Caison Michael at his soccer game. We were getting ready to leave, and I just had to snag a photo of him. Look at his smile! I just love my little Munchkin Man! Saturday, May 03, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
Coach Gabe, making sure Caison is goalie-ready! Saturday, May 03, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

Contemplative Tre: My neighborhood has a new playground and dog-bark park now. The complex is huge, so to have these additions blows my mind. I was taking a bit of a rest since we walked at least a 1/2 mile to get to it. Jernee was sniffing around, as you can see in the photo below. Saturday, May 03, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L.

The Little Monster just had to be sure everything was in tip-top shape. LOL! Saturday, May 03, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
I wanted so badly to go inside and play, but my knees were like, “Honey Bunny, don’t you dare!” LOL! Saturday, May 03, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
Sunday dinner. Honey-glazed chicken, mixed veggies (peas, carrots, and onions), and thinly sliced seasoned baked potatoes. Sunday, May 04, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

I love going to Caison’s games. It doesn’t matter which sport it is, I try my best to get to as many as I can. Jaidy is supposed to be playing basketball next season, and I will be at as many of her games as I can make it to, also. Friday night was peaceful. Saturday morning was intense with my workout before getting ready for the soccer game. Sunday was a day I needed and did not know it. Overall, it was a peaceful yet fulfilling weekend. I hope this week has been and will be more than kind to all of you!

A two-for-one special post

Saturday morning workout. I decided to cool down in the aerobics room. The fitness room was getting a little too crowded for my taste. And by “crowded,” I mean, two other people came in there. LOL! Saturday, April 19, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
Besides, the aerobics room has the best mirror effects. LOL! Saturday, April 19, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
Saturday’s lunch: cheesy baked potatoes with/ onions, and turnip greens. Also, a few strips of bacon. Saturday, April 19, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
Zumni Tye was actually watching me move about our living room–gathering things and cleaning up. I stopped and snapped a photo because I was in total disbelief. 💙♥️💛 My tortoise baby is growing up! Saturday, April 19, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
Please don’t ask me why she looks like she has lost her VERY best friend. Jernee is attitudinal these days. I never know what I am going to get when she wakes up. I just deal with it. She’s 17- she has earned the right to be a super duper grouch, and I will just be okay with it. LOL! Saturday, April 19, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
I did not go to the fitness room on Sunday. I decided to do a 2-mile walk around my neighborhood instead. I was feeling bound up and a bit more stressed than normal, so being outside in the early morning breeze was better than being cooped up in the fitness room in the basement. Sunday, April 20, 2025.

Oh, nothing… It’s just me and my shadow passing through the crosswalk. Sunday, April 20, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
I simply wanted to capture the view. Sunday, April 20, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
If you look very closely at the lightposts, you’ll see two birds. 🙂 Sunday, April 20, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt
Sunday night dinner: Spaghetti with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and spinach. YUMMY! Sunday, April 20, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

in the heat of the glory days & sun-soaked nights

haven’t had the pleasure
to enjoy basking in
the goodness of a secret shared
in decades – my glory days
and sun-soaked nights are
winding down.

soon, I’ll spend them with
a sandman who knows all
about losing sleep over
full lips instead of a
broken heart.

Jernee was really trying to get a good sniff. LOL! I heard some bees buzzing near us, so I quickly pulled her away from their homestead. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

and around, searching for that
fresh scent of heaven.

Something To Think About #7

trE
I don’t remember where I saw this quote, but I immediately saved it because it is DEFINITELY something to think about.

I will share “Something To Think About” for the next nine weeks on Sunday afternoons. It may be a quote, a picture, an interesting phrase I heard, artwork, etc. Whatever I share will surely be intriguing or involving enough to spark a casual discussion or in-depth conversation. Stay tuned every Sunday for this feature!

Also, today is Jernee Timid’s 17th birthday! The Little Monster is still here! There is not a day that goes by that I am not in awe of her. She brings me peace. She gives me joy. And to this day, she still makes me laugh. I wouldn’t trade her for anything!

Happy 17th Birthday, Jernee Timid!

Friday night dinner from my favorite Japanese Sushi & Steakhouse restaurant. Shrimp tempura roll and Eel avocado roll. Friday, March 14, 2025.
I was craving my favorite chips on the planet, so I copped one bag and was satisfied. Friday, March 14, 2025.
Jernee Timid was in such a good place this past weekend. She made me so happy to be her mommy. Saturday, March 15, 2025.
Zumi Tye is up to no good per usual. LOL. Zuse had just finished eating a bit of breakfast: mustard greens & blackberries. Saturday, March 15, 2025.
I had to finally sit down and watch Moana 2 on Disney+. I am so glad I took the opportunity to do so. I laughed, I teared up, and I bopped my body to most of the songs. It’s such a great movie! Saturday, March 15, 2025.
A postcard arrived in the mail from one of my dearest friends and I just love this image. Don’t you? Saturday, March 15, 2025.
Elder had given us such a great breakdown of the scripture we were closing out for this past week. Matthew 22 (The Parable of the Wedding Feast). It was a great sermon and praise & worship was on point as well. Sunday, March 16, 2025.
Sunday morning workout. I needed this because I’d skipped Friday & Saturday. It was so rainy and gloomy and I guess I was just lazy those two days. I PUT IT IN on Sunday. Although I was tired afterward, it was truly worth it! Sunday, March 16, 2025.
Sunday night dinner: BBQ chicken wings (I made the sauce), baked seasoned red potatoes, and seasoned baked cabbage. Everything on the plate was made in the oven – baked and cooked to perfection. Sunday, March 16, 2025.

Overall, it was a great weekend, and I was sad to see it go. *Sighs* Weekends never last long. They come and go so quickly before you can bat an eye. I am already looking forward to this weekend. LOL! I hope you all will have a great week ahead. Take care and be kind to yourself and others.
