8 years

Published on September 11, 2009 By spyderkl

I’ve written about this date before. I know I’ve written about it once or twice in the past 8 years. Those are the posts that I’ve allowed to remain on this site. There’s a reason for that. September 11, 2001 is the birth date of my nieces, my sister’s twin daughters. The horror of what [...]

In about 5 hours or so, she’ll be heading out to her best friend’s house for dinner, several hours too many of jumping on the trampoline and/or hunting for snakes in their backyard, and bedtime. At least, all us grownups are hoping there’ll be bedtime at [...]
