I’d forgotten until the receipt arrived yesterday that I’d set up a gift, going forward as a monthly donation, to the scholarship fund established in my father’s (go ahead and read his bio if you haven’t already done so before – or honestly even if you have – he was pretty nifty, right?) name […]
SONNET 116 Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth’s […]
Okay, so I’m a little behind in posting. Here are some pics of our fabulous vacation in Delaware this Christmas. We ate well (oh, so well): turkey/duck dinner, crepes for breakfast, grapefruit (new to me!) and iced rolls, Chris’s famous Chex Mix (which now contains even more goodies than you would imagine). Can’t wait to […]
My mom and sister arrived last night. It’ll be one of the few Christmases my mom has ever spent not in Florida. She came up a few years back, with everyone else, when we lived in Waynesville for Christmas. But this year it’s just the two of them, and they’re here to be with […]

We headed off Sunday morning to take a photograph for our Christmas card. (Yes, we’re sending Christmas cards again at long last this year.) This meant a morning with the tripod at Biltmore Park in front of their Christmas display (which looks like it’s where Santa is usually set up to take requests for […]
Els bought a swimming pool for us for Mother’s Day – and we finally got around to installing it tonight (though I think we need to empty it, level the ground, and install it again – or more likely figure out how to pay someone else to do that for us). The water was cold. […]
[gallery] Our July 4th included painted toenails (courtesy of mommy), the always disappointing parade in Hendersonville, and sparklers after dinner. Fun, fun!
Father’s Day (oh, how I miss my dad) was celebrated here without any of our children in house, but we did entertain a grandbaby, three friends, and two other young ‘uns (though I’d guess Ana wouldn’t appreciate being named a young ‘un). Rufus ran around playing chase with the kids for a long while after […]
