Day 185: Interdepend
OK, OK–I’ve probably already used up my yearly allotment of bad puns and made-up words, but I couldn’t help myself today. Just a short post to note that on a day celebrating “independence,” it’s worth taking a moment to acknowledge … Continue reading
Day 176: Lighten

Day 167: Wane
So it’s back into the thick of it at the house. We have junk everywhere right now. The pod out front is half full (I guess I’m an optimist, right?), boxes are everywhere in various states of packing, and there’s … Continue reading

You know, I was all set to write about fishing–to tell you about simple pleasures, bringing my kids out to the lake, etc. I even had a cute picture of my youngest holding her first ever cast-out-on-her-own-and-reel-it-on-in catch. But driving … Continue reading
