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!) Fremont Abbey Arts Center asked Curtis and Grace to busk in front of the shop last […]

Yesterday I returned from a lovely Colorado get-away. 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

Lately I’ve had blog paralysis. The mere thought of posting overwhelms me. It’s not lack of material, but rather the opposite. I don’t know if I should go back and tell stories from the holidays (they were fun and great) or post photos (I’ve taken a lot) or talk about what’s going on now (way

I meant to include this little guy in yesterday’s post. Grace spotted him in a bush right off the Greenlake trail as we walked by. Actually, I’m not sure if he’s a small rat or a biggish mouse, but I think he’s kind of cute. Don’t you? This evening I speak at Beit Tikvah Girls
Last night I officially launched The Great Northwest Speakathon when I spoke to the Northwest Christian Writers Association on the topic of “Language as Soundtrack.” What a great group of fun, lovely writers! If I lived in the area I would definitely be a part of that action. Thanks again to Athena Dean for inviting

Yesterday my super-organized-party-planner friend, Jill, sent an e-mail to a bunch of college friends who will gather in December for a Christmas party. She wanted us to all go ahead and select the recipes we wish to bring (perhaps because she expects us to shop for ingredients in early November?). *Insert mental exclamation mark here*

Last night, while George took a shower and I washed my face, we had one of those conversations that has no doubt commonly occurred between long-married couples in every culture throughout the generations. After a brief exchange about Nostradamus, he (naturally) asked, “Do you know when the Roman Empire collapsed?” Me: “Um . . .

Most mornings when I wake up, the first thing I do is get my bearings. I tell myself what day it is and state the most important thing(s) on my agenda. Out loud. And no, I’m not joking. I don’t know if I’m a heavy sleeper or what, but I usually wake up in a
Yesterday we sampled Chiang Mai. Today’s special: a Phuket smorgasbord. Enjoy!
