Introduction It's a hodge podge blog. (Try saying that five times fast.) I have five fabulous children, two wonderful partners, fantastically beautiful and wacky friends, a couple of crazy dogs, a passion for reading, writing, art quilting, football and triathlon - and I blog about it all (and then some). Oh, and peace is a big deal to me.

Go Dolphins!), Triathlon, Weight Lifting, Running, Cycling, Trees, Photography, Rocks, Gaming, Liturgy, Traveling, Star Gazing, Moon Watching, Cooking, Gardening (although I actually DO very little of the last two)
