craigslist: the tables? no!
Ok Julie. Yes, you are giving me a kick-in-the-pants, that has a sense of being kicked-while-I’m-down. (oh, that came across quite sad – I was going more for clever). So this whole Craiglist topic brought up an issue for me. You have all gotten to be an eye witness to the woes of my kitchen, [...]

eat pray love.
I found the book read therapeutic, and the movie topped it off. Regardless of how connected Julia personally was to the part she played, I feel akin to Elizabeth’s seeker’s heart. Trying to find the balance of wanting more, and being right where I am. The language caused me to pull my journal and pencil [...]
decison made: massage.
I went for the massage. In attempt to not repeat going into another Monday feeling life-less and drained, I chose some self care. As wise women have told me, self care is not selfish. Self care is of the utmost importance. And if all else fails there’s the ol’ standby: if mama ain’t happy, ain’t [...]

adventure for dannyboy.
A first for dannyboy. With cousin Grif he begins his own extended stay in Colorado as an official camper. Winding up the log framed path are these adorable a-frame cabins. Just plunked here and there with humble pride. Something about their littleness and sturdiness both kill me. The front lined porch is practical, fitting and [...]
the teen’s life.
Being away. Still in the sweet phase of Teen life she went to Eagle Lake Camp in Colorado about a month ago. I am just antsy and curious to see her life here. Seeing this sign on the way in… Not so sure how I’m supposed to feel. I mean, is shooting an issue? (so [...]

almost there.
The drive into the camp. I want to say “what does it mean?” but I will spare you. Truly it is one of my favorite parts of entering my bro and sis in laws home. After driving and driving, you bump along this gravel road, over a hill to this vast and wide space. My [...]
and we’re off! (almost)
A little later than expected. My dad just called to see how Mr. C is doing in our car ride, my reply “we haven’t left yet.” And the Nana and Papa chuckle. Getting closer. Feel free to hope on our behalf that this smiley attitude sticks lasts a long while for Mr. C. Soon to [...]
a blanket thanks.
Julie, yes, I adore blankies. I’m glad you’ve noticed. And I love the introduction to dottie angel, I am smitten. I dragged a bankie around as a little tot and they still have appeal to me. They say “come and sit with me – - stay as long as you like.” I want people to [...]
i’m it: craigslist.
