Yesterday, October 9, on Hunter’s actual turning-four-years-old birthday, I was once again explaining how his mommy had been my baby and I remembered her turning four and how now he was her baby. The concept is still mystifying to him in some ways, but he pondered, “So that’s why you love us both so much?” Yes, [...]

Here is what we learned today, just Guini and I having a little time to ourselves: gardening trumps Play-Doh time. We harvested 3 different types of peppers, 4 varieties of tomatoes, some cukes, some zucchini and handfuls of green beans. Oh - and some wayward okra that seeded itself this year. We [...]

I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck yesterday. I’ve been, as they say, around the block a few times and here are a some things I know:
If it is going to rain only one day this week-it will be the day they throw the Penny Saver in the driveway.
You spend a lot [...]

Tomato Haters, Beware

There’s a new kid in town! HA!
I kept noticing these nice, large and juicy-looking tomatoes that seemed to have started ripening, but then never quite kept going. But never-you-mind, I was getting plenty from the other plants, anyway. Finally, though I had to find out “what gives??”
Guess what? I forgot I [...]

Gavin (5) is in Kindergarten now. He seems rather appalled at the lack of snacks and refreshments offered by his new teacher, as when he pre-schooled with me, each completed assignment signified it was time for a break and snack! He also knows here, even if I put “special toys” away [...]

Life’s Grace Notes: Unexpected moments of perfection, the tiniest shimmer of beauty piercing your heart. The I-was-made-for-this minute; the unscheduled, fleeting, almost-unnoticeable events that make the life you have more valuable than you can imagine or could ever have hoped or asked for.

Guini is three!
Last night we celebrated Guini-poo. She was in ponytails wearing a Little Mermaid dress with sparkly pink shoes when she graciously opened all her presents, layed the clothes aside without much thought, oohed and aahed over the fun stuff and then got the pink, shimmery bike with the glittery festooning and [...]

You can watch mini “webisodes” of The Office at this site:

It is pretty much just an episode that never aired cut up into tiny chunks, but they are ever-so-welcome morsels of fun for this dry, Office-less summer! These characters are my people. I believe I have worked with every one of them.
Last week [...]
