A Monday in January…

January 12, 2021 16 Comments

It may be too early in the year for me to start spouting off about a bunch of negative stuff. After all, we are only a couple of days in... but...holy cow! I remember the day when the only thing I hated was a Monday! Oh how I hated getting back into a week day schedule with three kids... it was too much! Way too … [Read more...]

The Not So Good Years!

December 13, 2020 40 Comments

Remember when you were little and what you wanted more than anything for Christmas. Awe...the anticipation of a life size doll, a bike, a horse. Later, maybe a phone (and private line). A car. A child. A Grandchild. And then out of the blue...comes that year when you realize that you don't want a thing. You truly do … [Read more...]

Moving On…

June 7, 2020 22 Comments

I'm sitting here on a lazy hot Sunday afternoon. The kids have gone to Florida, and Gary has gone to the cabin. I'm alone at 1227 Burns Drive. I have lived here longer than anywhere else I have ever lived, and I'm surrounded by the hum of my past. I have changed the color of the walls... inside and out. Door ways were … [Read more...]

True Story!

March 26, 2020 16 Comments

I just did the most adult thing I have ever done in my whole adult life. I declined a girl trip. Me..."Adulting"! It sucks! After the 7th grade, my brain went on a reprieve, so saying no to a slumber party at my sister's beach house in the Sunshine State hurts as much as saying yes to a crowded hot yoga class. (HA! … [Read more...]

Missing You So!

This peculiar thing/feeling happens every time. I know it's coming but it takes me by surprise every single time. It just happened again today... Keep reading. I look forward to my kids coming home. Don't laugh, honestly...I do. (And this always means Neil, Margaret, and the girls will be dropping by more than usual … [Read more...]

Keep Your Hat ON!

We just spent Thanksgiving without any of the little ones, and it was...um, how do I say... GREAT! We slept in...without guilt. We ate breakfast without sticky syrup for starters. We strolled at our own pace up and down Savannah's streets without saying, "NO!" "DON'T!" " STOP!" or "COME!" a  single time. It was nice I … [Read more...]

The “Well To Do’s”

October 13, 2019 40 Comments

I've been home from the best girl trip of my life for a week...and I'm just now sobering up! You know when a story begins with, "Once upon a time" you get the strangest sense that "something" is about to go awry for the princess, but you move on raising your expectations and high hopes for the "happily ever after". … [Read more...]

Summer camp…is in the cards!

July 2, 2019 8 Comments

I miss curling up on my sofa with my throw, close to my fireplace, chowing down on Cape Cod potato chips, and writing a blog. Actually...what I miss are baggy sweaters, my sweat pants, and sunsets at seven. I don't do hot. Holy Moley...Summer is dragging on forever...especially the hours between my first cup of … [Read more...]

It’s just me and you… EmmyLou!

So how does one "Get A Life"? I know...because I use to have one. I can try to explain ... but mostly it's all a blur. I believe it was Gary's 69th birthday and we were enjoying quality time with Kelley and the kids when this delusion suddenly transpired... I am talking as quick as this... "hey, Mom and Dad, … [Read more...]

About Tracy Gaines

Tracy Gaines My job is to have a good time every day. So I try to plan a lot of trips and parties with family and friends as often as I can. I will drive 10 hours to have a glass of wine with "the girls"! I enjoy the challenge of a long hike or bike ride from time to time, but a bottle of wine, and spending time … [Read More...]
