11. I’m grateful for time with these two. They crack me up, they’ve shown me most of what I know about unconditional love, and they haven’t gotten too old to be excited when I visit and want to play with their boring old Aunt. (Okay I’m not that old really … in fact, they told me so! … Continue reading »
Because it’s her birthday today and she’s very far away, my oldest and dearest friend, Katt and friendship in general are on my mind. So I thought I would use this Photo Friday post to share with you a few things about friendship that I’ve learned from my twenty years of friendship with Katt (and our other close and dear circle of friends).

Ahhh … yes. I’ve made it another year around the sun! Woo Hoo!!! 31 years old! (I’d like to say “years-young” but anyone who knows me knows that, that would be a terrible lie.) How do I feel to be turning (at 7:00 pm and no seconds) 31 years old? In a word??? Profoundly grateful. … Continue reading »
I thought, for this Photo Friday post, that I would share a scene from my day. Can you guess how I’ve spent my week??? That’s right! I’ve been volunteering in my 6-year-old niece’s first grade classroom most of this week. Of course this also happens to be my best friend’s first grade classroom. (As in, … Continue reading »
I had planned to be back in my quiet little apartment in Seattle right now. If I had gone home with Husband on Sunday evening (as planned) I would have cleaned up after the cat, unpacked, done our vacation laundry, organized my space, done the shopping, uploaded and edited photos and completed a blog post … Continue reading »
What can I say? … I’m exhausted. I’m in Oregon having a wonderful time and I’m exhausted from it. I had just about enough energy in my fingers to upload this picture I took on my phone during our drive up on Tuesday (don’t mind the alien/squished bug on the window, please) … and absolutely nothing … Continue reading »
I have no good excuse. I really don’t. It all started last Friday … My sister-in-law (a hunting widow for the week) decided to schlep up from her home in Oregon to visit with us in Seattle. She brought with her the step-boy-child and her two youngest (turning 2 and 4 in the next week). … Continue reading »
It’s Photo Friday! But more importantly, it’s National Guacamole Day, Mexican Independence Day and most importantly, my dear friend Liss’s Birthday. Today is the beginning of Birthday Season in my world. First comes Liss (today), then a week later it’s Em (my soul’s sister) and then a couple of weeks later, it’s me (ugh), then a … Continue reading »
Hello September! I’ve never been a fan of summer. Not much about it appeals to me. And while I fully recognize that summer is not yet officially over, as far as I’m concerned? September is the first day of Fall. Autumn is my favorite time of year. Especially since moving to the Northwest. It is … Continue reading »
I love this picture. Love. LOVE!!! No, it’s not perfect. Far from it. The light is bad (harsh and midday), the colors are funky, it’s a little unfocused, snapped from too far away … I mean, no it’s not perfect. BUT! (No pun intended considering that’s really all you can see of us.) What a … Continue reading »
