I Felt Up a Old Lady's Bark

I found this post in my "drafts" folder. I started it a month or so ago and for some reason never finished it. Because Granny is on her death bed right now, I figured it would be a good time to go ahead and finish it, and publish it in honor of her and her life. I love you Granny and cannot wait to be able to be with you again - this time for eternity. I will always remember the last words you said to me: "I love you, can't wait to see you in heaven." Also, the title is in NO way referring to my grandmother, or any other person for that matter..You will have to read the post for it to make sense.
Much Love! -Indi

Dear Mother... Why??

Dear Mother,

It's YOUR day! I am taking this day to thank you privately in a public way. So even though many other people may read this, I want you to know that I am addressing you and you alone. You see, I don't always tell you this, but I truly do love you and appreciate you beyond belief. And even though I do want to recognize all the many tangible things that you do for me on a daily (and sometimes minutely) basis such as laundry, cooking, and killing spiders; that is not what I really want this post to be about. Instead, I want to thank you for us.

How Much Chocolate Equals True Love?

Have you ever wondered around Valentine's Day exactly how much chocolate really equals true love? I am here to tell you that I know someone who can answer that question. Or she can at least tell you when you have not bought enough.

This past February I had the wonderful opportunity to return to the beautiful country of Poland. I know most people who know anything about climate and geography are wondering "Why in the world would you go there in the middle of winter??" Well, that is a very good question that is irrelevant to this post and will be answered in another post for another day. In the meantime just know it was very cold.
