Putting the table on the deck is our way of ushering in warmer weather
Kicking butt
Yeah, baby! Kickboxing class kicked off (haha) last night. I was a bit worried. I’ve only gone to group classes a couple of times in my life since I prefer to attempt such athletic feats solo. I’ve done Tae Bo and I have a kickboxing video that I’ve worked with […]
Family time
Hollyhock from my mom Had a lovely Easter luncheon. Ham, sour-cream mashed potatoes, green beans with carmelized onions, whole-wheat popovers, fruit salad, and pear ginger crisp for dessert. As I came downstairs with my camera to photograph my crisp, the hubby had already dumped it into a container. Argh. Ah, […]

Bob, I’m appalled
Hyacinth breaking free Sitting in front of the television last night, totally engrossed in my shameful addiction (Troy, what happened?), one glass of wine mellowing me nicely, my serene mood was shattered when I spied Mr. Bob Dylan strutting across the screen in a Victoria’s Secret commercial. What the? I […]
Mother’s little helpers
When the ladders appear, so do my girls To make good on my project commitment, I dove right into things yesterday. Namely the painting tasks. And the minute I pulled out the ladder and step stool, I had myself some companions. They loved the dropcloth too. Anything they can do […]
