Mama Diaries: Lost Youth

http://sherryellis.blogspot.com/2015/02/lost-youth.html

Monday, February 9, 2015. First of all, thank you to everyone who stopped by and left comments for Virginia Wright in the last post. You made her feel very welcome. You guys are awesome! The winner of the autographed copy of Virginia's book, Wild Animal Sounds, is Loni Townsend. Second, I had one more question from the Outstanding Blogger post. I'll answer it now. The question was: What is your favorite piece to play? Here's Lang Lang playing it:. And now for the story:. What do you mean, Bubba? I nodded...

Mama Diaries: The Big Jump

http://sherryellis.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-big-jump.html

Sunday, August 2, 2015. I did it. I jumped out of a plane! And I'm still alive. This past Saturday was the day I decided to cross one more thing off of my bucket list: Sky diving. It was one crazy experience, but I'm glad I did it. So, let me tell you what it's like, because pictures and videos only tell half the story. You say, "Ready! Then it's one, two, and you're out the door! Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you how cold it was up there. Freezing! And did I mention how loud it was? It takes a second for y...

Mama Diaries: The Mama in the Dell

http://sherryellis.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-mama-in-dell.html

Thursday, August 13, 2015. The Mama in the Dell. My animals were up to their shenanigans, again. It began when I happened to look outside, and saw our cat, Bootsy, playing with a little blue lizard. (I believe it was a skink.) I knew it wasn't going to go well for that skink. Our hundred pound German Shepherd, Schultz, knew it wasn't going to go well, either. He wanted to bolt out the door and come to the rescue. So I let him. This is my version:. Now for a Bubba question: Alex Cavanaugh. Wanted to know ...

Mama Diaries: No Rest for the Mama

http://sherryellis.blogspot.com/2015/04/no-rest-for-mama.html

Wednesday, April 1, 2015. No Rest for the Mama. I've been running around like a maniac. (Which is why I haven't been in the blogosphere much, lately.) As a result, my Energizer batteries are wearing down. I need a recharge. So, I thought I'd try a ten minute power nap. I've heard those work pretty well. As soon had I lay down, a rather large, furry creature walked up to me and gave my face a good sniff. I complained. "Go away! He walked off. That left seven minutes and thirty seconds for my power nap.

Mama Diaries: July 2015

http://sherryellis.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 30, 2015. It's always interesting to go on vacation with your kids. Spending a lot of time with them really allows you to know what's going on in their heads. What's going on in my teenage daughter's head is a desire to own more pets. "Mom," she said. "My friend has a pet hedgehog.". That's nice," I said. She put her iPhone in front of my face. "Here's a picture of it puking up peas. It's so cute. Can I get one? I gave her one of my sideways looks. "No.". What about a pocket pet? My husban...

Mama Diaries: Teleportation Made Easy

http://sherryellis.blogspot.com/2015/08/teleportation-made-easy.html

Sunday, August 9, 2015. I have a great invention! My eleven-year-old son said. A door with a special knob that enables you to teleport.". That got my interest. "How would it work? You turn the knob one way, and you just walk into the room. You turn the knob the other way, and you end up somewhere else.". What if you make a mistake, and turn it the wrong way? He thought about that. "Then you'd have 1,576,321 times to try to get back.". I guess that means, you'd better not make a mistake! All too often I g...

Mama Diaries: Rotten Tomatoes

http://sherryellis.blogspot.com/2011/11/rotten-tomatoes.html

Thursday, November 3, 2011. First of all, I thought German Shepherds had good noses. Second of all, I thought German Shepherds were supposed to be smart. I don't know, but I think our German Shepherd is on the short end of the stick when it comes to those two things. Today, I found him scrounging in my garden. I hadn't cleaned up the old tomato plants yet, and there was a plethora of rotten tomatoes on the ground. My dumb dog found a few and started chowing down. December 25, 2012 at 3:53 PM. January 3, ...
