Saturday in Stratford!

Yaaaay yay yay! Saturday in Stratford! We started out in the morning and didn’t return until 2 a.m. the next night…but it was super fun. We saw two plays, both purchased because there was an online deal, although I was actually interested in seeing Measure for Measure. So we saw Measure for Measure, a ShakespeareContinueContinue reading “Saturday in Stratford!”

What I did Thursday

So, it’s pretty likely that I have funny, talented friends and that someone approached me and was like, “Hey, I’m throwing an event. Could your improv troupe come and perform?” And I was all, “Ummm, I don’t really have an improv troupe…but, OK!” And then I picked some of my favorite teammates and asked ifContinueContinue reading “What I did Thursday”

Five Wedding Shower pointers from the Flower Girl

I feel like I could have earned the girl scout badge for wedding-participation this weekend. Shower on Friday, wedding stuff day on Saturday, another shower on Sunday. That’s three couples/ three weddings…one weekend! Now, I attend the wedding showers with my dear sister Christine. In true form, we usually attend and then chat out ourContinueContinue reading “Five Wedding Shower pointers from the Flower Girl”

What Memorial Day Weekend looked like, according to my camera

I left work on Friday in high spirits, I guess, as I took this picture of traffic on my way home. Please note, that blue sky is deceiving. Friday was a night slated for a garden party with girlfriends and crafts and lemonade. Alas, it was too chilly, so I had to move indoors andContinueContinue reading “What Memorial Day Weekend looked like, according to my camera”

Current status: aware of my mosquito bites

So I spent time with this gorgeous face on Sunday. Together we hiked a mini-Camino. We were banished from the real group (more on that later, alligator). See the lilac picture? It represents a larger theme, you see. Today, in my office I mainly focus on those lilacs…and the shining water. And they were beautiful!ContinueContinue reading “Current status: aware of my mosquito bites”

People who have visited my house in one week: a sociological experiment

Sometimes we joke that our house could be the feature of a television show–all types of characters coming and going, eating our food (even when we’re not home), hanging out and being ridiculous. It occurred to me that I would, for one week, take a photograph of everyone who cycled through the house. I startedContinueContinue reading “People who have visited my house in one week: a sociological experiment”

Prepping for a Camino

Yesterday we had one of our first full-blown meetings to prepare for the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage we’ll be taking this summer. Our friend and Chaplain celebrated mass for us which is THE BEST. Nothing like focusing on the most important things. Then everyone chatted and got to know each other briefly. We’ll all getContinueContinue reading “Prepping for a Camino”

Fun on a Friday

Yesterday evening I had dinner-and-lovely-conversation at this lady’s house. And we were joined by Kathryn and groomsman Dave and Colleen’s man-to-be, Mark. It was one of those nights were everyone is just friends, you know? And we ate wholesome, lovely, homemade food and shared about our lives and Hazel-the-cat showcased her skill of jumping highContinueContinue reading “Fun on a Friday”
