We have been busy preparing for our move to Idaho. The living room just got painted and it looks fabulous. I am not sure why we didn’t paint it 2 years ago! Oh well, live and learn. There is a gallon of paint left over and I like the color so much that the extra […]

I know these two guys at work, JW and KS. Friday was JW’s last day and KS used to work for us but moved on to another company but still works in the same building. Apparently, during a conversation over lunch Friday, KS told JW that his company was going to bid on a contract […]

A Profile in Courage

Yesterday, I finally gained the courage to join the YMCA. The couragous part was not about exercising, it was about leaving Maggie with someone else to take care of her. This decision was made a little easier because I know Amy, one of the daycare workers through Jason’s work. When I dropped Maggie off, both […]

There are few things, or perhaps more than I think, that are truly universal. An inexplicably crying baby is one. Maggie, over the last several days, has been in quite the fussy rut.
