Snail Mail I captured the lost art of letter writing today. Well, I wrote a letter anyhow. Pen to paper. No words or pseudo-words were scrawled out with the exclusive use of my thumbs. It felt so good to start a greeting with these words, “To My Dearest Uncle…” My Uncle Wayne, (near the end [...]

How to Make an Old Closet into a Play Room in 9 steps Note: I’ll spare you the real before photo of our pre-attic closet disaster,  and go straight for the cute photos of how to make room for the play room. I know, it hurts my before-and-after loving gene, not to have documentation of [...]

Board Game ReVamp

Got Junk? I do. Take this dying old board game for example. I purchased this Bob the Builder game at a thrift store for $2. Upon returning home, I immediately plucked the battery-operated, medium sized, Scoop (character) from the game, that was, after all, why I purchased the game in the first place. So, what [...]

Welcome 2009! We had a merry-filled evening with good cheer, french bread with olive oil and cracked pepper, and loved ones (Neat Pete’s brother Tim and our sis-in-law, Lisa). Ry got to stay up late, 9:30 p.m., to celebrate. He had no idea what the big deal was about New Years, he just wanted the [...]

I am not tempted to make a check-mark on my list called, “Take down Christmas”.  My bathroom’s red and green fingertip towels are in no danger of being sequestered to the attic any time soon. I love the twinkle lights, in and on my home, that brighten the dark, wintry nights that lie ahead. The [...]

As if unexpected car repairs (leaving me stranded in a snow storm for an hour); leaky faucets (ruining everything under the sink and more); a goose egg on my dear Molly’s fore-head; and watching my G-ma GG come near to the end of her days is not enough…my Uncle passed away 7 days before Christmas.

I feel like I am sitting down with an old friend as I open my blog tonight.  My new ballerina-style fuzzy slippers are warming my toes. I am finally drinking water after drinking exclusively spiced cider, marshmallow-cocoa or specialty coffee for last who-knows how many days. Dry furnace air and hauling kids around makes me [...]

Apple Orchard Day with Family Lil’ Miss Molly sat on her tuffet eating her apples and whey. Aunt Carly’s “cute” apple Uncle John (Neat Pete’s little brother) heroically jumped to give pick for her in the orchard lane. Uncle Tim (Neat Pete’s middle brother) and Ry strut their stuff through the orchard. Aunt Lisa showed [...]
