http://simpleandsassy.blogspot.com/2014/11/gracies-persuasive-letter-to-her-daddy.html

November 20, 2014. Gracie's Persuasive Letter to her Daddy. Gracie Gunter November 11, 2014. I would like you to please fix my four wheeler. I really want you to fix it. I would take very good care of it, and I will wash it. I will also put gas in it. We would have family time. The family will be able to ride on our four wheelers together and take adventures. Finally I would drive saft. (yes she actually wrote "saft"). I wouldn't go very fast. I will wear a helmet and not drive on the road. Out On A Limb.

Diagonally parked in a parallel universe: Feeding My Kids From The Trash Can

http://simpleandsassy.blogspot.com/2012/10/feeding-my-kids-from-trash-can.html

October 17, 2012. Feeding My Kids From The Trash Can. Oh my, I am a bad, bad mother! Shortly after dinner last night, Suzie wanted a snack. She asked for an apple and I obliged, on the stipulation that she ate the entire apple and didn't throw it away half eaten. She agreed. She decided to throw her apple away anyway. probably. Hoping I would cave on the ice cream, I'm sure. What happened next, I was not prepared for. Suzie came to me, held up her half eaten apple, and sighed, "There! Police, Fire, EMS],.

Diagonally parked in a parallel universe: In My Father's House

http://simpleandsassy.blogspot.com/2006/10/in-my-fathers-house.html

October 23, 2006. In My Father's House. For the next several months my mind was totally consumed with Life and Death, Heaven and Hell. I knew that my Dad was in Heaven and rejoicing with Jesus. I wasn't so sure of the Chief, and still many questions surrounded his death. I have struggled with this for quite some time. Should I be hurt, should I be offended? Do I let my disappointment control my emotions? Do I let these emotions sour me? Or do I harness my strength (. Which is weary from being over tested.

Diagonally parked in a parallel universe: Some of My Quilts

http://simpleandsassy.blogspot.com/2007/08/some-of-my-quilts.html

August 09, 2007. Some of My Quilts. What we put together were the purple/white squares. It was about a year later that I sewed the green strips. Not before sewing a different set of strips, not liking it, and taking the whole thing apart. This is a queen size quilt that I '. Quilted. Nothing fancy, just traced the outline of the squares. For a price anyway. After the first quilt I made a baby quilt. Very easy. and quick. Hey Nana, take a picture and send it to me! Both this quilt and the large King quilt...

Diagonally parked in a parallel universe: Over The River And Through The Woods

http://simpleandsassy.blogspot.com/2007/07/over-river-and-through-woods.html

July 20, 2007. Over The River And Through The Woods. This isn't about my own childhood home, but my Grandma's house that we visited every summer. Take a deep breath in. The smell of the luscious grass and full green leaves. The fresh smell of creek water mixed with sweet wild flowers. I can just about taste it. The old country road, narrow and winding. As I peak over the top of the door and out the open window, I wonder if Dad is going to drive us over the edge. The cool refreshing breeze in my face.

Diagonally parked in a parallel universe: Ranidaphobia

http://simpleandsassy.blogspot.com/2006/11/ranidaphobia.html

November 30, 2006. Fear of frogs. What is the cause? Like all fears and phobias, frogs fear is created by the unconscious mind as a protective mechanism. At some point in your past, there was likely an event linking frogs and emotional trauma. Whilst the original catalyst may have been a real-life scare of some kind, the condition can also be triggered by myriad, benign events like movies, TV, or perhaps seeing someone else experience trauma. The above definition states, ". Needless to say, this child de...

Diagonally parked in a parallel universe: No freaking out in the lake

http://simpleandsassy.blogspot.com/2014/08/no-freaking-out-in-lake.html

August 18, 2014. No freaking out in the lake. Mamaw Gunter is scared of the water, mostly because she doesn't know how to swim. However, she loves her grand kids more than she is afraid of water. Chuck agreed to take it slow and pulled the tube close to the boat so Mamaw could climb on without getting all the way in the water. Once her and Suz were situated on the large round tube, Chuck put it in gear and we cruised slowly out toward the main part of the lake. Suzie was too concerned about Mamaw to be c...

http://simpleandsassy.blogspot.com/2014/07/scrub-tub-or-sink.html

July 30, 2014. Scrub-a-tub, or a sink. So, I know its been a while since I've blogged. almost 2 years. But I have thought so many times as I've laughed at my kids, "I SO need to blog that! Its been a crazy two years and I miss finding the humor in my life. I have a lot of stories to post but I will start with the one that made me sign in to my blog tonight. and I'll start with an opening line. So, I have ever told you about the time Suzie cleaned the bathroom and Chuck had to throw away his toothbrush?

Diagonally parked in a parallel universe: Spies and Cops among us

http://simpleandsassy.blogspot.com/2014/08/spies-and-cops-among-us.html

August 27, 2014. Spies and Cops among us. Back in June, Gracie and Suzie spent a week at camp. Friday afternoon I picked up the girls. We loaded up all their belongings. a car full! And headed for home. Both girls, exhausted, fell asleep before we hit the end of the long lane exiting the camp grounds. Forty five minutes later we pulled into the drive. I let the girls sleep. they were zonked! What are you doing? And she was digging in the Winter. Closet. silly me. My curiosity peeked, "Playing what? I ask...
