I love to dance. I love 80′s music. I love The Retros. They are a local 80′s cover band. We went to Pioneer Square and saw them last week. We went with 2 other couples and had a great time. We danced and laughed and I got to have fish tacos at Taco del Mar [...]

The Squeaky Wheel
I’m probably a little bitter, a little angry even. Maybe more than I know, or maybe more than I want to admit. You know the saying, “the squeaky wheel gets the grease”? I’m not very squeaky, and for that I am blessed. However, sometimes, we make choices so we don’t “squeak”. I think the fruit [...]

I’ve been thinking…
about how difficult it can be to be a mom. I see things on the news about some special award or recognition for a really hard-working mom. I guess I don’t really work hard? Good for her I guess, but that kinda stinks for the rest of us. As if there isn’t enough pressure. Watch [...]

Chocolate
For the last MOPS meeting, ALL the kids were brought in for the last half hour. Chaos! Here is a picture Joel and Olivia’s favorite thing to do after MOPS – eat the leftover grub! Livi wandered around eating much more than this chocolate muffin, she dove right into the fruit cocktail as well. She [...]

End of a Season
Thursday was a day if significance. It was my last day at MOPS as a discussion group leader. I have done it for 2 years at the MOPS group in Poulsbo. It has been a wonderful experience, and it has been a tough road at times. The first year was stressful because I walked in [...]

The women get decorating!
Yeah, yard work is great (I just love the look of a freshly trimmed lawn), but look at that yummy bed – with matching valance! What a great place to recover. We really wanted to paint too, but the fumes… not such a good recovery smell!!! Plus, it’s a little something for Lisa too, she [...]

The men get mowing
- and moving! Before Percy’s surgery the men bounced emails around and got a work party going! A nicely groomed lawn with mounds of dirt moved, rocks rolled, pipes sawed, trees pruned, and weeds whacked, makes a relaxing setting for Percy to gaze upon during the recovery period. This is the stuff of friendship and [...]

Wonder Boy
The are calling him “Wonder Boy”. Percy went in for heart surgery Wednesday morning, and the docs are saying he’ll probably be coming home this weekend! The docs were able to save his valve (which means he will not spend the rest of his life on blood thinners!), he does not have Marfans (which means [...]

Rain
“The rain it raineth on the just and also on the unjust fella; but chiefly on the just, because the unjust steals the just’s umbrella.” Sam Erwin – or Charles Bowen … I’ve seen credit given both! This witty verse reminds me of the feelings I had/have of a girl I knew in high school. [...]
Artsy Fartsy
“The smallest deed…
is better than the grandest intention.” Who said that? It’s brilliant. I am working to integrate this into my life. I find I focus so much mental energy on spectacular ideas that never benefit anyone, because they never get done! I’ve been wanting to send a card to a friend – oh and a box [...]
