~:: The Spring Thing ::~
Rewind: Easter Part 1 – Outside Chaz came home with a surprise for me—plush peeps. Even though these will NOT dry out and become a crusty delight, they are dang cute. And here we are: an ancient scene somewhat reduced. … Continue reading
~:: My Very Large House ::~
I have written about this before, the strange and expanding nature of my very large house. It starts with a cluster of not very large rooms. Like these two, with a boy standing on the seam between them. And like … Continue reading

~:: My Hubby, the Patriarch ::~
Anybody remember me? The woman who blogs once every six months unless she’s mad? May I just say that I have scanned over 450 pages of family photographs since January 3rd? Hmmm? And that I’m going through one of my … Continue reading
