It has CONTINUED to be summer around here, which is leading me to wonder where I am and to also SEIZE THE DAY, so there has been lots of swimming and outdoor activity around the Boyhouse. There has also been lots of discussions about Star Wars. My kids talk about Star Wars all the time. […]

I was feeling a bit concerned yesterday, and the day before, when a somewhat comical series of events took place that made the flooring installation take a full day longer than anticipated (“Hm. Well. This is going to complicate things.” the flooring guy said more times than […]

A fully functional kitchen plus a couple of rainy, miserable days equals KITCHEN PARTY! I spent yesterday making granola – hippie me – baking cookies, chopping fruit and veggies, and making hummous that would make you cry tears of joy. Well, it made ME cry tears of joy.
