“Don’t judge my actions when you don’t know the options I had to choose from. “ After reading this quote a few weeks ago I’ve thought about it about it a lot. I don’t know who to credit because I don’t remember where I read it. But wow! I realized that we need to stop…
Today at the park. Philip and I walked to the pond to look at the geese. Actually, we went to see if they were black swans…but they weren’t. And I felt a little disappointed. But first, think about this. We didn’t get to choose who our parents are or even that we would be born….
Remember when she and you sat up till 2 in the morning talking about boys? You talked about the nicest boy at school. And the cutest, the cutest boy…the nicest and cutest might have been the same boy… And you’d laugh and giggle and stretch your palm and your middle finger would touch your nose…

After the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, more than one text came through to my phone asking me if Philip’s pick for the “Run for the Roses” won. I talked about his choice in this post. No, sadly the horse he had been watching didn’t win…but with Saturday’s outcome, it’s looking like there is a very…
Do you think Superman ever needed to rest? It’s an undercover secret, but Philip is Superman! Ssshhh!! Don’t let him know that I said so. And he also loves horses. And there’s a Derby this weekend, The Kentucky Derby. I think it’s wonderful that the meaning of the name Philip is “Lover of Horses”. It…
