It’s New Year’s Eve and many people are ready to see 2020 come to a close. While there have been a lot of challenges this year, I’m not sure that I would call it a dumpster fire year. We’ve had to pivot and be flexible but we are all healthy and mostly happy. I spent […]
This meme is compliments of Bill’s friend, Jen, a PICU specialist who is now seeing adults due to the high numbers of Covid patients in the hospitals. Bill was off work today and in and out. He had an appointment and then took Walker to get his passport renewed. Even though we can’t go anywhere […]
Even though the official December 25th day has passed, Christmas music still is playing in my car. I stumbled upon this song on my way home from picking up dinner from Pangea (YUM) and I wanted to share it with Bill. The lyrics caught my attention when I heard “tamale from the homie always go […]
On Christmas eve morning, Bill realized he didn’t have his credit card. He traced his steps all over, searching everywhere and returned to the last place he had used it. The mechanic was closed and he didn’t see the card in the parking lot. After careful monitoring that it was not being used, we crossed […]

It’s Christmas Eve! We are almost ready for Santa to come. We had a lovely day. Bill was scheduled to work at the Covid clinic but because it was not busy, he got to leave early. That meant he was home in time to go set up the luminaries at church with the Boy Scouts. […]
I rolled out of bed and hit the exercise machine with my knitting. This headband is for Kai, a special barista who leaves me love notes and always has her hair pulled back. I happen to know orange is her favorite color. Bill and I had hoped to hike with Walker today out at Ondessonk […]
Today would have been my grandma’s 100th birthday had she not passed away last August. The text chain among my extended family went wild with memories and photos. This one of her and Sophia was particularly endearing. (That afghan on the chair was a church project but sadly went to Goodwill when the house was […]
