How much farther, ErinLee?

This is a bit of a change-up, as we noted laughingly earlier this evening. For the nth time in the last four days, I’ve asked that question or another – Are we there yet, ErinLee? Reminiscent of days gone by, only the daughters were asking the questions then 🙂 As I admitted to her, I…

Guess what, ErinLee? It’s Christmas!!

Sitting at ErinLee’s kitchen table looking out big windows over Lake Union and beyond the Space Needle to the Olympic mountains, snow-capped and beautiful against a hazy, but not rainy, sky and guess what? It is Christmas Day 2010; life is very good. Re the title of today’s post, I must have said those words…

Another TA DA for Me!

It’s nearly 10 a.m. on Saturday morning and I am NOT studying, NOT rushing to beat a deadline, NOT frantically looking for one more resource to beef up a reference list. I AM having a ball here in my special kitchen, just me, some great music – Transiberian Orchestra turned up loud – a couple…

O Give Thanks 2010

Welcome to this year’s edition of my post-Thanksgiving thoughts. To many, the words of the title are the familiar beginning of a common table prayer spoken after meals. Growing up in our house, it was said after every meal taken together. It’s getting late and according to the clock, Thanksgiving Day 2010, is history and…

Happy Birthday Hattie!!

Now there’s a name you don’t hear too much anymore, Hattie, in this case short for Henrietta, my Grandma Buelow who, if she was still with us, would be 121 years old today. She passed away at age 85 and played an important role here at Her Father’s Homestead. She came as a young bride…

Sparkles Revisited…

I haven’t written about Sparkles in a while, but I got a good-sized dose of them today. In with the beauty was a lesson and that is another Sparkle in and of itself. What is this about anyway? To keep y’all in suspense (ancient literary secret) we’ll talk about the lesson first. Let’s begin with…

Another birthday!! Bless you, ErinLee!!

My ErinLee, elder daughter by 363 days turned 26 today! I texted her at 12:05 a.m., PDT, her time, which, and yes, I was up, was 2:05 a.m., here in Wisconsin. I was working and reminiscing about the birth of my first child, 26 years ago. She was so tiny, just 5lb, 13 oz, at…

Choices !!

Don’t you love choices?? Today, after a really tough week, is turning out beautifully and it’s not yet noon. Today is my Meghan Lee’s 25th birthday. We spoke early, I waited for her call – I’m learning, didn’t want to wake her too early on her birthday. I sang to her, not the traditional melody,…

A Special Letter

I just wrote a special letter, a letter to my younger daughter, Meghan Lee. I didn’t really have time for this today as I’m under the proverbial gun to finish major school work in time to join a group of friends tomorrow. We’ll see…. The letter had to be written and will be taken to…

It’s a Mom Thing…

Not everybody would get this, but if you’re a mom, I’m fairly certain you will. Everybody knows my Meghan Lee was here for eight days. She’s gone, four days already. It’s harder than I’d have believed. I should be used to it; my daughters live on opposite coasts, I’m in the middle and this is…
