I’ve never been much of a sports watcher. I’ve always liked playing ’em but watching ’em? Not so much. Until we watched a Netflix show on Manchester City. And now I really look forward to their Saturday and Wednesday Premier League games. This afternoon we picked-up sandwiches from Lincoln deli…
We’re fortunate we get to eat a lot of meals together these days. Three squares really. I’m pretty sure Nate is skinny not so much because of all his running, but more because during mealtimes is when he’s running… his mouth. He’s a boy of few words, except when it’s lunch…
This week marks one full month from that dreaded Friday the 13th when an email from the school Superintendant, Dr. Prater, made this whole thing real. Now I look fondly upon that naive me that couldn’t imagine how we’d survive three weeks without school. And had never heard of Dr. Prater. …
When Jacob was little and lacked enough money and lost teeth to afford Pokémon cards, he started making his own. We have little tiny bits of paper everywhere of imaginative Pokémon cards with 1,000,000,000,000,000 health. I love them. At some point last year Jake offhandedly comments to me, “Mom, I’ve…

Everywhere we went the boys were busy loudly pointing out “Boomers.” They’re obsessed. It’s a bit like those days when little Jake would yell…
Over the July fourth holiday, we all headed to Flatrock. It’s a family tradition to bring all the cousins together for several days of roughin’ in the Pennsylvanian wilderness. Flatrock makes us all especially hungry for all the food. As we shopped at Weiss market for lunch supplies, I was…
Apparently it was Thursday.
The best thing that happened to me today was catching-up with Jennifer Anne on my walk to the beach. And Raven on my walk back.
Jacob and I are in a strongly committed reading relationship. Every morning and every night we read stories and it is so very special. According to my iPad library, we’ve read 51 books since we moved to SLO in June of 2016. We’re currently reading the latest in the Rick Riordan series…
