Two days ago on Christmas morning, the national weather service put out a blizzard warning for our area. They (the weather people) said it was going to start snowing around noon the day after Christmas and stop sometime around 6 PM on December 27. Joe and I looked at each other, excited over the news [...]

Ugly Christmas Cookie Club

As the president of the Ugly Christmas Cookie Club, I’d like to welcome our newest member: Meghan Olson. Over the weekend Meghan made these chocolate chip cookies while we decorated the tree. Aren’t they U-G-L-Y? I’m so proud I could bust. I think she’s going to be our best member ever, though my brother Patrick [...]

Here it is. The beginning of a new decade. And it’s off to a great start. Joe and Crossroads rang in the new year playing in West Hartford. They rocked the house, despite the host, who looked and acted like Rip Taylor, running around, waving his arms in the air, continually interrupting the band to [...]

I spent yesterday doing something I rarely do—cook. It’s not that I don’t know how to cook, though Kyra would tell you I’ve been known to misread recipes, substituting one teaspoon of salt for one tablespoon. A common mistake, right? And really? Is there that big of a difference between baking soda and baking power? [...]

Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I guess I’ve been busy. Doing what? I don’t know. But yesterday we had a little mid-week tree trimming party and decorated our tree. It was a fun evening, and not to brag, but, for us, we have an exceptionally beautiful tree this year. (The picture to [...]
History Repeats Itself . . . Sort of

Last week Joe, the girls and I were on vacation. We didn’t “go” anywhere. We stayed in Connecticut and took day trips to points of interest. We had a great time and did some fun things like taking in the “Bodies Revealed” exhibit, hanging out at Six Flags (okay, this wasn’t a lot of fun [...]
