Card

I told Mom tonight that I’m reading The Memory of Earth by Orson Scott Card. I have thoroughly enjoyed Ender’s Game and that series of books and now with The Memory of Earth I’ve begun the Homecoming series.
Mom told me that he’s been awarded with the 2008 YALSA Margaret A. Edwards Award for Lifetime […]

3 years and 3 days ago

I posted my first blog entry. I knew the anniversary date was sometime around the first of May but didn’t bother to look until just now.
Anyway, Happy Blog-a-birthday to me!

Mom

Today is Mom’s birthday.
She is one of the smartest people I know, has unbelievable determination, is fierce in her love and is willing to fight for what she believes in. She is full of integrity and is willing to tell you what you need to hear even when it’s the last thing you want […]

birthday boy

Smokey is two years old today.  He came to live with us in May of last year and has been a wonderful addition to our family.

Happy birthday, little guy!

Saturday plans

Today, youngest daughter and I are going to the farmer’s market to get some veggies for the week.  This afternoon, we’re going to 5 yr old niece’s birthday party at Build-a-Bear.  Will have photos to post later.
Have a great Saturday! 

My dad

Happy birthday to you!

Someone special has a birthday today.
Someone who goes sledding with her children, nieces and nephew on snow days,

decorates cakes with flair,

likes to hug moose,

doesn’t mind getting soaked for a good view,

is not afraid to take Buckley’s…

if it will help her feel better in the end,

and is not afraid to let her inner sparkle show.

Happy Birthday […]

birthday girl

Today, my niece is 10 years old. I’m glad we live near her family so we can celebrate special days together. Several times this evening, she said that she feels OLD. Being double digits in age is a HUGE deal, you know.
She was cute about it and all the adults smiled […]

Happy Easter

from my family to yours.

green feast

St. Patrick’s Day dinner was made by youngest daughter: pancakes, sausage, green eggs and ham, green milk.
Yes, I know it’s a bit scary, but she was so proud of herself.  She had the table all set and dinner ready when I got home from work.  Youngest daughter is 11 years old. She will […]
