancee Nashville yesterday afternoon to return to Kentucky for the new school year): I’ll probably just be a little ball of depression at dinner.
Geez, first he gets engaged, and the next thing you know, he turns 23.
Happy Birthday, HS!
I figured if I made enough guesses about HS’s news , I stood a pretty good chance at getting it right.
And I did.
We took him and his girlfriend out to lunch on Saturday. My son, the talented writer, pulled out a bag he’d brought along. “Remember my essay on Southern literature?”
He then pulled [...]
