Good morning! Greetings from the NE I think this subject has been talked about a time or two already. It will be raining all week according to the weather report (which I am remembering is not always accurate) So grain of salt. And we didn’t realize we were out of heavy cream for our morningContinue reading “Rain and Heavy Cream”

Hmmm I care less and less about the holidays. I might pick Earth Day because it’s easy to forget and not notice. The others have become so complicated they aren’t much fun. Oh well Let’s celebrate a good day Any good day Some joy Some fun

Not often. Few enough times that I can remember every one. Nothing makes memories like camping with three kids plus a four month old baby in the Utah mountains in early May. Cooking spaghetti in water that has frozen solid? Keeping all those little heads and fingers covered? Hard to forget Or, group camping withContinue reading “Yes, I’ve been camping”

Hidden weeds, weeds no one can see. Literally hours of weeding. For reasons I’m unclear about. After puttingContinue reading “Art v.s weeds”

We made a quick decision to move to Connecticut to help G’s aging parents. In the wake of the his brother’s passing and then aunt, his stepfather’s worsening emphysema, G would say he didn’t have a choice. He insisted that I did. I decided to leave California and go with him. We are married soContinue reading “Past Decision”

One thing I loved was that when I hung out with Rose the other day, it was for as long of a time as possible. We all left it up to Rose (or bedtime). She texted in the morning, she was dressed and waiting at 7am! Nice to be five minutes away. I picked herContinue reading “One positive thing”

This little town of Boise, Oklahoma has had some good surprises. Amazing Tacos at a family run restaurant, Awesome dinner! Oh my! Does Triple D know about this place? Very authentic, very generous portions,Continue reading “On the Road”
