I have an appointment for a dental cleaning later this morning. I am not one of those people who are afraid of dentists. I can’t say I really enjoy having someone scraping at my teeth and trying to make conversation while I have a mouth full of sharp implements, but I tolerate it. [...]

Somehow I have gotten into the old-fashioned habit of making Monday my laundry day. As our stretch of gorgeous weather continues, I am doing something else old-fashioned today and hanging the laundry out on the clothesline to dry. Well, most of the laundry, anyway. There are certain things my neighbors just don’t [...]

We had a great trip to Nashville. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. We took advantage of it, too. This morning we took BD down to the riverfront and to a park. Then we met up with HS & his buddies for lunch (his suitemates couldn’t make dinner the night before, and don’t even think [...]
…which can only mean one thing. Tomorrow is my birthday.
Of course, when April 15 falls on a Sunday, then my birthday is tax day. Lucky me.
To celebrate, we are heading south to Nashville to spend the weekend with HS. Tonight we are taking him and two buddies out to eat. If we have any money [...]
I’ve been working on this for awhile and don’t have time today to compose a new post (darned life getting in the way again!), so here you go. I figured my “About Me” sidebar (from my old Blogger blog and later revised to avoid redundancy) was the logical place to start and my “10 Things” [...]
Okay, I guess I wasn’t finished with the spring cleaning after all. Now that the weather has turned somewhat springlike (including April showers), I have been feeling a few odd urges. I finally recognized them as some kind of cleaning instinct. Fortunately, they are not strong enough to make me actually haul out a bucket [...]
Responding to Michele’s fairy tale challenge…
Once upon a time there lived a princess. She was not especially beautiful and she tended a bit more toward clumsiness than any natural grace. Her embroidery work often tangled, and though she enjoyed singing, her voice did not impress others.
The king and queen had no other children, and they [...]
What I learned on my spring vacation:
In April you can take a one-week trip that has you driving there in a blizzard and home on a summer day.
My newest nephew is even cuter in person than in photographs.
Most girls will eventually learn the purpose of a hairbrush. This week, BD suddenly went from running at [...]
If you’re a Muppets fan like I am, the song by that title is probably starting to run through your head already.
We had a lovely visit with Mr B’s family, despite the lack of computer access. Gorgeous weather always helps. In fact, it was so nice that I learned that I was wrong to believe [...]
OK, so upstate New York isn’t really the Arctic. And it’s only a cold rain, not the blizzard we hit in northern Ohio on the way here yesterday. But here we are, in dreary gloomy lovely Syracuse. Despite the weather, there really are lovely bits, especially my adorable baby nephew. I brought my digital camera, [...]
