Boxing Day

I have to say, this is a favorite day…the frantic rush of presents and baking is over, the dust settles, you can put on your new flannel shirt and be cozy, peruse your Christmas books.  Best of all when it falls on Saturday and nobody has to go anywhere.  Whether your Christmas was one of […]

Thankful

When you stop to think about it there are so many things to be thankful for.  I could make a blog post with 300 images…but really this year it was simple.  Family…those that were with us and those that were far away…loved nonetheless.  But the ones that were with us made us laugh and laugh […]

Saturday Stuff

Saturday was the kind of day I like best…lots of different stuff happening.  It began here in town when the Salem Sketchers met up for coffee and drawing at Archive Coffee… and a selfie stick came in handy… …then a zydeco jam over at the Mill (hoping they do it monthly as it was FUN..people […]

HAIRCUT!

We were up at Sidney’s house over the weekend and his Mommy gave him the smartest haircut I’ve ever seen.  Sidney doesn’t watch TV and only a few videos, but he loves to watch.  On this day he got to watch a Thomas the Train video … His mommy worked away while he watched… and […]

Sidney, Last Year

This week Sidney has his first dentist appointment and we were given the day off…so I’m reaching back into my now VAST archive of pictures of this small person…and this is how he looked last year at this time…what a miracle of growth these first few years are, and how lucky we have been to […]

Fathers

We were children, we are parents (some of us, anyway) we are grandparents (lucky ducks) and the wonder of living in an age when images have been  captured never is more striking than when one is remembering the many moments WITH fathers, AS fathers, and on.  I guess I’m not going to identify all the […]

Sidney Day…

Monday is always Sidney day (thankfully)…and today there was a little clowning around… We brought Sidney a “baby grand” and first there was the moment of studying the instrument… but he got into it, and eventually even got on top of the whole thing… In the end though, it was the box that delighted…
