First of all, Happy Holidays and best wishes for a terrific new year! It’s been eight years since our family started sending photo cards during the holiday season. I don’t know about you, but the pressure to get them made, addressed, sent and delivered before a certain date is ridiculous. Why do we do this…… Continue Reading

52 Pick-Up :: Week 17
Week 17 :: We have family in Colorado and visit about twice a year. We made a quick trip there this weekend for a wedding. The body does not adapt to time zone changes quickly, so I was up at dawn. Luckily, that’s when the deer graze through the grasses of the wise people who…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Cat Door
If you visit here, you know I live with all boys. It’s a unique experience, to say the least and to keep my sanity, I must share the boy happenings from time to time. Life with Boys is going to be one of my “themes” next year. I’m one of those people that needs to…… Continue Reading
52 Pick-Up :: Week 16
Week 16 :: There is a bit more grey on the chin. And the grey has reached her smile. But this dog hangs with me when I run and can out-swim most any dog. I wish we could be old ladies together. I’m entering this photo in the Pet Photo Challenge at I Heart Faces.…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Bye-Bye
Almost every year, we travel to the southwest corner of Connecticut for a Hanukkah party at my husband’s cousin’s house. We’ve gone there in many family incarnations: our family of four; with my in-laws; me alone with the two boys. This year was me alone again with the boys. In past years, it’s been hard…… Continue Reading

Week 15 :: There was a haircut session. My 5-year-old was the patron and my 8-year-old was the barber. The implement was the Kindergarten scissors with the rounded ends. At least they practiced “safety first”.… Continue Reading
OM :: The Avatar Comes to Life
Lots of great moments this week and it’s been a whirlwind of activity during this holiday time. I took a road trip yesterday to Rhode Island to visit my friend Linda of a la mode and to visit Craftland. Linda was nice enough to extend an invitation to me to stay at her home. The…… Continue Reading
52 Pick-Up :: Week 14
Week 14 :: I can’t sum up this man in a couple sentences… But I will say that if the woman is the heart of the home, he is the soul. Plus, he’s a photographic HAM.… Continue Reading
OM :: The Girl I Never Met
I’m thinking about a little girl today. Her name was Julia. She lost her battle with a blood disease last year at Thanksgiving time. Her life touched mine and I still think of her fairly often. I never met her. I knew her mom at 10 years old in 5th and 6th grade when I…… Continue Reading
Happy Thanksgiving
Wishing you a happy, healthy and safe Thanksgiving this year! I have the tendency to hide out from Black Friday until Sunday. If you venture out or stay home, whatever you choose to spend your hard-earned money on this weekend, think about saving a little for Monday and RDP. We’ll be having a one-day sale…… Continue Reading
