Based on the timeframes from my agency, I ballparked Devin’s arrival for early November. Well, I was off. Good for us — Devin’s coming home eight days from now. He’ll be jetting from Seoul to Tokyo to Detroit on October 19th! So now we’re scrambling around the house, trying to […]
Go, Matt!
Yet another Rochester Hills pic We’re attending the Grand Haven–Grandville football game tonight. I haven’t been to a high-school football game since…well, since I was in high school. We’re going to be rooting for the Buccaneers and Matt Wade, varsity footballer extraordinaire. I’ve known Matt since he was eight and […]
He’s approved!
Snapped in Rochester Hills Sorting through the mail today, I spied an official-looking letter from Citizenship & Immigration. Finally! We’d been waiting for Devin’s visa approval. That’s the big step when the U.S. clears him for travel into the country and then forwards the approval to Korea. So, we’re hoping, […]
It’s not a diet, it’s a way of life
It’s that time of year again I was diagnosed with low blood sugar, hypoglycemia, about five years ago. I suspected I had it for a few years before that, though. You just never wanted to mess around with me when I’d gone too long without food. It was a bad […]
Bread pudding
I won’t quit my day job to become a food stylist, that’s for sure. This Sausage, Apple and Onion Bread Pudding smelled (and tasted) oodles better than this picture could possibly convey.
Bruuuuuuce
Rogue River Dam We attended the R.E.M.-Bruce Springsteen-John Fogerty-Bright Eyes concert in Detroit Sunday night. Much good music. Much loudness. Much bouncing in my seat. Much screaming and applauding. Much fun. While I was there to see (finally!) Michael Stipe and fellas, the rest of the crowd was definitely there […]
A day at the dog park
Making friends Today was Dog Day Saturday. We’re pretty excited that this is finally happening in Grand Rapids, after two long years of petitions, city commission meetings and planning with the parks department. Even though Pete’s unsociable behavior makes him canine non grata, Scott has taken part in the committee […]
I can’t watch
Hay awaiting the hayriders A half hour was all I could stand. I abhor conflict (even though I can be amazingly argumentative about some things) — no matter the topic or the participants. I also really, really, really don’t like our current prez all that much. So I have a […]
Me and the three smokestacks
Dan — he went over to the dark side Photoshoot. Interview. Video. Yesterday was a full one. I was so very, very happy when our huge, black, rented Suburban hit the airport return lot and we hopped back onto our home turf. It’s work so you don’t expect it to […]
Funny man
These crazy little boys are throwing cheeseballs to the geese. Cheeseballs! Anyone who’s met my husband has at least sampled his humor. His goal is to be funny 24 hours a day. Yet some of his funniness is funnier than others. Then there’s this little gem from yesterday: “Let’s head […]
