My birthday was last week…and I was not expecting a good day.  Susan’s still missing and the only thing I want is to have her back.  It’s hard to care about anything trivial like a birthday. But I was surprised that Sunday was actually quite a nice day after all.  Besides receiving sweet birthday cards [...]

I haven’t updated this blog very much lately because I’ve been busy with the other blog for Susan’s case, plus all the regular efforts to find her.  Also, I’ve found myself in a sad and strange situation.  When Susan disappeared nearly 4 months ago, mine and my family’s life got put on hold.  Every thought, [...]

Why whipped cream, you ask? Well, it’s because this is just a short, fluffy little entry…nothing too important…but kinda sweet and nice, like whipped cream on top of cake. A few fun things about my day today: * My husband is working from home, at least for now. It’s quite an adjustment but it’s lovely [...]

Whew, this week has been quite the whirlwind!  I thought I’d put up a little summary of the daily craziness for those who are wondering why I haven’t written for a few days. Monday: Actually a nice day, not too busy.  I spent quite a bit of time reading up on Hogwarts classes and ideas [...]
