My Favorite Love Story- Part One

Holly K. Ross

As you know, I love a love story. I believe that every person does, too. I am often asked what is my favorite book or love story. The answer is easy- our love story. Tony and I met in college. It wasn't love at first sight. As a matter of fact, we crossed paths for… Continue reading My Favorite Love Story- Part One

A Poem About Fall

Holly K. Ross

In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil. And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb colour effects as from August to November. Rose G. Kingsley   Fall is the best time of… Continue reading A Poem About Fall

Simple Beauty- Christmas Decorating on the Farm

Holly K. Ross

I love Christmas time- I have a  desire to bake, cook, clean, decorate, and wrap gifts tied up with lots of ribbon that sparkles that I am just unable to suppress.  I do get some help from the kids, but mostly its just me and I love it.  Tony enjoys my creations, especially those emerging… Continue reading Simple Beauty- Christmas Decorating on the Farm

The Most Powerful Woman In America

Holly K. Ross

As I was standing in line at the grocery store the other day, Time magazine caught my eye.  An attractive woman was on the cover with the line "Don't hate her because she is successful" and under it was her name and claim that she had "a mission to reboot Feminism"  I guess being the… Continue reading The Most Powerful Woman In America

Working, Working- Thanks, Mom!

Holly K. Ross

I wish every person could have a mom like mine.  She is always willing to help and even when we disagree, it is usually because we both want what is best for me but just have different ideas as to what that is.  Today mom came by with pizza and then began to clean.  If… Continue reading Working, Working- Thanks, Mom!

A Merry Christmas – What A Great Weekend

Holly K. Ross

My daily posts have been delayed since my Thursday post because me and my little nest have been celebrating our Christmas together.  You may find this odd, but then my family is odd in a sense (or more than one sense) but it is odd in a good way. For long before I entered this… Continue reading A Merry Christmas – What A Great Weekend

Teenagers….

Holly K. Ross

All through my teen years and all through these years of raising my children, there has been so much derogatory talk about teenagers.  The word "teenager" is often used in similar connotations as the word "cancer" is used or "terrorist".  I believe this to be shameful and misleading.  Having teenagers is not a bad thing. … Continue reading Teenagers….

Little Girls Love Their Daddy

Holly K. Ross

What better way to spend a snowy day than curled up with you dad napping. I don't guess you ever get too old. I hope not. Cheyenne is 17 and Savannah is 15. There aren't that many years left with these two at home. Good thing there are two more behind them.
