We are HERE! We are HERE!
Just under the wire! Forgive the late post, tonight was an annual dinner we cater and the 48 hours surrounding these events are a bit hectic. My brother mans the smoker, the rest of us kick in for the other stuff. JSB and Kate are as always the best service crew – and after 10+…
*pops popcorn*
Usually something happens during the week that prompts an idea for the blog, but that requires a person to experience life. You can’t just hole up in your cave and expect people to be interested in your periodic descriptions of dust bunnies forming under the furniture. I mentioned last week that I was going to…
“Beautiful Soup” for Me!
Happy Monday! Welcome to the work week and all that jazz. It’s President’s Day here in the good ole USA, a holiday invented to combine celebrations of the births of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan (okay, and William Henry Harrison, but I believe one should have to be in office longer than two weeks…
Art is Life
When creating a background and profession for Kenna Campbell, MFC for Eden’s Fall, I chose “art gallery curator”. Her first inception came quickly on the heels of my first ever trip to NYC and awed visits to the museums there. What a wonderful job to be surrounded by creative expression all day, and to help…
#amPreaching – Sugar Freedom
As a WLS (weight loss surgery) patient, no sugar is SUPPOSED to be a no brainer, but…or should I say butt?? The struggle is real right? July 2016, following bariatric eating guidelines and the encouragement and inspiration of friend and health & fitness coach Giacomo Farci*, I virtually eliminated sugar from my diet. Most of…
Gettin’ My Wing Clipped
While I still have two hands to type, I’ll do a little blogging. A very little because I have to load my parched and starving self into the car in a bit and go have my left shoulder repaired. I’ve had a shoulder repaired before so I know a little about what it’s going to…
A Blizzard For My Birthday
Good morning and Happy Monday! How was your weekend? It’s been a wild and woolly few days up here in the Northeast, let me tell you. We had gotten all the way up until the 2nd week of February relatively unscathed when Mother Nature, that tricksy little minx, decided to make up for lost time, bringing…
“Foolish Notion” – part five
Please enjoy the conclusion of “Foolish Notion”. Parts one, two, three and four can be found at the links *** After he’d dropped Dave back at her place, Streak had called Will to make sure he’d be around when he got back to the house. He found him leaning over the billiard table, lining up…
#AmParenting – Mother/Daughter Time
The Husband (Gregg) and I have had a relatively gentle transition into the “Empty Nest”. There was a moment last weekend, when the kids and I gave him a small surprise of everyone being home, he asked “what is the empty you speak of?”. During the Jr High/High School years we were often tag team…
