Remembering My Father
By Laura Thomas, ABC | June 15th, 2008
Today, on Father’s Day, while my husband charges his new electric razor and watches golf from a prone position on the couch, I want to take just a moment to remember my own father, John Thomas Pevehouse.
Born of a generation that often worked for just one employer until retirement, he held down many different jobs: […]
Two Steps Forward, One Step Back
By Laura Thomas, ABC | June 10th, 2008
Tonight I sit here enjoying the ability to watch videos online without hiccups on my laptop while my husband watches the NBA Finals in high-definition on our new big screen TV. Yes, Christmas came early for us this year even though we’ve not gotten a stimulus check.

A week ago today, I was in the happy midst of a mini vacation thanks to the fact that my husband won a sales contest for a trip to Vegas. Sweet! It was a much needed break and just happened to coincide with our 12th anniversary (hey, there _is_ still a “non-mommy” woman inside me! […]
My Friend’s Choices, They Are A-Changin’
By Laura Thomas, ABC | March 20th, 2008

So, I’ve probably missed out on great opportunities to make some good […]
