I wasn’t the only one in the family who finished a project just before year-end. Introducing Mirabelle who decided to arrive three weeks early,on Christmas Eve, in the middle of a blizzard. The reports say her brother is unimpressed with her timing or her arrival.

Holiday week wrap up

We were out of the house at 5 am this morning taking Carrie to the airport. When we drove by Wal-M* the parking lot was packed with bargain hunters. Ditto the strip malls. It was weird to have the streets full of traffic at that hour.
We decided to get breakfast out of the way on [...]

The Newlyweds
Morgan and Jon got married last weekend in a little chapel in Vermont filled with their friends and family. Jon’s Dad performed the ceremony and the reception followed on a hillside owned by Morgan’s Dad, my brother. The day started overcast and misty, but the weather gods relented and while the sun didn’t shine, [...]
It was a lovely day for a wedding on the lake in the middle of the woods. As the fairytale goes, the bride was lovely, the groom was happy, babies fussed and guests cried, and loons called out to the violinist during the ceremony.
And the only one who wore Birkenstocks was the bride (but only [...]
What was supposed to be an absence of just a few days turned into a week. As soon as we arrived home from Minneapolis on Tuesday we learned there had been a death in our extended family and the funeral was scheduled for Thursday. In Minneapolis. So we washed clothes, called on the neighbors to [...]
