You’d think it was December here. Well, no, you probably wouldn’t. The relentless humidity would make sure of that. We’ve been busy little beavers today, cooking and cleaning, and I have been gleefully checking off items on the day’s to-do list. It’s Canada Day Eve. We take our holidays seriously. [...]

Thirteen Rules for Ladies
I failed miserably.
I enjoyed reading the Thirteen Rules for Gentlemen on the Preschoolers and Peace blog the other day, and plan to teach them to my boys. When the rules for ladies came up this morning I naturally had my daughter in mind, but soon realized that I have a lot [...]
HEEEEEELLLLLLP!

I’m going grocery shopping tonight, and I just turned on my palm pilot to go over my grocery list. Tried to turn it on, that is. MY PALM PILOT WON’T TURN ON.
If you aren’t utterly dependent on the Handy Shopper program on your Palm Zire to do your shopping, you have no idea [...]

Since Anne will be home in 10 days, I know the torture this post will cause will be short-lived. We’ll have to have another shore day while the Stephens are visiting us.
It has been a tradition for years for the Doreys to head to the shore for the day on Canada Day. We [...]

“I’m actually a little cold.”
My son just said this to me. It’s 27° and wonderful muggy, and he’s wearing long sleeves. I’ve been in a lather all day, and haven’t really been moving around that much. It’s just that kind of day.
And my children are cold.
They don’t get that from me.

This is what I want my house to look like by suppertime today. It can happen. I did it once, I can do it again. The amazing thing is that in spite of the humidity, and Mr. Man I’m here to tell you it is humid today, I am actually getting excited [...]

Today was our third and last day of picking berries to sell. Last year we did great, but last year the picking was great. We could sit in one spot and fill a couple of boxes. There were several days when we picked and sold 6 dozen quarts by noon. But [...]

We were sitting by the pool yesterday in the oppressive humid heat, when Mom sauntered out to the pool with the most delightful mug you can imagine. It was the prettiest shade of green, tapered like an old-fashioned sundae dish ~ I don’t have a picture and words don’t do it justice. I [...]
Wow!

Not today. I need to recover. I also need to start getting ready NOW for our vacation in August if I have any hopes of leaving here on time with a good night’s sleep behind me and everyone in good spirits. That was made abundantly clear last Friday.
But I do want to [...]
