Local Food
So there’s a big movement afoot and I want to learn more. It is so complicated to make good choices. I hear people say that they never open a can. But is that really “the best”? I want to use tomatoes out of season (maybe that’s the problem?). Is it better to buy fresh tomatoes
All Quiet on the Western Porch
The girls were both invited to a sleepover last night. It was a very quiet evening and morning here. I’m starting to feel caught up from our latest trip finally. I’m so relaxed that I am even thinking of looking up some recipes to cook this week. I’m thinking soup, bread, and other wonderful autumn
Kiwi Thoughts
While at the hematologist’s office on Wednesday, I picked up a copy of Kiwi Magazine to read — the office is really an oncology practice and there generally isn’t anything there that is interesting to me or the girls. I found some interesting recipes in it, so when we stopped at the grocery store on
Lessons
After meaning to do it for over a year, I finally started asking about guitar lessons. I think I will be able to have one or two quite soon, and I am really excited! Time for these instruments to stop being decorations and start making music! Chloe has a plan that we will start a

And W’re Off
to Girl Scouts. But directly from there, we’re heading to Texas! Here we go…
A Lovely Lunch
We headed out to IKEA to meet up with a woman whose blog I read daily, The Lovely Mrs Davis Tells You What to Think. She and I don’t see eye-to-eye on many things, but I love her perspective. And of course, as usual, when I’m meeting someone new, I rambled on and on and
New Camera
Not as good as my digital SLR, but I guess it will have to do ….
Visitor
This visitor hung out with us as we did our work out on the porch yesterday. This morning she’s gone. Her “sister” is still hanging out on the ceiling of the porch…
Been A Long Time
I’ve been busy with catching up after our last trip and with getting ready for our upcoming trip as well as working on things for the new school year. Labor Day was also a big one around here with breakfast at the beach house, birdhouse painting, a ribbon cutting and a concert by the lake.
