The weather gods smiled (grinned!) upon us yesterday and There Was Sun. Lots of sun, in fact. So let’s hear a big woo hoo for the weather gods, yeah! Wow, a gorgeous day, perfect for chillin’ in the pool with Rudy& Ana and Stu & Debbie and (several, ahem) glasses of cold wine. It was…

Swimmin’ & swimmin’ & swimmin’ some more. Splash! Wow, what a hot streak, days in a row of sunshiney hotness and we’re taking every advantage. We had my nephew Cooper Cuteness (aka Triple T, or Teeny Tiny Turducken) in the pool on Wednesday, and Cooper and Stacey and Etta in the pool on Thursday, and…

Smokin’ out there, hooeeey! That’s Minnesota for you (us), from mid-60s one week to mid-90s the next, with nary a lovely 70s in between. Sigh. So I’ll forgive you (me) for complaining that one week you’re freezing your butt off and the next yer sweatin’ like a frizzy-haired pig. Or something. Damn! Good for the…

Oooh, it’s a hot one out there today, definitely a day for hangin’ by the pool. Just John and me, since my stepdaughter left for a trip today, and Nathan’s spending the afternoon with his dad’s family. So…a little sun, a late-afternoon shower, a simple, light dinner of grilled shrimps with spicy braised green beans,…

Have you read Fast Food Nation or seen the movie (loosely based on the book)? John and I watched the ‘vie a couple of nights ago and dang, friends, I’m having a hard time shaking off some of those images. Which is the point, of course. And wouldn’t you know we’d had burgers for dinner…

Um, why am I up at 12:00 a.m. posting to my blog? Well…blame it on my neighbors. Tonight was the last “neighborhood women’s association meeting” (code for “wine and chat”) of the season (we’ll reassemble in September), always a very fun time (thank you to hostess Lisa, who put on a gorgeous party, even without…

Last week of school, this week, and then the crazy party we call summer begins. More baseball, lots of entertaining, visits from and trips to stay with family and friends, and driving, driving, driving for various sports and camps. I got a bit of a headache working on my calendar last night, ack. As usual,…

Bloggin’ on the porch on a lovely Saturday morning…ahhh…doesn’t get much nicer than this. All my hard work is paying off and I’m actually starting to enjoy the spaces I’ve endeavored to clean up and beautify. NICE! I still have a chair to spray-paint, hopefully today, and other bits and pieces of things to do,…

As many of you know, I’ve worked hard since last September to pare things down and return to my normal weight, which I’ve for the most part achieved. The key for me has been focusing even more than I already was on staying away from processed foods and really, really basing my diet on a…

A confused (clouds-sunshine-rain…decide already!) and muggy day turned into a lovely evening, which I spent on our screened porch under the twinkling white lights and paper lanterns I strung up today. I am on quite the house project bender these days, sort of late-spring cleaning, I guess. Happens to me every year, as soon as…
