Once upon a time there was a beautiful little girl. She was the youngest of a bunch of kids. While her mother insisted she loved all her kids equally, the little girl was certain she was her mother’s favorite. (No, this isn’t about me, although Mom did love me best. <snark>) The little girl’s dearest [...]

First Sandy, then Claudia issued a challenge for the picture meme: * Go to your Sixth Picture Folder then pick your Sixth Picture. * Pray that you remember the details. * Tag 5 others. I’ve done Steps 1 and 2 and will pass on Step 3 but go ahead and join the challenge if you [...]
Did you miss me? I snuck in a trip to Texas when you weren’t looking. We had a new dollhouse to deliver to the granddaughters so we loaded up the van and headed south. We arrived in time for their birthday and spent a great weekend going to a soccer game, pool party and dinner [...]
Didn’t mean to be gone so long again my pretties (think wicked witch of the west), but I’ve been felled by a bug. Slapped me right up side the head and made me all boring to be around since mostly what I’ve wanted to do is sleep. Marginally less buggy today so look for a [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
So we’ve got two family weddings coming up in September and I’ve got a little problem. I figure that if you’re a member of the family at a wedding, you should dress so as not to embarrass the newlyweds in front of their in-laws. But what to wear to this first wedding is causing me a [...]
We’re back from a fun few days in Portland, Oregon. It was a great trip, just hanging with family and friends. We got to see Carrie’s new home, play with the dogs and spend time with Jack’s longtime friends, Jim and Angela. A few years ago I chose to walk a marathon in honor of [...]
Wow. Fast trip to Huntington Beach. We didn’t do much that’s newsworthy, generally just caught up on all the family happenings. We squeezed in a few walks on the beach, including a couple with this little girl: ShuShu is a 4-month old Shih Tzu and Geri’s Mother’s Day present She got her summer haircut while we were there [...]
