We feel blessed to be part of a family that includes extendeds in its celebrations. Our son(-in-law)’s brother got married in Seattle this weekend and we were invited, not just to the wedding but to the entire weekend’s events, beginning Thursday evening with a rehearsal and dinner. You might notice in the following photo journal [...]

What was the top hit the day you were born. Find out! (Mine is “Sentimental Journey” by Les Brown.) You have to see this to believe it. Or should I say hear this to believe it? I dare you to watch the whole thing. Tina posted this link. You never know when you might need [...]

All of our windows sparkle for the first time in I’m embarrassed to tell you how many years. That’s because we carry the distinction of being among the first customers of Pete’s new window-washing business. I present: petes-professional-window-cleaning This is my shameless promotion for any local folks whose windows need to sparkle. We can vouch [...]

On this day every year I think about three of my moms. On Sunday we celebrated Edna’s 90th, but today is her actual birthday. On this day 21 years ago, the mother who gave me life lost hers. I was blessed to be alone with her when she moved “up.” It could have happened yesterday, [...]

When we took John and Erin to the airport last September, we formed a circle and hacked. So of course when they returned on Wednesday [...]

Last September we took John and Erin to the airport. Here’s what they looked like. Tonight we picked them up at the airport. Here’s what they looked like. You might notice similarities and you might notice at least one major difference. Thanks to their faithful blogging, we’ve been armchair travelers right along with them. They’ve [...]

I had an especially good one—for 43 years. Maybe you did/do too. I’m glad we’re not limited to this one day a year to express what they mean to us.

We’ve had a lot of sunshine lately. Only trouble is it comes in five-minute patches throughout mostly rainy days. The sun will come out and Mauri will say, “I’m going to get the mower out,” and by the time he changes his shoes, it’s raining again. Today, though. The sun shone all day. Maybe now [...]
