Let’s see here. What’s changed since the last time I wrote? We had a great, prolonged visit from my inlaws, Granna and Pa (Ami calls them Geeka and Pa, or often her own portmanteau GeekaPa). Ami has had TWO stomach bugs, one of which poor Geeka caught while they were in town. We created a…

Today with a Nineteen Month Old
Well well well! We’re here, we’re alive, we’re thriving, and I actually feel like writing something! In fact, I feel like stealing a page from the lovely Lindsay over at Apron Adventures and writing up a Day in the Life style post! I’m considering this more a journaling type post, so please excuse this totally…
Life is for the living
Well. I’m feeling a need for this outlet again! And it’s because life has bloomed and exploded and grown in ways that have been, at times, hard to synthesize. Or maybe it’s because I got an email that my domain here would expire unless I paid $26, and I don’t want to feel like that…
Keeping Happy on National Furminator Day
Things have been down here lately, so I made up a holiday! Here at Cooptown, we celebrated National Furminator Day by… furminating the cats. Surprise! This is Fatty’s contribution to the festivities, after I’d gathered it all up into a ball. I was allergic to cats as a child, but thankfully grew out of it….
We’re back
I’ve been sick like a really sick person for the last week. Good timing, right? Just when we go out of town? Here’s hoping I didn’t infect our friends and loved ones. Other than that, we had a lovely Thanksgiving. Oyster Thanksgiving, which is our normal Thanksgiving Eve celebration, had to be moved to Friday…
Frustration-killer!
I spent the day frustrated. With iCloud, with our HOA, with STUFF everywhere, with November heat (what? Sandals in November? Where’s my autumn crispness?) But then my aunt sent me this wonderful video of the wedding we attended last weekend, and the perma-grin is back! What a fun wedding. How lucky we are that we…
Today’s walk?
Huntley Meadows. It’s a reclaimed wetland and was full of kids on school trips as well as lots of geese and ducks. And now I’m on the Metro on the way to the airport and I miss Nana already. See you soon.
My grandparents.
They took these pictures of each other while they were living in Fargo, ND for a year in 1948. My grandmother still talks about how stupid cold it was there.
Alexandria
Nana and I strolled Old Town Alexandria today. I racked up 9000 steps, so not too shabby! (Also, did I mention my Nana turns 91 in January? So if 9000 steps is good for me, what’s it for her?) Nana has an Old Town circuit. We visited the Torpedo Factory, which was actually a place…
