Thursdays have a nice flow. I rise a little earlier so I can get my workout in, shower and get Mason up and we try to leave as close as we can to 6:40 am. I drop him off and hop onto a 7 am meeting. It’s a good way to start the day. I […]
We celebrated Epiphany with sunshine in these parts, a welcome gift from the heavens. Sunshine, however, was not the only reason to celebrate. Monique and I made a decision years ago to have our kiddos exchange their Christmas gifts on the Feast of The Three Kings. It’s a wonderful tradition that alleviates a lot of […]
Today was much the same as many other days but the effects of Covid-19 were felt early on this morning. First, my hairdresser cancelled my appointment because she once again had close contact with a positive case of the virus. I sure do appreciate her transparency and would much rather be inconvenienced by long locks […]
Today was a mellow Saturday. After my morning meeting, Bill and I quickly scooted out the door and headed off for a longer walk. We started over on Lincoln Avenue and Hebron and decided we would loop around Wesselman Woods as we have done in the past. We walked up Lincoln to Alvord Boulevard, over […]
We welcomed 2021 with rain, rain and more rain. I got up, did my morning workout and then eased into my day. In fact, Bill and I had quite some time alone before the kids were up. They are enjoying the high life of vacation—late to bed and late to rise. This afternoon after the […]
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 […]
This morning I had the pleasure of catching the morning sunrise and the evening sunset. To do my bit to fight the virus, I volunteered to help with the St. Vincent Covid-19 vaccinations. My shift was 6 am to noon so I was up, showered and out the door very early. I reported to the […]
Merry Christmas from our house to yours! Since we did not go to midnight mass, we all started our day after more sleep. I got up first, made coffee and started making our traditional steel cut oats with all the fixings. I still had time to shower before Mason padded out. The boys agreed they […]
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. […]
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 […]
