Here’s just a little taste of what my delicious French toast breakfast inspired in these five grands: I think they could hire Paul for the “Got Milk?” commercial, don’t you?
a visit with taylor
Sherry | April 29, 2011
Have I mentioned that Taylor moved to Arizona? When you’re single, it’s easy to decrease your earthly possessions, pack your car, and relocate. Today, while the kids were in school, I drove the forty minutes up to Scottsdale to see him and his “new” condo. He invited me inside for a look at his dwelling [...]
appreciated

This will illustrate how out of it I am these days. In team meeting today, Elizabeth presented Denise and me with Professional Administrative Assistants Day (a.k.a. Secretary Day) appreciation, and it was my first clue that day had rolled around again. You see, the team we work for/with appreciates us on a regular basis, and [...]
genius
Sherry | April 25, 2011
Oscar and his mama went home last night. Even the dog is mopey, now that her playmate is gone. So we resort to poring through pictures taken last week. These stand out to share, because they show the genius at work. How many two-year-olds do you know who can do this? Huh? Since you don’t [...]
remembering
Sherry | April 23, 2011
It was a lovely morning to walk around two cemeteries, the agenda for Rachel, Oscar, and me. It was, of course, an opportunity for Rachel to see where three of her four grandparents are buried. Our busy boy enjoyed seeing animals, which are hidden—though not entirely—in this picture. Can you find them? A sheep and [...]
papa
Sherry | April 19, 2011
I love going to Papa’s house. He’s a lot like Santa. When I walk in the front door one of his elves greets me. Another asks me what I want for dinner. And this is the best part. I stand in the kitchen and watch Papa’s elves assemble our meal. He sends me home with [...]
all better now
Sherry | April 17, 2011
Nothing like a dose of our sweet Sage to make everything all better. Her mama agrees with our assessment of this little girl, already six weeks old. She smiled at me today, and I am in love.
it’s a bit much
Sherry | April 14, 2011
Earlier this evening, exactly five weeks (within ten minutes) from Mauri’s dad’s death, his mom began breathing new air. Mauri got a call from sister-in-law Margi the day before we returned from Florida, reporting that Mom had an “event” that made her weak and disoriented. By the time we got home, she was in a [...]
wrap up
Sherry | April 7, 2011
After Mother died in 1988, Johnny bought her Steinway piano from our dad. So it was especially fun for Mauri and me to visit it, as we have much history related to those ivories. Back in our high school days we shared the bench many an hour, working out arrangements and just enjoying singing together. [...]
finale
Sherry | April 6, 2011
We woke to the sights and sounds of lightening and thunder. It was heavenly! By the time we went downstairs to start the day, this was our view. Call me crazy, but I absolutely love this kind of rain. It was still overcast for our twosome out-and-about to find this favorite eating dive from (my) [...]
