And Liza starts preschool tomorrow.
We stepped outside this morning to take this photo and there was a cool breeze blowing. Nice change of pace to the hot weather we’ve been subjected to most of the summer. The summer is over and I’m glad to see it go. I’d like very much now to settle into [...]
The first time I heard U2 was 1986. A friend let me borrow “The Unforgettable Fire” on cassette tape. I fell in love with “Pride (In the Name of Love)” and was pretty much hooked.

I cut it out of the local paper several years ago and the writer claims it’s from the back of the Hershey’s Cocoa box. I [...]
Several folks have asked me today about Eli’s birthday cake from the photo in the previous post.
I made the cake Thursday afternoon from our favorite chocolate cake recipe.
Then my mom and I decorated it Friday morning. It is a retired Williams-Sonoma cake pan that I bought on a whim when they were closing it [...]
I’m a bit obsessed right now with keeping my ravelry.com page updated with photos of the work I’ve done. This is my Granny Square Shrug I re-finished this weekend. (I finished it the first time over Thanksgiving but it was WAY too big.) So I had to take it apart and make it a bit [...]
