A Weighty One

I’m glad I signed up for the Evansville Half Marathon and that I completed it.  I would not have wanted to miss out on the medal this year.  It’s quite the piece!  I joked with several folks that it’s the kind of thing I should put in my car and bring out at night for […]


Strong Genetics

Right before we walked into adoration today, my BFF, Liz, handed me a gift.  When I saw it, I gave a giant belly laugh out loud. I told Liz how much I loved it and that my mother would too. I called my mom on the way home from school with Mason in the car […]


Sunday Night Dinner

There has been a lot of work around these parts on Walker’s International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma and his college application essays.  To end the weekend on a high note, Bill and Walker decided to have some fun in the kitchen using a cookbook he got for his birthday. They chose the Savory Tuna Burger with […]


Fall in Ferdinand

Today Bill and I returned to Ferdinand for our first Fall hike.  He and Walker were out here last weekend and did seven miles but I was unable to go.    The forest looks different now that Fall is here.   Everywhere we looked, there were leaves obscuring what once was an easily spotted trail.  The […]


The EVV Half Marathon

Thanks to Covid-19, the Evansville Half Marathon is being held virtually this year. It’s a wise decision since it brings together a large number of people huffing and puffing side by side. I still signed up for the race for two reasons.  First of all, I wanted to support our local YMCA and secondly, it’s […]


We Voted!

Early voting in the State of Indiana started this week.  Bill and I took advantage of a break in his day between meetings and his shift at the Covid clinic. We didn’t have far to travel and because we caught it at just the right time, the wait was not very long.  The process was […]


And Now Placemats

Decorating for the holidays has not been much of my thing lately but I have been wanting to incorporate small festive touches.  I decided seasonal placemats would fit the bill. Four years ago I completed a pair of Halloween throws.  Those ate up a huge amount of my spooky fabric stash but not all of […]


The Briyoke Sweater

Presenting the Briyoke Sweater designed by Matilda Kruse and knitted by yours truly.  Though I shared about it a few days ago, I really finished, finished, finished it yesterday for knitting this morning.  We met to film a short video about our Rhinebeck sweaters to be included on Kristy Glass’s Channel. If I hadn’t had […]


Covering A Lot of Ground

This weekend is the big annual AAP meeting. It’s been a great part of our Fall tradition to travel as a family to the conference.  Back in the day, Bill attended meetings from dawn until dusk while the kids and I explored the destination. In the evening we participated in whatever family activities the AAP […]


Look Du Jour

I am sporting a KN95 mask or what Bill calls Cheap Chinese Junk. When Covid-19 started, there was a huge shortage of N95 masks, the gold standard of respirators and surgical masks in the United States. Enter the KN95s. They are similar to the N95s but the additional letter indicates that these masks are certified […]
