This weather has been crazy huh? Last week the snow kept falling on our house. After the week of ice, we had snow on Saturday and then five inches dumped on our house Monday night. The director of my girls’ school hired a bobcat and someone to plow the driveway so the children managed to […]
Mt. Leconte tradition
October is nearing an end. But I didn’t want the story of how we spent October 1st to get lost in the shuffle of our days. Our family has a five year running tradition of hiking to the top and spending the night at the LeConte Lodge. We go with family friends and it’s not […]
On island time
The past three weeks I’ve been on island time. In a wonderful place where I can ride my bike to yoga, get a great cup on local coffee next door at one of my favorite places (where awesome thrift/artsy store meets quality food), then head straight over to the beach for a dip. Followed by […]
Fourth of July
Here’s a few pictures from our Fourth of July at the beach. It was filled with family, laughs, a big parade, an old school lemonade stand, dogs dressed in holiday wear, beads flying off floats, wave jumping and fireworks on the beach. We missed our old gang at home and our neighborhood traditions. But our […]

It seems the snow just keeps coming here, and has been dictating our days for weeks. We like that – we really do! And that’s where I’ve been, playing in the snow with my family. And by that I mean skiing in Colorado with my brother, sister-in-law and niece. But before we left we had […]
Apple picking and canning….catching up on fall
There has been so much going on here lately, so much that I’m going to keep close to my own heart for a while longer before I explain. But I do want to do a little catching up some photos and good times that I have thought about sharing. It is nice to focus on […]
Saying goodbye to summer
Some of our last days of summer were spent at the beach. I just could not let summer go by without some sand in my toes. In spite of my husband being too busy to take off for a traditional beach trip, I decided I wasn’t was too busy. And I booked a trip I […]
Back from Norway
Hello again. Durning my very LONG absence here, I’ve had a nice break from the cyber world and my real life where we fill our days with too much busyness. Thank you for sticking with me this last month, while I’ve been going at very slow pace. Norway was wonderful for us. Traveling abroad widens […]
