In light of the nearly daily news, I thought I might share this site to explore: Everytown I wrote the following commentary last spring and published it here on this blog. But, why not again? “Snapshots in Time” *** My son and I were driving in the car recently. We got stuck in traffic, because […]

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 […]
Please allow me to introduce the newest Goldsberry: Finn. Finn is a three month old Sheepadoodle puppy, a cross between an Old English Sheepdog and a Poodle. After years of asking for a puppy, Jameson and Harper finally won. And so it was that Finn River came to be a Goldsberry one month ago. Then […]
Good morning from beautiful October in Colorado. I hope you have a hot cuppa in your hands and that your day will feel satisfying. Here’s a little “three things” update about each of us lately, plus a bonus at the end.

Harper Grace, you have been alive for a decade. Wow! Just as you amazed me from the moment you arrived, you continue to amaze me (and your dad and all of your family). I watched you this evening, carrying on conversations about all kinds of things. You, with your tall elegance, held your presence in […]
Jameson Grey turned eight years old on June 3. What?! There are countless things I love about my son, but do you know something that is really special? When he responds, “I love you, too,” he says it with enthusiasm and with a tonal uptick at the end. It’s as if his love is so […]
How was your first non-holiday weekend of 2022? You know, ours was pretty good, and I am so thankful. Friday night, we ordered take-out and cozied up inside. Jason and the kids watched the movie, Holes, while I chatted away on zoom with my book club. For two hours, we deliberated about books, commiserated a […]
