We enjoyed a leisurely second day in Seattle, including a stroll to Green Lake and a cook-out on the Gypsy Cottage deck with George’s sister Judy, brother Tony, and Tony’s wife, Sharon. Judy, an ergonomics expert, works for Boeing and splits her time between Florida and Seattle. Tony, an electrical engineer, is on a 90-day […]

Here are a few photos from our adventure last night: The sign outside Molly Moon’s Ice Cream in Wallingford. Molly Moon’s introduced a new flavor, Bumberberry, in honor of the Bumbershoot Festival which will take place Labor Day weekend. (Bob Dylan is headlining this year!)

It was lovely for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that I got away from my East Texas home-sweet-sauna and got away to the yes-you-may-actually-need-a-jacket-here Rocky Mountains. Four generations of family members gathered to celebrate four family birthdays, and the centerpiece of this

Hello, WordPress, my old friend. I’ve come to talk with you again. (Simon and Garfunkel anyone?) To those of you who’ve stopped by the past couple months to see if perchance you might find a new post, thank you for not giving up on a very distracted first-time grandmother. True, while reveling in all things
Even though I’ve spent most of the past month soaking in the heaven-scented presence of newborn femininity, I have managed to log on long enough to read my favorite blogs, share baby photos, and post several Thursdays at The Master’s Artist. In case you happen to stop by this blog and not that one, I

In early 2009 I agreed to speak at a women’s conference in Seattle on April 23-24, 2010. In late August of ’09 our daughter called to share the exciting news that she was pregnant. Her due date? April 21. How convenient! The only major thing on my calendar around that time happened to be in
