Trying to get back on schedule
Well, we’re in our first full week of school. I’m trying to organize things around here so I can set some time aside in the AM to blog. I have many travel posts to put up and have procrastinated as usual! I seem to be having a hard time adjusting to all this free time [...]
I’m back!
Whew, what a week! Why is it that the last few days before school starts always speed by? Today is registration, which really means a couple of hours on campus for Roxi to pick up her schedule and attend a “town hall” meeting. Today is also the day the middle school musical is announced, so [...]
Thoughts becoming things*
Sweet flowers in a meadow not far from my home. England. This post is inspired by my blogging pal Alyson of New England Living. She and I had a short exchange in my comments section yesterday about voicing our dreams and “putting things out there” for the Universe to help with. It reminded me of [...]
Blah, blah, bleh
A heart shaped puddle I found last month. It’s raining again here. Do you ever have those days when your brain just won’t be quiet? Yesterday was one of those days for me. Recently, I started a family Yahoo Group for my Dad’s side of the family. As moderator, I feel it is my responsibility [...]
39 and 11/12ths (or why I’m OK with turning 40)
At the end of this month, I’ll be 40. There! I’ve said it. And actually, since my last birthday, I’ve practiced saying it to myself like a chant: fuh-fuh-fuh-forty, FOUR-tee, four-TEE. The BIG four-oh. What’s got me thinking about it today is last night I read Sarah Laurence’s post on turning 40, and all I [...]
Feed me!
Though it looks like this fellow has engaged the attention of those frisky otters, he is actually feeding the ducks (not pictured, too bad because there were some darling little ducklings!). The otters are part of Surrey Sculpture Society’s 2008 Exhibit at Savill Garden in Windsor Great Park, England. .I am off to take Roxi [...]
My guests are gone but left me sunshine so I wouldn’t be blue
Our dining room in the conservatory. We spent a lot of time in this room while my parents and aunt were here. One meal merged into the next. This happens a lot when we get together mainly because we end up chatting for so long! Our rental came “partially furnished”, by the way. That china [...]
83 glorious days of summer vacation coming right up
Our garden on this soupy, soggy, sloshy, squishy last day of school.
Catching up
Our neighbor’s climbing roses are blooming like crazy. Unfortunately, our neighbors are in the USA for three weeks. No matter, we’ve been enjoying these lovelies for them. We are having a great time with my parents and aunt, even when we’re just sitting around the table talking and eating (too much). Having them stay with [...]
Have a good weekend!
I’ll still make time for Tea. I’m taking off for the rest of the week because I… have my last driving lesson today. My test is June 5. Yikes! need to clean out the refrigerator. I have a lot of groceries coming this afternoon and will need to be creative about stuffing them into my [...]
