If I wait to add the photos…

I’ll never post a thing.  Which is pretty much what I’ve been doing.  Never not posting nothing at all. I should tell a story, a sappy story, a tearjerker.  (But I don’t have one of those.) Light’s changing.  I can’t … Continue reading

Future Careers

No, I don’t ask the Kid.  He volunteers the information.  And I’d like it written somewhere, so I’m less likely to forget. The potential future careers of the Kid: Pilot who flies at night Worker in a landfill driving a … Continue reading

strawberry jam, lunch today, eggs!

I made jam and chocolate sauce for the Kid’s preschool/childcare teachers. Last day ever for him was Friday 9-7-07.  Jam is better described as sauce.  Tastes good! I made lemon cake for the kids, by request from the Kid.  He … Continue reading
