We laughed a lot this weekend

Full confession: I haven’t straight-read any of St. Benedict’s stuff. But I did read Mama Monk’s series and a book called “Radical Hospitality” and if I ever got a tattoo I would get the St. Benedict’s medal on my back. (For the record, I would also get that little cross tatted into my wrist ifContinueContinue reading “We laughed a lot this weekend”

Stuff I’ve been working on

Here is a picture of Paul doing garbage stuff. This morning he took the trash out and this afternoon he took it back. No one asked. Bam. Adulthood. Thanks, Paw. Paul and I are the only normal-job ones in the Casa. My dad kind of counts, but he also kind of doesn’t considering he earns,ContinueContinue reading “Stuff I’ve been working on”

A list of things that are beautiful. By me.

I’m admittedly the only person on the internet who isn’t like, “Hooray, fall!!11! I love sweaters!!” because, while I respect your love of sweaters, I REALLY LIKE SLEEVELESS TANKS.

In true form, we usually attend and then chat out ourContinueContinue reading “Five Wedding Shower pointers from the Flower Girl”

La la la. — 1 — Yesterday we had a lovely gathering for people who walked the Camino with us…both this past summer and the past time around. Bob provided a lovelyContinueContinue reading “Seven Quick Takes–a mid-August edition!”

Monday, Monday. Wherein I ask for input.

I was walking around the city today and I came across this man who talked to me about gluten-free Matzoh and cold soups and kosher deli-meat. His name is Sandy. We were both sitting outside listening to some jazz at an outdoor stage when he inquired about the soup I was eating (recipe link, thanksContinueContinue reading “Monday, Monday.
