I won!

The Office… (no, not that ‘Office’) …My office.  The place I work — had a St. Patty’s Day Potluck today.  Several of us signed up to bring a dish to pass.  It could be green, St. Patrick’s Day themed, authentic St. Pat’s food, or something totally random. I don’t have many any authentic Irish recipes.  I’m … Read More

Signs of Spring — and Testosterone

CheriGENERAL

Visible signs that spring  is arriving in the frozen tundra  have been appearing . . . The obvious robin… that may or may not  have been around all winter . . . Parkas are shed for sweatshirts … (Nate in his creepy front zip-to-the-tip hoodie) and indoor activity is abandoned for  more testosterone  raving fun I just … Read More

Line Dancing!

CheriGENERAL

My word did we ever get a work-out line dancing Friday night! I think we learned 3 different line dances in an hour.   Check out DIY Guy and Baby Girl dancing . . . After the hired instructor left…they asked Baby Girl to keep teaching so everyone could keep dancing!  She had some very … Read More

Confidential?

CheriGENERAL

Let the records show —  I asked.   This is NOT a confidential document or image. But it is a very poor attempt at getting it to the appropriate size to show you here. Quite some time ago DIY Guy asked me to make him a header for his work webpage.  And typically, I procrastinated. … Read More

Balance

CheriGENERAL

Balance is important when you write a blog.  Especially if members of your family, and extended family read your blog.  Regularly I wonder….”has everyone been given equal “blog time” lately? Typically, the people who are featured in my blog (usually without permission) are people I’ve recently spent time with.  Like the ski trip a couple … Read More

Video of the day

CheriGENERAL

Enlarge to full-screen, there are subtitles.  Makes you think doesn’t it?

Can I just say WOW?

CheriGENERAL

Our wild one got a new look recently . . . When she sent me these photos taken Friday (March 6) today, I could hardly believe how grown up (and beautiful) she looks. I couldn’t resist playing around with some editing  . . . Note: these photos were taken with her point and shoot camera! … Read More

Our little guy….

CheriGENERAL

This little guy is so stink’n cute I have to savor every moment with him…and I find it very hard not to photograph him.  I suppose it is natural to gravitate to the youngest ones — especially when they are the youngest of 13 cousins. According to his momma…he loves to wear his goggles! He … Read More
