Tonight was Halloween.  It was wonderful.  Taylor was the little mermaid and Cage was a pirate.  Kids were running wild through the neighborhood and candy was pouring out of plastic jack-o-lantern buckets.  This year I did something a little against everything I believe in.  Instead of making costumes or putting together something we had- I [...]

I found out this morning that James’ cousin lost her husband yesterday.  No need to say that today was a bad day.  I feel for her and her baby so deeply…there really are no words.
I remember the night we went home from the hospital after Yang passed away.  I remember looking at her things- she [...]

So, I’ve always been a little afraid of nighttime.  I don’t know why, maybe it’s because I was fondled by a goat when I was little, or my thumbs look like toes, or somethings really out there freaking the bejeezes out of me.  But, for whatever reason, nighttime sparked panic.  My sister and I shared [...]

One of my favorite things yang and I did growing up was choreographing dances to different songs.  When we were younger we’d make up a dance or a play and then immediately bother the beegeezes out of Mamma until she sat down and watched us.  When we were older we made up a dance to [...]

It’s been a while since someone has posted something so I just wanted to post something!!  My sister is always in my thoughts, but this week has been so crazy as are most weeks, that memories come into my mind and pop back out.  Right now I’m sitting in bed next to Tater’s as she [...]

Today was perfect weather for something we use to do as little kids.  Ya know when you look at a place in the house where the light is coming in and you see the crispness of the sun broken up by shadows of blowing trees?  The cool dryness to the air makes life come alive!  [...]

I know Yang is telling this story to whoever will listen wherever she goes…So everybody on the other side of the veil and this side who knows us will know this story.
Yang and I liked to have secret meetings. Translation- we liked to try and sneak food from the kitchen and chow down under our [...]

When I was in fourth and fifth grade I was attending one of Gladewater’s elementary schools. Vanessa was going to the middle school, Glen and Yang both were in high school, and our modes of transportation were a powder blue Mercury Monarch and a Dodge Ram Charger. [...]

My family grew up in the woods of East Texas in a small community called East Mountain. We loved climbing pine trees and playing games in them. We each claimed a tree as ours and would climb as high as we could. For some reason, the pine trees weren’t much of a challenge. They had plenty [...]

Okay- I know Yang is looking over my shoulder thinking- don’t post this because I want people to know only the good about me!!!  So I’m only going to say that I have this pair of scissors – I don’t really know how I ended up with them- but they were Yang’s.  I remember her [...]
