chemistry in action
Yesterday I found some neat little cordial glasses at a consignment shop. After I brought them home, I had to create some space for them. This led to a lot of cabinet shuffling and dragging out a bunch of kitchen knick knacks. As I was rearranging, Steven joined in the fun by fiddling with the […]
stuck in a rut
Our little town of Chelsea has grown over the 11 years (11 years!!!) we’ve lived here. In 2006, there were some 4,000 people — now it’s a bustling town of some 11,000 residents. Sometimes, it seems all 11,000 people are on County Road 47 at the same time. For the past few years, Chelsea has […]

Ye be warned! ____________________________________________ Steven and I have recently been indulging in the commentaries provided with the DVD set of the Game of Thrones I received for my birthday. Now, we both read […]

Lately it seems our house is falling to pieces. Our kitchen faucet is starting to get a bit leaky on us. The kitchen light became possessed by a rogue demon and had to be replaced, but not before a minor casualty involving the new light, unpreparedness, and gravity. It’s like we’re being attacked around here. […]
how to curse without really trying
Steven and I were folding the kids’ clothes this morning and every now and again we’d run into some that weren’t dry yet. “Here’s another wet pair of jeans.” Steven lamented. “Well, not quite wet. Just a little wet. Damp. God damp.”
