Hello there! Happy Labor Day Weekend. Is it summer or fall where you are? Around here’s it’s been mostly summer … lots of 90+ degree days.

Today was the last of the summer Sundays. It was a little bit sweet- an extra morning coffee, a sense of calm, in that the kids have two more days, a walk with the pooch, and a sprinkling of baking. And, also, it was a little bit scary – it’s back to school, back to […]
In lightning-round life lately: What we are eating: leftovers (pasta, birthday cake, odds n’ ends from the fridge) – the true fruits of summer have not yet arrived, but I am eagerly awaiting juicier berries and sweet corn What I am watching: Shrinking on Apple TV – the story of a widowed psychiatrist (Jason Segal), […]

On Friday, Jason and I finished our 18th and 17th year of teaching. This year was a good […]
My sweet mama turned 70 this year. She decided to celebrate it BIG, and I think it’s terrific. Yesterday, she left for Spain to walk the last 70 miles of the Camino de Santiago. I mean … how neat is THAT? After a day of travel, via New York and Madrid, she arrived in the […]
Welcome to spring! Does it feel like it around you? Here, not so much. Arizona last week … not so much! But, perhaps somewhere? Here is a little three things update on this first Sunday of spring. 3. Jameson is interested in everything Japanese. He has been begging for a trip to Japan, would like […]
Hello again. Colorado gave us a long and very sincere winter. I didn’t mind it. I took a deep dive into the hygge part of my DNA. I did lots of reading, baking, and resting, but not a lot of writing here. March 5 today. I can hardly believe it. Winter is not over; in […]
