The In-Between Time 7/27/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I heard an analogy the other day that rang very true. This writer described the feeling of that moment when you’re in the last few minutes of a movie or maybe only have one chapter remaining of a novel and you start to worry. There is a certain anxiety that isContinue reading “The In-Between Time 7/27/2025”

What She Wanted to Say (and What I Needed to) 7/13/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This week has flown by, and there’s been a great deal going on. Not to mention, a topic wouldn’t come to me no matter how much random information I threw at myself, hoping something would spark a little creativity. I even came up with the idea to simply ask my daughterContinue reading “What She Wanted to Say (and What I Needed to) 7/13/2025”

Strange Days and Lost Time 12/29/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt The days after Christmas are always difficult for me. Not only am I in a stupor of all the glorious carbs and calories of the holiday season and its respectably festive gluttony, but not having to go regularly to work makes me fully unaware of what day it is.   If IContinue reading “Strange Days and Lost Time 12/29/2024”

Fun, Frolic and Fear 6/9/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It has been quite the week in these parts.  The goings on have been significant and I’d have to say they probably also fall a bit on the unique side.  We’ve had things happen that had been long planned and then there were other bits that popped up and nobody sawContinue reading “Fun, Frolic and Fear 6/9/2024”

Not Just Another Day 3/10/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt There was a morning this week that things changed. I am not entirely sure what happened. I didn’t think that this type of thing would happen this quickly. It seemed like it was all of a 0f a sudden. I thought that metamorphosis was more of a gradual process when oneContinue reading “Not Just Another Day 3/10/2024”

Caught in the Net 2/4/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I attempted to use the same method for topic ideas that I used last week. It seems that my daughter and I are similar enough that her suggestions were ones I had already employed.  We’ll chalk that up to great minds thinking alike or something of the sort.  So, since her ideaContinue reading “Caught in the Net 2/4/2024”

All the Time 9/24/2023

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This is the time of year that the days get shorter. Well, the light does.  I am assured that there are still in fact 24 hours in a day, but I am not sure that the proverbial “they” are correct on this.  It seems to me that at this time ofContinue reading “All the Time 9/24/2023”

In Perpetuity 1/8/2023

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt We are one week in.  Perhaps it isn’t a very accurate sampling to judge how the year will go but we do have our first taste of it.  Thus far I don’t have a great deal to report other than this year seems to be following suit of its predecessors andContinue reading “In Perpetuity 1/8/2023”

It Waits for No Man 11/6/2022

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It was disconcertingly dark when I took my daughter to school on Friday morning. The beginning of the week had produced some breathtaking sunrises.  There were pink glowing wisps of clouds that changed to gold melting into the bright glow of day.  I was saddened that my drive took me westContinue reading “It Waits for No Man 11/6/2022”

On Time and T-ball 4/3/2022

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I have done all I could do to keep the tone of this week’s blog from being wistful but for whatever reason I cannot seem to shake it.  Something seems to have brought on this mindset that falls somewhere in the grey area between melancholy and nostalgia.  I know. I know. Continue reading “On Time and T-ball 4/3/2022”

Watching the Clock 12/13/2020

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Is it just me, or does anyone else remember when it used to take roughly four years to get to this time every year?  Maybe it was just the youthful imagination but I am quite certain that it took multiple years for us to get to the last pages of theContinue reading “Watching the Clock 12/13/2020”
