Pandancing Academy
Is that the cutest name, or what? I am officially a certificate-earning member of the Pandancing Academy and couldn’t be more proud. If you know me in live form, you know I’m extremely uncoordinated. Back in high school, in Driver’s Education, I failed the drunk driver test — completely sober — because I can’t walk…

A Tale of Teeth
Today my kids shared a picture of Avalon feeding herself “real” un-pureed food. Last time I saw her in person, she was beginning to explore food that didn’t come in a bottle. How is time going so fast? She now has two teeth almost ready to use. One broke through the gum already, and the…

Easter 2020
Gotta admit. That was one of my favorite Easter Sundays ever. No fancy dresses, no muss no fuss. I woke up at the crack of 10 am (how lazy can one get?) so I’d be ready for 10:30 Zoom church. A few minutes later, Zeb called and we got to talk with Zeb, Bri, Mollie…

The Incredible Timing of Time With Friends

Make Safe Online Purchases
I don’t know about you, but my online ordering has recently had an uptick. I’m waiting for my groceries to be delivered as I type. It’s something I have never done before. It’s really quite amazing to realize how easily we used to run to the store for small items. Can you believe I ran…

A Whole New World
How I wish you all could meet my 86-year-old mom-in-law. She’s amazing. I think if she were young in the world today, she would be a computer programmer. But she also still has the traditional homey gifts of cooking and sewing, etc. For me that’s an either/or. I can rock a computer…but sewing? Not so…

The Beach Playground
We are fortunate here in northern NY. I hear other places such as Novia Scotia have closed their beaches, but our beaches remain open. They are more crowded than usual, but people are doing a great job of keeping the minimum 6-foot distance. We take turns going through narrow passages on bridges and to parking…

A New Reality
I kind of didn’t want to write about the Coronavirus. It’s filling our social media feeds and affecting all our lives, and it seems so overwhelming at times. Then again, it would be silly to go through this part of history and not document the experience. Twenty years from now when our lives are thriving…
Word Quilt
I don't sew, but I write — patching together pieces of my life.
