We made a decision. We chose House number one. We made an offer Friday before we left town. It was really pretty crazy how fast things moved. We left the appointment with the realtor, went to the two bedroom apartment above Whole Foods, and then to lunch, where we had a burger and a beer, … Continue reading
As I told you yesterday, we started Wednesday, May 30th (a mere week ago) believing that we would be living in an apartment. In our “we can do anything for a year” mode, we had decided that if need be, we could put the two boys, Jason, me, the cat, and the dog all into … Continue reading
Omigosh, we’re moving to Portland! So, it turns out one (this one anyway) can’t get a house ready to sell, look for and try to buy another house 300 or so miles away, deal with end of the school year stuff, and support one’s husband in job changes and selling the beloved Volkswagon Vanagon without … Continue reading

Every week I like to come up with a fun and/or useful app to share with you. This week I’m behind schedule because… well, it doesn’t really matter. The end result is that Thursday morning’s 6:00 am post is coming out sometime later on Friday. Not the end of the world. So, on to the … Continue reading
Today’s Yarn along post is the non– yarn along… We are on spring break and I had good intentions of getting lots done on my Churchmouse linen scarf. However, the lure of the water and the sunny playtime with my family pulls me to the pool and away from my knitting. That’s a good thing … Continue reading
I have referred in the past to “Jolene,” and it seemed appropriate to me that I should post about the origin of the saying while we are on vacation in Palm Springs. You see, that’s where it all began three years ago. Some of you know my two sons, J & S (remember, I’m supposed … Continue reading
