TToT – Summertime
There’s something special about summertime… The daylight lasts longer… Time seems to move a bit slower… Even the busy days feel a bit less structured and demanding. There is time to breathe, to inhale deeply, and to live deliberately… We are one week into our official summer break and have filled it with wonderful moments…
TToT – Short Week
The short week after a Monday holiday is always a particular kind of hell. In theory, it’s a great thing. You get to skip Monday and only face four days of the regular week – whatever your regular might be – before it’s weekend time all over again. But. In a short week after a…
TToT – Simple Practicality
There is nothing quite so satisfying as practical wisdom. While I suppose it’s presumptuous to call myself “wise,” I can at least admit honestly that I found several occasions this week that called for some practical application of knowledge and somehow I got it right! And in the spirit of being practical, I need to…
TToT – Upright
I am upright. In fact, I’ve been upright for pretty much the entire day. That’s a major accomplishment considering I’ve been in bed sick since Sunday night – and when I say in bed since Sunday night, I’m not kidding. You know you’re seriously down for the count when you only leave the bed to…
TToT – The Blooming
I finally have pictures of our trees. The dearth of visual evidence of spring here hasn’t been for lack of trying. Well, OK, it has been for a little lack of trying. I can’t say I always remember to take my phone or camera with me when I take my walks, but I’m choosing to call…
TToT – Between All the Things
Until this afternoon, I have only been home to sleep. We are on the go! If I’m getting this TToT in at all, it has to be right now while we’re home for a few hours in between all the things. Here we go…
TToT – Let’s Just Do This
Hello, Friends. I’ve been flying only a bit above radar lately. I think I’ll be back to posting a bit in the week ahead. In particular, you should stop by on Tuesday, April 14th because I will be hosting a little virtual interview with the lovely Tamara Woods of PenPaperPad. Come check that out. Now…
Confession Time
Friends, I’ve been hiding in a hole a bit. I took a break from the Internet for a few days because I wanted to and needed to. And then I kind of didn’t want to come back to it. Ever. I guess I’m going through a bit of an introspective period. Trying to figure things…
Spring Break
I’m taking a break this week, friends. The Hub, Zilla, and I will be enjoying Holy Week, Easter, and Passover together over the next several days. I’ll be back again after Easter. We wish all of you a good holiday!
Soup of the Week – Green Soup Surprise and a Side Car
Life is full of surprises, isn’t it? Just about the time we felt sort of confident about the arrival of spring, temps dropped into the ridiculous range. Despite the warm temps today, the wind blew cold and the forecast says snow again. It may be just “a quick clipper,” but still. No matter the temperature, though,…
