Introduction I am a transplanted liberal Yankee living in a conservative area of Texas. I live with my husband, my college aged daughter and six dogs, two cats and a fish. I began blogging when I was trying to concentrate on caring for my aging mother, who had Alzheimer's. My stories centered on her and my adventures in learning to care for someone who could not accept her age and condition. Then, a few months into the project, my oldest daughter died after nine years of fighting an eating disorder. Since that time, my blog has taken my readers on a wild ride; grief, dealing with Mother, then the loss of Mother, who passed away in March 2010, memories and self-analysis, all with a little PGH sports talk mixed in.
