Okay, this is the picture of the Heidi lips I was looking for. And the Heidi hair. John said it looked like a fish fin. The pic was out of the album, taken for another purpose, and turned up by surprise later. There she is, high in the air, three months old. At the time, […]
Jay told me to find this on YouTube because it reminds him of Tim. Yeah, I laughed. A lot. My favorite line is, “Where’d he get a balloon?” Oh, Tim, Tim, Tim. love, Mom

But that was quite a long time ago. I gave him a pair of luxurious down-filled mittens. They’re still in the mitten box now. We had a party tonight, of course.

A little bit terrible. Okay, this is the first story, not too terrible. After church this morning, (yes we did get there,) Jay was about to make sandwiches for the crowd.

Yep. It’s him. I guess people who do this just DO this, and nobody knows why. But he’s one of them. The first time he did it and made me laugh was back before we were even married. He was talking about someone with a special accomplishment and said it was a “plum in his
Oh dear. I have a real estate deal crumbling around the edges, so frustrating and upsetting. The outcome is unknown at this time. And our accounts receivable continues to climb, as does our own pile of bills, which will eventually be due. Nobody’s paying. Oh, ouch, ouch, ouch. So I’ve defaulted into stress mode and
