Twenty seven years ago today I gave birth to my first child, Christopher. He was everything I had hoped and prayed for. He makes me laugh; he makes me think; he has made me a better person. I love you, Chris!
French Friday – Dreaming of Paris
I just celebrated my 48th birthday and decided that I’m going to start planning for a 50th birthday trip to Paris. This is something I’ve always wanted to do and what better time? I pulled out an old calendar, cut out a picture of the Eiffel Tower and slipped it inside the cover…
Thursday Three…A Fresh Start
Perhaps it’s all those years of school but September has always felt like a new beginning to me, almost as much as January. As the temperature cools and the quality of light changes, I am inspired to shake off the languid attitude of summer and re-evaluate my life and goals. The fact that my birthday…
Wonderful Weekend…

Priorities…

We went up to see my brother and his family to celebrate our niece’s birthday and an early Christmas. David and Modoc…chillin’ Wipe out! Merry Christmas! Happy birthday, Alyssa! Lisa loves Huck.

Best Birthday Ever!
My birthdays have always been rather low-key affairs…cake and ice cream with cousins when I was a kid, dinner out with family as an adult. Sometimes David and I also go away for a night which is always nice. This year was different, though. It started out with the usual dinner at a restaurant with…
