When I pulled into the driveway yesterday, I noticed that someone had taped a large, long sign Over the picture window in our living room. The sign was in three colors, Congratulating my youngest brother For completing his first day of new training. I greeted him when he came home, tired but happy. He smiledContinueContinue reading “Sides of Love”

Summahtime: a night in the life
(The plant going all of the ways is actually parsley, though. The lavender is in the bag, still). And there you have it–tonight in a few snapshots. 🙂 ❤
The quickest of the quick takes
— 1 — It’s taken me years and years but, I finally convinced someone to come with me to a circus class. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I present: your boyyyyy! That’s a really, really nice looking foot lock, Mr. Josh! (All day long he meant to say, “Cirque du Soleil” when we wereContinueContinue reading “The quickest of the quick takes”
Family life family time
I live with my family. The direction we’re going is: in Catholic culture, we talk a lot about “community life” meaning, that life when you’re living with other people. And usually the verdict is that it’s hard and rough and requires virtue and more virtue to make it through. Maybe. But, I’m partial to thatContinueContinue reading “Family life family time”
SO THEN BABY JOSH GRADUATED and other newsworthy items
Well. Well, well, well (dun! dun! dah dun! (That’s not my favorite song of hers, btw. This one is better. So is this one)). Last week is over. That was fun. Stuff and stuff and more stuff!! So many responsibilities! So many obligations! So little time left over for blogging (sorry, blog!) How can IContinueContinue reading “SO THEN BABY JOSH GRADUATED and other newsworthy items”
These daily moments
On Friday my youngest brother turned older because it was his birthday. In my family, sometimes, if you’re lucky, you get to pick what you have for dinner when it’s your birthday, and Josh has picked Kentucky Fried Chicken every year for the past many (to my mother’s chagrin), so that was what happened onContinueContinue reading “These daily moments”
My personal 15 Triduum favorites
This year I visited with friends and parted with, “Merry Triduum!” because I wasn’t sure of the correct greeting. But then a different friend wished me an “Epic Triduum” which fits better, doesn’t it? I didn’t take pictures of the events on Friday or Saturday. Sometimes it’s just better to be present than to rushContinueContinue reading “My personal 15 Triduum favorites”
May Crafting Challenge!
Way back in middle school I knew a dude named “Gabe,” and he signed up for the Crafting Challenge! (For May. I did complete this in May, by the way…just didn’t post until now). Now, I don’t really see Gabe around all that often…but I did run into him at the family’s Snowball in JanuaryContinueContinue reading “May Crafting Challenge!”
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”
Josh is a gooberfish. Episode 5,000
I work relatively normal working hours. This is because I am an old woman with a degree and a steady job. The same cannot be said for the other members of my family, though. I have three siblings who live with me in the same house–all three still at various stages in their college careers.ContinueContinue reading “Josh is a gooberfish. Episode 5,000”
