We get invited to our grandkids’ birthday parties in Philadelphia and Phoenix but the long drive usually prevents our attendance. That makes today a red-letter day for party participation! Sage turned one today and we got to say Yes to the party invitation because we live right across town from the birthday girl! After being [...]

I recently added these pictures to my photo collection. These are workers at Gem Stone Company in Dayton, Ohio, in the late 1800s. My grandfather is the handsome one in the middle, arms folded, wearing the whitish shirt. He started working there when he was 14 years old. He eventually moved on to do bigger [...]

This is Bailey the first time I met him. He would become my grandson. My first grandson. I now have four! But this is about Bailey. Here he is in 2005 at his first Duke basketball game. He and his dad flew from Denver to Durham in order for Bailey to experience college basketball up [...]

In January 2011 I posted this little “series” story. The only thing different about it now is that it has a new ending. circa 1977 • Baby Taylor gets ready to pull the pans out of the cupboard. circa 2004 • Baby Cassidy—the same pans/lids offer entertainment. circa 2009 • Baby Oscar investigates our 43-year-old [...]

Please read this as though it were Monday. I’ve just been given the nod to broadcast! While we enjoyed the beni/bennys of yesterday, our Linsey was laboring to bring forth her firstborn child. I’m sure the people around us at the concert thought we were compulsive about our phones, since we checked them every five [...]

His actual birthday is today, so Mauri and I had a short skype date to sing the Macy birthday song and catch some of the flavor of Oscar [...]

There’s just no end to the puzzle fun. Look what showed up in today’s e-mail. This is Beth. So far I’ve met her only on skype. Taylor met Beth when they were in training with Comprehensive Health Services in Cape Canaveral, Florida. And now they work together in Iraq. We look forward to meeting Beth [...]

Almost exactly one year ago the women of our family gathered at The Feller House to shower “Little Macy” with love and gifts. That time Erin was the mama, and Little Macy turned out to be Sage. This year we have Baby Macy due to arrive in another month or so, grand #8! This time [...]

I think upcycled is what we’re calling it these days. Take something you no longer use and change it into something else. I thought I’d give it a whirl. I’d already cut one sleeve off of my no-longer-worn sweater before I thought to take a picture. Zip zap and I’d made my sweater into a [...]
