Festival happens every year in GR. I never paid much attention until we had a kid. Now that we’ve been down there a few times and I got the gist of what it’s all about, I was happy to volunteer for the PR committee when a friend asked. We made […]
He loves me
Left work sick today. After napping for a couple of hours, I did feel kosher enough to sit on the deck and watch the boys battle it out with squirt guns. Cheap and easy entertainment. The husband is fetching me some ice cream and a People magazine so I can […]
All is abloom
I think May is my favorite month. Well, May and October. They’re like bookends to the warmer and colder seasons. Mild weather. Pleasantness. May appeals also because my grass always looks its best during this month. After June hits, it all goes downhill. The lushness seems to fade and the […]
April showers really do bring May flowers
Someone brought a bunch of these into work yesterday. Lilacs remind me of my grandma. We had a couple of bushes in our backyard when I was a kiddo. It’s such a wonderful smell and it pulls me back to kid-hood every time. I planted a bush in the yard […]
The vacation came…and went
They all do. Such anticipation about the fun and relaxation and, before you know it, you’re back at your desk. Sigh.
Hello, it’s me (woo, woo, woo, woo)
If anyone gets that title, bravo! I’m reaching back into the ’70s for that reference. Anyway, I thought I should reintroduce myself since I’ve been away so long. It’s me. Lori. It hasn’t really been ages, but my frequency has diminished. I hate that. I used to be so dedicated […]
Say it ain’t so
I love driving my kid to school. We have some great conversations on our way. Today, I was telling him that we should start exploring some other radio stations since there are so many genres of music. You know, I told him, rock, blues, jazz, folk. He interrupted me with […]
Mad at myself
A couple of years ago I started a project to take a photo every day for 365 days. I persevered and completed the entire set. Even when I was feeling sick or uninspired. I’m goal-oriented that way. I set a challenge for myself and by golly I was going to […]
He made this
I got Dev his first set of Legos in August. He was fascinated. We (er, I mean me) made all of the items on the brochure. And we (er, I mean he) played with them. For Christmas he got more Legos from friends. Legos in packages that said ages 7-12. […]
Tis the season for Peeps
He and I? We at the entire box of purple chicks. We’re crazy like that.
