Last night the rain spoke to me slowly, saying, what joy to come falling out of the brisk cloud, to be happy again in a new way on the earth! That’s what it said as it dropped, smelling of iron, and vanished like a dream of the ocean into the branches and the grass below.... Continue Reading →
Yawg, kuv yuav nco koj (Grandpa, I will miss you)
In late spring I bought a baby mint plant with plans to plant it somewhere in the backyard. I never got to it but continued to water it in hopes that I would do it over the summer. Still never got to it. It grew kind of wildly and I wanted to trim it but... Continue Reading →
My 6-year-old started first grade. It's been hard for me to grasp this. It feels like she was just born yesterday. My 11-year-old will be starting middle school soon. This will be her first year in middle school. I don't want to even think about it yet. I tried to hold tight onto summer. In... Continue Reading →
Today is our 12th anniversary. We celebrated by getting each other perfumes and going out to dinner without the kids. A couple of youtubes on these perfumes. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2beFa0PKfM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW335RrXUDM

Teddy seems to be leaving it alone now. There's not much in the backyard and I'm not thrilled at taking photos of... Continue Reading →
On the cruise, I had Eggs Benedict for breakfast a couple of times and just really loved it. I've never had it before so I had nothing to compare it to. This is what I had on the cruise (taken with an old Nikon Coolpix). When I got home, I looked for Eggs Benedict and... Continue Reading →
Last week the family went on a cruise. This was supposed to be my dad's retirement "party" gift but a few months back we learned that he wasn't retiring until later in the year. Nevertheless, it was still a fabulous week long vacation with 5 days on a cruise ship. Mom and Dad both enjoyed... Continue Reading →
All photos were taken at or above 12,000 feet above sea level. Photos taken with Galaxy SII. I won't be hiking for along time after the incident mentioned in yesterday's blog post, but I do plan to head back up to Pike's summit.
