Wabi-sabi

  A beautiful gray day today in Rangeley.  A bit cold with lots of fog.  The town was fairly empty with few people or cars.  We started with a quick trip to town to first - empty our mailbox (our garage door "opener" was delivered) and then a stop at IGA for sweet potatoes (the only grocery forgotten for our week). Paul spent his day working in the new garage.                                                                 The first three lights were hung.                                                                      New switches for new lights.       ...

Paronomasia

 Breakfast by TJ this morning - yummy - thank you!  And a chance to hold Charlotte - I will never turn down! A late start heading to Rangeley meant arriving in the dark.  Thank you Kevin and Isis for leaving the house warm and the lights on! Abet and Aid Punsters Day.  A day to celebrate laughter, bad jokes and clever word play.  Kids provide lots of opportunity to laugh!                                                  Megan and Big Bird in my laundry tub.                                                     (Only now do I notice her many leg bruises!)                            ...

Sisters

Image
 A short morning helping Megan until swim lessons for Brianna.  Then a day of cleaning, packing for Maine (departure tomorrow afternoon) and dog sitting Maddie (so many zoomies - so glad for the fence!). Brianna and Charlotte Sisters.  Such a short word for such a big relationship.  Bri insisted on "learning" how to change a poopy diaper (I think she was procrastinating her "homework").   "Sisters are friends we have for a lifetime." (Catherine Pulsifer, author of Change Your Life.)                                                       Karen and myself      Christmas in the early 1970s                                                   ...

Enjoying the Temporary!

Image
 Good morning Charlotte!  My mornings are complete watching her - eat, sleep, poop, smile, try to grab things and hiccup.   So peaceful and serene. And just in case I had forgotten just how temporary everything is - Linda sent me this pic of Lennie.  This was her reaction after being asked to eat her carrots!  Seriously how super cute is she?!?  (Course I cannot hear her.)  Stay the course Linda - it is temporary!   Blast from the past:  high chair pics:                                                                                     Megan 1995                                    ...

Then an afternoon in Narragansett visiting Mom with Karen - nice!  The walk on the new boardwalk at SandHill Cove - a bit chilly but the salty air and ocean waves - invigorating!                                                                                     M...

East Bay Bike Path

Image
 She's still cute!                                                                        Charlotte With another stunning day predicted - we headed to East Bay Bike Path.  We were not alone.  So many more bicycles than the Blackstone Valley Bikeway, we learned very quickly to negotiate around everyone.  There were also way more streets to cross though most were in residential neighborhoods that only needed a pause not a total stop.  Yet the few cars and trucks that we did come across were all very cordial with some even stopping when they could see us down the path.                                              ...
