I was in the kitchen this morning putting away groceries. The kids were downstairs watching Shrek or something…and Bill was upstairs sleeping with a hot water bottle on his head and the AC blasting and wishing the migraine pain would go away. Julia came up the stairs and spotted the juice boxes I was puttingContinue reading “For Beth, just because I know you’ll get a kick out of these.”

Specifics
The past oh, 5 days or so have been days of heat, humidity, and horrible yucky illnesses. And the kids had fevers. Alex first, on Friday, and Julia yesterday and today. Long, long story. Bill and I have had a lot of digestive system fun too. But enough of that part of it. I amContinue reading “Specifics”
Just Like the Rest of Them
Yesterday afternoon we went to Alex’s best friend’s birthday party. It was HOT outside. Hot. Got that? HOT. Miserable. Fortunately for the kids, the party included a pool and a slip n’ slide with two lanes to slip and slide on. Fortunately for the parents, there were shady places to sit and cold beverages. ThereContinue reading “Just Like the Rest of Them”
Beware
I took this picture earlier tonight. After dinner we walked down the street to get ice cream cones…the kids riding in the red wagon. Alex, Bill and Julia all got small cones of lemon. I got mint chocolate chip. It’s pretty hot here (and everywhere, I think) so the ice cream melted pretty fast, andContinue reading “Beware”
A Couple Thousand Words
I have nothing much to say…I updated the picture of myself up there on the left…actually the picture there until now has been one of Julia. I liked the picture. I never meant to deceive anyone. I was going through pictures I’ve taken over the last week with the new camera. And there are aContinue reading “A Couple Thousand Words”
Speed of Light
Last night after dinner I brought the kids outside so they could run around and wear themselves out before bedtime. I sat on the bench at one corner of the yard…and my children ran. They ran from the bench to the opposite corner, where the arbor and the gate are. Alex mostly. He ran backContinue reading “Speed of Light”
High Fives and Shouts of Encouragement
I’ve got a picture of Julia on my computer desktop at work. Sometimes I have a picture of Alex. Or sometimes both of them. I change it every week or so. But right now it’s Julia. It’s the picture of her from my previous post – she’s in her diaper, outside, with the ice creamContinue reading “High Fives and Shouts of Encouragement”
New Toy
So I bought a new camera. I got a Canon EOS Rebel XT. It arrived Monday. Finally. I ordered it last week…and the UPS tracking thing had it on target to arrive on FRIDAY, June 30th. And then Friday morning I checked the UPS tracking site again, and my camera had been REROUTED due toContinue reading “New Toy”
Lazing
Hi. I’m sitting here on the couch in my living room. It’s heading for ten o’clock in the morning. My coffee mug is on the windowsill beside me. From this big window I can see trees and the houses across the street…the yellow and purple pansies that crowd the window box…and streaks of water flowingContinue reading “Lazing”
