Scenes from Our Week
This week, among other things, we drove to Florida and back to spend a couple days with Rob’s parents, spotting interesting sights along the way: We visited the beach on both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts: We found lots of cool shells: We went to Kennedy Space Center and Mote Marine Aquarium: We went to
Scenes from Our Week
This week, among other things, we watched the lunar eclipse and celebrated the solstice: we had outings to Arabia Mountain and the High Museum: we spent time at home playing games, working on our projects/crafts and dressing up: and, of course, we celebrated Christmas by opening cards and presents: What will next week bring??
Scenes from Our Week
This week, among other things … it was snowy, icy and foggy: we ate comfort food: we got in the holiday spirit: I got a new computer: Rob and the girls broke things: and Chloe got married:
Photo Friday: Over the River and Through the Woods
As we’ve done for the past 10+ years, we headed up to Blue Ridge, Georgia, to my parents’ cabin for Thanksgiving. I do love getting out to the woods and taking long walks along the (sort of) country lanes down to and along the river. Camille came with me on many of my walks, and
Mondays are for Dreaming: White Christmas
The holiday season is in full swing here in our little hamlet of Pine Lake. This past weekend, we celebrated with our Pancake Breakfast with Santa, Cookie Exchange and Lighting of the Lake. Our house is decked with a tree, lights and pine rope. Holly, the contemporary Sirius/XM holiday music station is almost always turned
Light Up Blue Ridge
The finale of our Thanksgiving celebrations last weekend was “Light Up Blue Ridge”. Each year, the celebration has grown and grown. I suppose there is no surprise there. That’s what happens. My mom went down early to practice with the tubas. When the rest of us arrived, we had to park in the new auxiliary
Photo Friday: Destination Family
Last weekend, the four of us flew up to Massachusetts to visit with the girls’ cousins for a few days. It has been so long since the girls have gotten to see their cousins, I was a little worried. Chloe and her cousin C. are only a few months apart. What if they just didn’t
Best of Friends
They aren’t really “best friends”; they haven’t even seen each other for a couple of years. But after a weekend together up in Massachusetts, their bond as cousins is stronger than ever. While giggling like maniacs at dinner, another diner remarked “Ah, best friends!” Chloe and Camille only have two (human) cousins, and I need
Capital 10K
On Sunday, we woke early and headed down to Austin. Barbara, Phil, Jim and Marty were planning to walk, Suze and Luis to run, the girls and I to drink coffee and cheer them all on. (In the end, Jim chose to run.) It was FREEZING early, so as the race started, I ended with
Happy Birthday, Grandma!
On Saturday, the girls and I got up early and headed to the airport in the rain for our 8:40 flight. The weather was bad, but not bad enough to delay the flight. The plane was tiny, so Camille had to sit in the row ahead of Chloe and me. There was a medical emergency
The Girls
Even with all the craziness that I put them through, they are still pretty cool kids….
Cousins, Cousins
For days, the girls have been asking when their cousins would arrive. They were so excited about having them come here to visit! Chloe loved the idea of sleeping in the top bunk with Catherine in the bottom bunk. Camille, loving littles the way she does, couldn’t wait to see Christian. This afternoon the cousins
DIY Hiarcuts
Rob has been talking for years of buying a clipper so that the girls or I could cut his hair. He says it is simple and would save him money and time to have it buzzed at home. Yesterday he finally bought one and had the girls do it. We’ll hear today what kind of
