Anna’s funeral was today.
Her parents and family came here from Ohio. Many of the current class of grad students sang with the church choir. LT played quite well.
I wish that I understood why I stay dry-eyed sometimes and tears flow freely at others. Yesterday was a free-flowing day — especially during the prayer service in [...]
Can you believe it? My vacation is over today! If all went well, I should be spending the day wandering around the ancient sites of Rome. ROME!!! And what is even more amazing is that I have all these writer friends who willingly and without hesitation agreed to write a guest post for me while [...]
I am so thankful to have found such talented writers in my wanderings through the blogosphere. And then to think that some of them would actually let their writing be put on my blog while I’m on vacation? Over the moon, is what I am.
In honor of Thanksgiving in the USA tomorrow, we have a [...]
I am SO lucky to have made such good blogging friends! While I’m away in Italy, missing you all madly of course, several of these good friends have agreed to write a guest post. Today, we have Movin’ Down The Road.
Here’s a cautionary tale about looking for authentic LIVE music in a new city… [...]
I am so grateful for the people I’ve meet on these here innerwebs. For instance, when asked a few to share travel stories while I was gone THEY SAID YES! Who knew?? Churlita, a rather Churlish Figure, lives just a few hours south of me with her teenage daughters who are about the same ages [...]
I am SO fortunate! Not only have I been able to take this trip to Italy but I have FABULOUS blogosphere friends who will relate their sordid travel tales for your enjoyment while I’m gone. Today, DCup from Politits and Unglued shares the joy of train travel with small children. A cautionary tale, even without [...]
I’m all packed and ready. I’ve had my morning meeting. I’m putting out a couple of fires and making sure I’ve covered the bases I need to cover. I’ve got an ISAIAH meeting at 1 and then another little fun meeting at 3. I’ll leave that a little early, go home, pick up my single [...]
OK. This one might be attributable to a delicious wild mushroom risotto (with truffle garlic oil and arugala); a delicious dinner I had with KrO at al Vento (a little neighborhood Italian restaurant that I’ve written about here and here ) Also, I ate way too much so even though I went to bed at [...]
On Monday, I emailed a friend and basically told him that we needed to get together because he needed to buy me a birthday drink.
For some reason, he didn’t flinch and we’re scheduled to meet at The Sample Room tonight at 6:00.
I fully intend on discussing the following:
His love life
Whether he would give me some [...]
Elle and Little Miss O joined me and DS1 for the NE Parade this year. (Appologies to Elle for the Condition of My House. She was so kind and excited to see the finished shower. That’ll teach you! )
Third year in a row that I’m the proud mom of a [...]
