he Peanut Butter Saga.

That’s what my girlfriend, Rebecca Ricks, named a recent and ongoing experience at our home.

I’ve made a Mother’s Day break through.

Last year, the fourth Mother’s Day since I brought my first sweet child into this world, I figured out exactly how to celebrate.

Gifts aren’t a part of it. No mother worth her salt really wants gifts. Now, kid gifts are great — the handmade or hand-painted things, anything with a hand or footprint squished into it, even my last birthday gift, a hot pink Angry Birds T-shirt from the junior’s department at Kohl’s. Just a few sizes too small.

“Farthest Field,” a new CD from Daniel Martin Moore, was released Tuesday.

Daniel Martin Moore was born in Elizabethtown and still has family in the area.

His new album is a duet project with Joan Shelly and has many of the same traits as the ancient Chinese poems Moore admires.

He likes the poems’ sense of deep stillness and reverence, themes of travel and homesickness as well as matching landscapes with mood.

Louisville resident and author Lori A. Moore will sign copies of her book “Missing Andy: The Journey from Grief to Joy” on Saturday in Radcliff.

In her book, Moore deals with how to view the loss of a loved one. She lost her husband to a fatal blood clot.

In a news release she said she worked her way through the five stages of grief and brought herself from numbness to happiness.

She now writes to help others come through grief to a place of understanding and acceptance.
