• Wonder Dog and Moments...

  by Kaye Andrews October 31, 2011
  MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2011 Last year, I devoted a whole chapter to introduce you to my little Wonder Dog, Skyler!  He has congestive heart disease, and now, apparently, we can add COPD to that as well.  Nothing we can't handle with some modern medicine and the powe...

• Gaspar, Melchior, Balthasar and You!

  by Kaye Andrews January 5, 2011
    Better brush up on your French a little, because I am about to toss one to you!  Here goes.  Are you ready?  Doesn't matter, going for it anyway and here it is - Joyeux Noel, y'all!  I haven't lost my mind, no not yet!  However, some days, I really do think if my hea...

• OMG! - The Candy Man

  by Kaye Andrews January 2, 2011
  See that picture below?  Do you now what it is?  It's "OH MY GOODNESS" wonderful stuff that's not necessarily good for us!  A sweet tooth's dream vacation - the candy aisle in your local grocery store! I have a sweet tooth as big as the Grand Canyon.  I love candy, anything ch...

• Six - Christmas Mojo

  by Kaye Andrews December 19, 2010
  Oi vai!  Holiday shopping!  Is this picture you? Every year, I promise myself and try very, very hard to calm those down around me about gift buying and the "keeping up the Joneses" mindset.  It is absolutely not necessary!  It is "meshugeh".  Not familiar with Yiddis...

• Nine - To Bethlehem and Back By Squinting!

  by Kaye Andrews December 16, 2010
    I found this amazing picture on the web.  Isn't it cool!  As we take another step closer to Christmas Day, I had to share this with you.  It's just beautiful and in a way, it goes along with the next part of the story leading us to the day of celebration of the birth of Jesu...

• Twelve, Well Maybe Not

  by Kaye Andrews December 15, 2010
  No, today is not day 12 in the countdown to Christmas, it is day 10. I had worked on a series of stories for the 12 day countdown, and in the middle of the night Monday, I woke up with the impression that I needed to start fresh and bring the stories to you with an entirely different outlook. So...

• Journeys and Being Like Mary

  by Kaye Andrews December 11, 2010
  With every step we take, we travel along a path, our journey through life.  Not all of it is going to be perfect.  There are going to be times when money is so scarce, you sit and fret over how to pay the electric bill or the car note, or even worse, put food on the table.  Most o...

• Christmas Is Upon Us

  by Kaye Andrews December 8, 2010
  Christmas Is Upon Us Christmas is upon us.  What a wonderful time of year.  I only wish that people reacted in June the way they do in December. Today is Wednesday, December 8th.  In exactly 17 days from now at this very moment, presents will all be opened at my house and there ...

• So...It's You!

  by Kaye Andrews November 8, 2010
    So...It's You!   Exactly a week has passed since I attended a Get Motivated Seminar at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.  Can't say anything more but "WOW".  A whole day of amazing speakers and some truly noteworthy incidents are what brought me to this blog tod...

• Teenagers - A Lesson in Patience, Humility and The Love of God

  by Kaye Andrews October 29, 2010
  Earlier this year, May to be exact, I began to mentor the 17 year old son of a friend.  He's had his ups and downs, a little trouble brought on by fear and the need to protect himself, and 2 years later, a clean record, but not a physical school willing to embrace him and give him a fresh ...

• I Have Been Changed For Good

  by Kaye Andrews October 23, 2010
   In the summer of 1972, I made a choice.  It's not necessarily one, that at the time, my mother and father were thrilled with, but I made it.  I made the choice to walk away from an incredible scholarship to the University of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music.  I wanted to be...

• Poop Cookies and Wonder Dog

  by Kaye Andrews October 11, 2010
   It would seem that my cute little four legged kid took over writing for me for a couple of days.  Apparently, he does a pretty good job.  So, I thought now that he has introduced himself to all of you, that you might enjoy his "real" story from my perspective as mom and the Alpha in ...

  by Kaye Andrews October 5, 2010
    Yep, that's me up there in that picture!  I gave Mom the day off and I'm writing this blog today and it's all about what it would be like for you to be my size, less than a foot off the ground and experience the world around you like me - a lovable pint-sized pup.  A...

    MONDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2010   That Button Nose and Little Bow Mouth   Twenty-five years ago, my husband and I became parents for the first time.  It was an expected moment that we had 8 hours to prepare for, literally.  We were "next in line" for an adopti...

• Junior Mints and Elephants and Watermelon Ice

  by Kaye Andrews September 10, 2010
    Sunny mornings, gentle breezes, butterflies, bird songs....hmmm, just some of the calming reminders and memories of warm, summer days and appreciating the world around me.   So many things to be grateful for. Today, going to be 93 again.  But the wonderful news is that God is bl...

• Threes, Fours, Fives, What's Next?

  by Kaye Andrews September 7, 2010
    Ever have one of those crazy days when you knew from the moment your feet hit the floor, that it was just going to be weird, no matter what you did?  I'm having one today. It started with my trip to the office.   We have a kamakazi squirrel on our street.  ...

• Mule Kicks and Miracles!

  by Kaye Andrews August 26, 2010
   Borrowing a phrase from a friend.  Hope you don't mind.  After I gave it some thought, it just seemed appropriate at the time and she did give me permission.  So, with that being said, here we go.  Some of it is tough, but it's life, and life isn't always a b...

• A Special Day Got Lost in Space!

  by Kaye Andrews August 26, 2010
   Sunday, August 15th, 2010.  It was my mother's birthday.  It's a week and half late, but I discovered that something went wrong in the upload of the blog that I wrote for her on her birthday and it apparently sat in limbo, stuck somewhere out there in cyber space,...

• Home

  by Kaye Andrews August 9, 2010
    Home   Home.  It can be a statement, a command, a proper noun, a verb, a noun, an adjective, possibly.  It's all in how you say it and feel it.  "Home, James".  You just told your chauffeur to deliver you to yours, post haste.  "Home".  A ...

• I Could While Away the Hours

  by Kaye Andrews August 8, 2010
   This is one of my favorite songs from "The Wizard of Oz".  You know it.  The Scarecrow sings of the great things he would do if "he only had a brain".  You can't help but singing it to yourself.  It's a happy, perky, positive kind of tune, full of hope and promise...

• Mashed Taters and Strawberry Jello

  by Kaye Andrews August 8, 2010
   I'm so over resting in the recliner and watching/listening to the television.  Housebound for 3 days with orders to totally chillax and let things just happen around me is not exactly what I am used to.  Little bit, well, no, a lot of oral surgery Friday, and now I am in chill o...

• Mirror Mirror

  by Kaye Andrews August 8, 2010
  Mirror Mirror on the wall.  What will I see today?  Ever have to muster up the courage to face yourself in the mirror in the morning?  We are our harshest critics.  You know that don't you?  We have been lured and cajoled into believing that perfection is manufacture...
