Ever had something valuable stolen from you? I have and I’m going tell you about it today. It’s no picnic. Stealing Ain’t Nice. No it ain’t. Yeah I said ain’t. Said it on purpose. Not good grammar? I know that too. Know how I know? Because I grew up the youngest of five, tortured my older…
Ragman
Hello friends, and a very happy Easter weekend to you! I’m gonna do something new today, something I’ve never done before on a Saturday morning on THLG. Yet. I’m taking the day off! Yep. I’m really doing it. I had a post all ready to go about how stealing isn’t nice. Seriously. But the more I…
Ghost Boy by Martin Pistorius: Virtual Book Discussion
Hello friends, and a very happy weekend to you. Today we’re having a virtual book discussion on the book Ghost Boy by Martin Pistorius. You may remember I invited you to read the book Ghost Boy six weeks ago in the post Life of a Secretly Lucid Vegetable. I love talking about real here. Real things that really matter. (If…
Arctic Expedition to Old Quebec City
Hello friends and a very happy weekend to you! Today we’re going on a field trip. Out of the country. Yep. We’re headed to Old Quebec City in Canada. You in? Jon and I went last weekend, had a great time and I want to tell you all about it. Old Quebec City is steeped in…
Bullseye
(Bullseye: true story. I get such a kick writing about actual events. True life stories. The following actually happened to dear friends of mine, and you just can’t make this stuff up.) So hey, hope you’re having a great weekend friends! I am. Jon and I ran away to the tundra, Quebec City this weekend….
Little Star
A story about my Little Star Hudson today. (Hudson’s 5, has Down syndrome, and just got home from the hospital a few days ago.) But first, for a quick second, think of your worst fear. (Several friends recently told me their worst fear is becoming a vegetable. Which is why they’re not reading/participating in the virtual…
Civility is (not) dead
Hi friends, cheerfully chatting here today about how Civility is (not) Dead. Hope everyone’s well at your house. Things are a little crazy here in NH. Even more than usual. There’s a stomach virus “out there” that’s literally shutting down schools. It’s Thursday afternoon as I write and all my kids were sent home from school…
Say No to Say Yes
I was thinking this past week about a fascinating book I read two summers ago: Essentialism: the Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown. Greg talks about paring life down to the bare essentials to accomplish more. It’s an interesting concept, and harder to put in practice than it is in theory. But first, how are you today? Happy…
Just to Make You Smile
Got some stories today. Just to Make You Smile. It was one of those crazy mornings a few weeks ago here. (I’m sure you don’t have those at your house.) There was no school because it was MLK Day, so we’d scheduled back to back dentist appointments for the boys. They weren’t exactly thrilled about it…
Hunt It Down & Kill It
Unusual things happen to me. They really do. And that’s the bottom line. Sometimes I laugh writing about them here, sometimes cry. But this is where I record the unusual things so they won’t be lost forever from what’s left of these remaining gray cells. (If you’re new here, I post recipes during the week,…
