So if you have followed my blog at all you know we recently bought a new house and moved in last fall. This house was absolutely turn key. It needed nothing which is a big deal in our rainy little town where nature likes to take over. Anyway, Scott was skeptical, and maybe thought I … Continue reading Wallpaper Update and Create

Cheesy Goodness
Right now I am eating a grilled cheese sandwich. In the morning. At school. On Friday. Friday is grilled cheese for breakfast day. For adults. For kids. For anyone who is hungry. Kids get off the bus, grab a sandwich and eat the cheesy goodness then go out to play. Other days it is oatmeal. … Continue reading Cheesy Goodness
That Could Have Been My Life
I watched the most adorable video of a mamma moose and her two calves playing on a lawn in Anchorage. The grass was green, green, green and there were mature shrubs and trees. The calves were frolicking, running in circles through a sprinkler and around and around their mamma. It is funny the things that … Continue reading That Could Have Been My Life
Music Makes Me…
Like so much of my writing, this blog will begin with: "I read this post on Facebook." It was from the New York Times and it asked.... "5 minutes that will make you love classical music." The gist was, what five minute section of a classical song would you play for someone to make them … Continue reading Music Makes Me…
Worse Than Karaoke
Last night I did the scariest thing in the world. I told a story at a "Story Slam!" It was really full and the lights were really bright and my legs were shaking really bad. It was really crazy! The theme was, "Where there is smoke there is fire." I didn't even know the theme … Continue reading Worse Than Karaoke
The Best Kind of Picture
In the better late than never category, I decided it was high time I jotted a little something about the Holidays. There is picture my husband has on his phone that sums up the tone of our Holidays. It is in the cabin we rented at the Ski area. He took it from the loft … Continue reading The Best Kind of Picture
Teacups, A Poem
Home sick today, with an extremely bad cold, I have been drinking copious amounts of coffee and tea (and water, yes I know it is good for me!). With Kleenex in hand, and in my pajamas, I immersed myself in writing and I came across one of the *very first* blog posts I wrote called … Continue reading Teacups, A Poem
Silver Tide
Last night the Blood moon, a luminous red marble, stunning and simple. Today a quiet house, a break in the rain and opportunity to write a bit, and even though my "to do" list is longer than I can possibly accomplish, I take a break and spend time drinking coffee and staring out the window, … Continue reading Silver Tide
Close Call in the Library
Just a little anecdote from my day that is too long for facebook, but made me laugh... It is first grade library time, they enter right after recess and sit on the carpet ready to hear a story. That is when I noticed the brown substance on the carpet. "Freeze everyone, Freeze!" Eyeing the substance … Continue reading Close Call in the Library
Between Clover and Dampened Earth
The Farmer's Field Today I walk With my lover, My footstep light, Careful Against the dewy ground, His steps Strong. Steady. Morning mist, Ethereal, Magical, Curls around us, Secretive. Dreamy. And it is only He and I, There in the fog. We walk without words, Our footsteps Our breath Make soft sounds, Yet the … Continue reading Between Clover and Dampened Earth
