TNP closed at 1pm the day before Thanksgiving which is fantastic. The lovely Kristen (and her husband who doesn’t read my blog) hosted this year in their new house. Our job was to make and deliver… My herby homemade bread….
Thanksgiving wrapup
It’s the holiday season, mofos! More importantly there’s only about 3 weeks until the sunshine starts coming back into my life so cheers to that. This year we had Thanksgiving at my cousin S’s house and I was asked to…
Currently, summer night edition
Relaxing out in the yard. I feel like we did a lot of outdoor work early in the summer, such as planting grass and ripping out 10,000 dandelions and setting up herb gardens, so it would be a shame to…
Sniffly Monday
I had a draft for Friday 5, but I fell asleep. Such are the breaks. I was off on Friday. Unfortunately the temp topped out at 70 and the sun was barely out so to the shore I did not…
Sunday Five: The Shine of a Thousand Spotlights
Happy Sunday! Yesterday Mom and I had the honor of escorting Nephew A to an Easter Egg Hunt at Paws Discovery Farm. It was an all-day event and the staff replenished the eggs regularly, making for a bunch of thrilled…
Stupid Sewing Tricks: Blanket for Nephew B
The Pinterest pin said it would take 30 minutes. It took three hours. But! It looks and feels like a baby blanket and I’m told newborn eyesight isn’t that good so it’ll be a while before he can grab a…
Friday 5: Mist It by That Much
We have a new nephew! For blog purposes, he is Nephew B, and his older brother is Nephew A. It works out really well that way. The lovely Kristen is doing well and my brother doesn’t read my blog anyway…
Currently on a Sunday Night
Watching: America Ninja Warrior episodes from this summer. When I’m doing hard things, I picture Akbar Gbajabiamila saying “I SEE YOU KIM! I SEE YOU!” I’d like to have fewer heart-tugging background stories and more runs, but it’s still a…
Fractured Fairy Tales
Woof. Finally the nonbloggable becomes bloggable – Mom (aka A-Woww) tripped and fell 2 weeks ago, fracturing her kneecap and shattering her elbow. The knee will heal on its own in an immobilizer which thankfully allows her to walk. The…
Currently, mid-April edition
Eating pounds of Easter bread that I baked this weekend. I am just a load of carbs, and I didn’t even have any Easter candy. Waiting for our grass out front to grow. We seeded it 10 hours ago and…
Florida travels
Longtime readers know that Dad retired to Florida about 10 years ago. I went down last September after Fall Business Trip #1, and decided to take a quick 4-day spring break trip this year. I mean, how could I pass…
Currently (post-party edition)
Today was my nephew’s birthday party. It was Daniel Tiger themed, and if you are a person of a certain age and aren’t exposed to Daniel Tiger, it’s adorable. It’s animated, but it’s a Mr. Rogers Neighborhood of Make Believe,…
