I could sit in the back of the boat all damn day and watch the water A week ago today, I was getting ready to take a nighttime boat ride and look at the stars. Seems a far cry from blogging in my bed with a glass of ice water :). It’s no secret that…
You know when you have so much fun you can barely even make a list of it? Well that is what Maine amounted to. For reals. It was so good that I can’t rush a blog post about it. It needs bullet points and links. Instead, I’m going to just tease you with this glorious…
taken on 8/30/2011 in the morning after the storm It’s been awhile no? Yes, it has been. Let me fill you in. Late last week the buzz started that this lady Irene was coming to town and she was planning on causing a ruckus. Any by Irene, I mean a hurricane. Long long long story…
I was recently talking with my friend about qualities that we found to be important in men we’d like to date – and perhaps some day raise children with.

It’s nearly the weekend – which feels incredible. I worked from home this week {which was magically relaxing} and ate my lunch outside any chance I could… including today. The upsides of eating lunch outside today? I got to listen to the construction workers nearby sing country music. Hello, handsome. Downside? A bird pooped on…
I’m thankful for the beach. This isn’t a breaking news alert for sure. But, I’m really thankful for quiet beach time. Last year I started getting up earlier to walk on the beach in the morning with a cup of coffee. Now, it is one of my favorite times to be there. Yes, an afternoon…
I hope I haven’t raised the bar with that title… and you think I’m talking about rolling tires through a field or something. I’m pretty much just referring to ice cream. Oh Saturday, I was hanging out with Little Brother at the house. An easy day of reading on the porch / hammock / yard…
taken in July 1980 When you’ve been married for 30 years, it normally is cause to have a few friends over and get your kids to make you a meal. So that’s what we did. When cooking for a dozen-ish people after a long week, it was a goal to make the meal as easy…
