My husband, Mat, and Abbey were a part of a wedding this weekend. Now I would never show wedding picutures before the bride and groom see the photographer’s photos. I just wouldn’t steal their thunder like that. It’s tacky, but here are a few candid, personal shots of my folks that are unrelated to the [...]

My new love are the YouTube clips of Wicked the Broadway musical about the tale of the Wicked Witch of the West of Oz fame. I am so wild [...]

Just close enough
Graze skin, note eye color

I have been spinning Mary Chapin Carpenter’s cd The Calling. (I am also reading a book by Robert Coles, more L’Engle stuff, and Dostoevsky so not all pressure for my ranting here falls on MC2) I really am provoked by her cd. Maybe it’s one of those [...]

Current mood: blessed

Once upon a time I met some ladies online. I wasn’t expecting friendships of the nature I am blessed with. It just began as conversations and cool photos. I have come to find that they are generous with friendships.
