My oldest sister and her fiance eloped back in October. Of 1983.
So this weekend, we’re going to their wedding reception.
Mr. B and I are finally painting our master bedroom. For once, I am NOT appreciating what a nice, large room it is.
We are here in Music City for a couple of days. Naturally, we came for the music. HS’s girlfriend is giving a recital, so we decided to make the trip. Should be interesting, as we will be meeting her family for the first time. Perhaps it’s a good thing that I’ve [...]
No one asked why I chose to come to upstate New York in the wintertime. So I’ll tell you.
Several months ago my sister told me that her son (aka my nephew AND godson) was trying out for the spring musical at his high school. While he’s done some acting, including playing the lead [...]

When HS was a baby, a friend gave me a photo album covered with Christmas fabric. For some long-forgotten reason, she had decided to call him “Ace,” and had that embroidered on the album. I decided to keep it as a photo record of his Christmases. The album itself was one of [...]

I left town Friday afternoon to visit a friend, getting back earlier this afternoon. I gave Mr. B one assignment before I left.

He forgot.
Good thing I’d already bought the chips and salsa, or we’d probably face deportation for un-American activities.
UPDATE: Who needs beer? GIANTS WIN!!!!!!!

Readers with excellent memories and too much interest in other people’s lives may remember that we were a little late getting our Christmas tree last year.
This year we’re doing better. We bought the tree on Saturday. True to form, we left it outside for a day or two. Since it kept raining, [...]

We bought a new car on Friday. It’s a bright red Honda Fit–a teeny tiny hatchback with great gas mileage. BD proclaimed it “so dorky it’s kind of cool.” In true tween fashion, that opinion lasted about half an hour. This morning she begged me to take her to school in [...]

HS arrives home tomorow night from his third summer running workcamps for church youth groups. But this time he won’t be heading south right away to start another semester in Tennessee. He’ll be starting graduate school much closer to home.
But he’s decided (and we agree) that living at home is perhaps not such a great idea. [...]
