Today I am thankful for clean laundry. It happens so infrequently around here that most of the laundry in the house is cleanish or at least not scattered on anyone’s floor that I get really excited when I think it might happen. It never actually happens, of course, because all of the people in this [...]

Today I am thankful for bananas. Those crazy yellow fruits are so versatile and yummy. You can cut them up into cereal for a breakfast treat; you can smother them in peanut butter for a snack; you can mush them up to feed to the baby and, of course, you can throw them at each [...]

A few months ago I came upon Arianna and Justice coming down the stairs very slowly because, they explained, Justice was carrying Invisible Bob down the stairs.

There was a movie made a couple of years ago called Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. As soon as I saw the trailer for it I knew I wanted to see this movie and I was pretty sure I would love it. I got it, I watched, I loved it. The story was different than I [...]

Last night Raquel and I went out to dinner as sort of a “You’re leaving for two and a half weeks so we should do something fun” celebration. We went to FlatTop Grill then wandered over to Borders that was having a fun clearance sale. I found Eats, Shoots and Leaves in the clearance box [...]
