Over the weekend I did something brand new – I shot a gun for the first time!

Not calling Mr. Blue Eyes over the last week has taken every bit of will power I’ve got. I miss talking to him and I’m fairly certain he’d be happy to hear from me.

Today I went to see the new Muppet movie. Oh, how joyful!!
It reminded me of some really sweet times with my dad. On Sunday evenings we would sit together and watch The Muppet Show and 60 Minutes together. He enjoyed The Muppet Show as much as I did, and I got as engaged in …
