It’s been a long while since I’ve written a Friday post, but I’m feeling inclined this morning to get a head start on the weekend. We don’t have big plans – just a little babysitting of our niece, Miss Morgan, tomorrow (yay!) and then catching up on life, otherwise known as groceries, laundry, fall garden […] Read more…
This guy started middle school – 6th grade! – yesterday. He didn’t seem overly nervous about it. Yes, he was a little anxious, declaring it seemed awkward to walk down to the end of the street by himself to catch the bus. (He actually has never ridden the bus to elementary school; I have always dropped him off […] Read more…
I’m going to admit something to you. Growing up, my family didn’t seem like we were really a “State Fair” kind of family. We didn’t go every year. We weren’t in 4-H so we didn’t have anything to show. We didn’t really miss the fair if we didn’t go. In Minnesota, this seems like a dangerous […] Read more…
I can’t believe it’s Sunday night already. And it’s weird because I think I’m a little sad that Teacher Man goes back to school tomorrow.

These will be random observations, so if you were hoping to read a well-constructed blog post tonight, you’re a bit out of luck. My brain is just not working that way right now. 😉 We found out today that this […] Read more…
You may not hear from me for a while but I have a good excuse. It’s called vacation. We’re in Hawaii – Teacher Man and Joe, along with my parents. Lots of memory making! Today it’s all about Kaanapali Beach in Lahaina, Maui. We’ll also do some sightseeing when we’re here. I’ll catch you […] Read more…
I’m not in a writing mood tonight. I don’t know why. I mean, it is a little – okay, a lot – weird for me to say that. But rather than fight it and write something dorky or stupid, I’m just going to share a few of my favorite photos from the weekend with just […] Read more…
A week or so, I had the most vivid dream about my Grandma Anderson – or Grandma Inez (pronounced “Eye-niss”), as all of us grandkids called her. She passed away when I was 19, but I had many years of memory-making with her. Although my grandparents lived on their farm over two hours from me, […] Read more…
