We were all counting down the days to celebrate Sophia’s fifth birthday. She was quite the birthday girl, bringing treats to school and contributing a very special book to the library. The other super exciting news on this otherwise mundane Friday was the arrival of Mason’s new PlayStation 5. The new console was announced in […]
Last night we had a Covid-19 style birthday party for my dad who is 79 today. He, Mom, Laynie and Sophia were out for dinner and the rest of crashed their party via Zoom. Dad is in want of nothing but my sisters and I surprised him with an Apple Watch. Monique spearheaded the gift […]
Walker had a great birthday! It started with a drive out to Ferdinand Forest in his Highlander with dad. Every time Bill and I have gone there to hike, he has mentioned that he thought Walker would enjoy it. The road, IN-264E/E. 23rd St., is curvy, narrow and has several big hills with roller coaster […]

Today marks Mason’s fifteenth birthday. How quickly the time has flown! Our 9 pound, 10 ounce baby now stands almost six feet tall. Unbelievable! He started the day with a breakfast of champions: strawberries with whipped cream and a slice of moist mango cake. Then Bill swept Mason off to the BMV to take the […]
My birthday was filled with kindness and joy. I woke up under the birthday quilt. Bill always remembers! We got up early to go to 7 AM Mass. Unfortunately, the parish website (which Bill read) said daily Masses had resumed this week but the weekly newsletter (which he does not receive) said they would resume […]
Today is my sweet husband’s 50th birthday! What a milestone and what a delight to celebrate with him! If you know Bill, you know that he treated it just like any other day. He went to work, had a full schedule and didn’t tell a soul that it was his birthday. He likes to fly […]
Happy birthday to my mom! I am so glad that I was able to speak with her today and that she had some help celebrating. I started working on the next in the series of the Contini College Bound Quilts. This one is for Joey who is headed to Xavier University in Cincinnati. The initial […]
It’s hard to believe that seventeen years ago Walker was a wee one. He is now six feet tall. Today he dressed up for a presentation at school and was out the door without any help from me. I take that back. I had to help button his collar and his cuffs but that’s a […]
