When we got home Sunday, the kids pushed Tim forward and said, “Tell her what happened.” Okay. Well, things do get broken sometimes–sometimes for no reason, sometimes because people are being wild in the house. This was apparently shot accidentally in some nerf battle. These little guys have been hanging out on that cabinet for decades. The […]

This is the only official trip we took. It was a tour of the city, then stop at a jewelry store (yah.) Then out to a tequila distillery, then lunch, then finally the botanical garden. This is the hall where they host wedding receptions. It’d be a great place, but where would everyone park? I
Jay did this back in December one evening while I was working. He found us a trip to celebrate our 35th anniversary.

Then Barbies started appearing from the bathtub. The first thing Kirsten and I noticed was that they all had very short hair, unusual in
This is a cute picture of Betsy and Pam I stole from facebook. Earlier this week I called Betsy and asked if she could watch the kids while I went to a real estate appointment. She said, “Sure.” I told the kids and p.j. latched onto that fact with a vengeance. The next day when

Okay, so some time ago the first letter arrived informing us that the numbers from some form back in 2011 did not match the records of the IRS. We were not being personally audited. The records were being. Okay. So I called our sweet accountant, Gladys and asked told her about this. She had some distant

See, I like looking at winter. It’s very pretty, true. But being in it is kind of a pain in the neck. Jay does pretty much all the snow removal. He has this snowblower with a head light and heated handles. Years ago, he accepted it as payment for a job from a guy who was pay-your-bills challenged. I was
