    My best cousin is coming for Thanksgiving (hi Steph!). We’ve been best cousins since that fateful day when she decided she wanted a pen pal and she picked me. One of the best things to ever happen. We had a long conversation this morning about all the delicious things we are going to make. She…

    Nol-Man When we go on walks together he uses one hand to hold mine and the other to find his belly button. He puts his little finger on it and doesn’t let go. I’ve taught him several new words including dapper and mess. We’re currently working on delicious. Yum is functional, but delicious is functional…

    I logged on and discovered the last time I posted was July 15. I was sure it had been longer than that. It felt like months ago the last time I posted. Years maybe. It’s been two months. I didn’t post anything in August. That’s the first time in two and a half years I…

    For perhaps the first time I am beginning to understand the mystique around the word Friday. Just saying it is enough to make my heart flutter, my mind less cluttered, my feet lighter. Like a charm or a spell, it pulls my mind irresistibly toward the future. Friday. In just a few days I will…

    I’ve been in upstate New York for two and a half weeks. I’m going to be here one week more. I’ve learned a lot while being here. Things like, I can drive a minivan like a champ. Or rather, like a soccer mom. And I can get a tantrum throwing child out of the closet…

    The other day I was wandering about the library. My library employs several shelves for the express purpose of displaying books. These shelves are meant to tantalize you and also to show the incredibly large selection of reading material the library offers on every subject. I was browsing one of these shelves, wishing I had…

    I’ve been thinking more about the idea of a summer bucket list. I’m still not ready to commit to one. Particularly since I will spend a large portion of this summer in upstate New York. But, if I were to have a summer bucket list, it would look something like list: pack the perfect picnic…

    I’m going to make this quick because I’m behind by five days. How embarrassing. I had a poor showing this month. I’ve been concentrating on other things. Even so, according to Goodreads I’m three books ahead of schedule for my yearly goal. Yes, I’m awesome. The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression…

    Ma flew to New York this morning to help care for my sister-in-law as she recovers from her surgery. Ma will also be watching her three, adorable, New York dwelling grandkids. Lucky Ma. With Ma gone, I’m in charge on the home front. Do you know what happens when I’m in charge on the home…

    I spent Saturday getting the Ma’s serger up and running. We had taken it in to the shop months and months ago. The repair man was appalled. “You messed up the programming, which you shouldn’t be able to do. How did you do that!?” We hadn’t touched it since bringing it home. (Is anyone surprised…
