Easter on the Water

April 9, 2012

I really should have brushed up on my Easter Bunny knowledge before this year. Suddenly, E. had a million questions on Saturday night — How does the Easter Bunny get into our house? He’s not going to be able to reach the door handle. How does he carry all the stuff for Easter baskets? He [...]

E’s Excellent Spring Break

April 1, 2012

I’ve said it once, and I’m sure I’ll say it 1,000 more times — my daughter sure does live a charmed life. But perhaps one of the things she’s most lucky to have in life is a grandmother who not only adores her, but would do ANYTHING for her. That anything includes giving up her [...]

My Favorite Spring Things

March 16, 2012

Despite my disappointment in our lack of a winter this year (I mean, come on. We suffer from May to October.

Go figure) and rapidly rising and dropping [...]

It’s My Birthday and I’ll Drink if I Want To

January 22, 2012

That was the subject line of an email I sent to some friends last week. It’s not quite my birthday yet (it’s coming this week), but it had been way too long since I’d seen some good friends. So I figured my birthday was as good as an excuse as any to arrange a mini [...]

Ice, Ice Baby

December 9, 2011

Know how you know you’ve lived in Florida for awhile? It doesn’t seem that weird anymore to go ice skating on 80-degree days. First step was the long, difficult lacing process. Then, it was time for our first baby steps on the ice. I haven’t been on skates myself in years, so I’m not sure [...]
