The Important Things

November 30, 2007 By 13 Comments

I can never say the word "tradition" without thinking of Fiddler on the Roof. In honor of the holiday season, I’m going to re-run a series of posts I wrote last year, sharing about our family traditions.  Actually, I’m going to use them as an outline, but I plan to edit and revise and tweak [...]

The Big Blue Chair

November 29, 2007 By 4 Comments

The big blue chair came to us when we were a young, childless couple.  My husband’s grandmother was downsizing.  We thought the comfy La-Z-Boy might come in handy some day, so we accepted it and stuck it in the spare room in our cozy little rented twin.  Husband and I used to snuggle together in [...]

Ann tagged her readers with this meme, and frankly, yall, I’m kinda scared of her.  So I figured I better snap to it.  Wouldn’t want her coming over here and reprimanding me, now would I? Here’s the deal.  Type the answer to each question into a Google image search, and then pick an image from [...]

Peanut Butter Goodness In A Pan

November 26, 2007 By

Then I have black lace-up dressy sneakers sort of like these except with black laces and gray stripes on the sides.

November 25, 2007 By

We’re home!  We’re unpacked!  We survived!  We left Virginia this morning at black-o’clock AM.  I think it was somewhere between 3:00 and 3:30.  We all fell asleep (all meaning the kids and me — Husband was our chauffeur so he had to stay awake) and woke up three-and-a-half hours later in Pennsylvania.  It was such [...]
