8 years ago today it rained. Not a huge downpour, but one of those consistently overcast days where the rain comes in waves. Where the air smells fresh and clean and the sky is that lovely pale dove gray with patches of white clouds. We were living out in Banks then and the 45 minute … Continue reading and I do…

because I wear the pants in this family…
Last night after I was done slamming Mike's head into my big ol headboard I rolled over and went to sleep. I needed my rest so I could head out into the wild for some camping. In October. When it's cold. I'm manly like that. When I get back I'll probably drink a 6-pack and … Continue reading because I wear the pants in this family…
loveable silly little me…
Generally, I like myself very much. I can say that with a certain amount of pride and clarity because I recall half a lifetime ago when I was not so lucky. When I looked in the mirror and the girl that looked back, her awkward smile and icy eyes, they weren't what I wanted to … Continue reading loveable silly little me…
bad with names
Every one has their flaws, I have many. One of them is that I'm bad with names. I can meet you 6 times and forget your name, and then the grace period where I should know your name has passed and I'm too shy to ask who you are... Also, I'm not always good at … Continue reading bad with names

And then I was in love with him. With my track record that could have been THE END. … Continue reading really, 9 years

I had a few posts all planned in my head... inluding a thing I was tagged for (no that does not mean you can tag me... don't you dare, I am off limits for tagging, this is a special occasion). But then the day got really short and suddenly it was night time and we … Continue reading dooooood…
Ordinarily…
I try not to post on the weekends. Saturday and Sunday at my house are set aside for family time. For K and Mike and my dear friends that I often don't have much time for during the week... So what is is that's causing me to break my weekend postlessness? A beautiful woman, a … Continue reading Ordinarily…
communication
We have a large wood table in our dining room. It seats 6 comfortably but we've gotten 10 people around it a time or two. It's home to family meals, friendly chats, art projects, pumpkin carving, other things... Right now I sit at one end of it, my beloved dining table. Mike sits at the … Continue reading communication
