Pity the guy who doesn’t attend the “Health and Wellness” lecture presented at work but depends on colleagues to give him or her (in this case, Wes the hubby) the highlights and takeaways from the lecture. For the last month since, Wes has gone total vegy (his colleague that went to the lecture lasted only 36 …
Lately I have been on a peanut butter kick. Slathered on apple wedges, chunks of banana, in celery to make it edible, or a pbj sandwich when I am off for a bike ride or at a regatta. It is eminently convenient, a great energy and protein source and the added bonus, a pbj sammie makes …
Blog vacation is over…the vacation wasn’t intentional, it just kind of happened. That’s life for you. We just got back from Nashville where our kid Jordan goes to school. We walked the campus, met his roommates’ families, went to the football game (they won!), attended a couple of lectures, and spent time with Wes’s classmate …
I walked outside the other day, the sunlight was a little different, not so bright, not so in your face. The light had taken on a warm orange hue. Even if temperatures are high, it just doesn’t seem as hot, the day’s end is a little earlier. There is a crispness in the air and …
Every year Wes, the garden guy in our house, plants tomatoes. We pick out a mix of cherry tomatoes and heirlooms and usually by this time we are enjoying fresh vine ripened tomatoes.

Shanghai has become the city of the future, a financial hub, and global powerhouse, …
Our original novice women’s group got together the other night. Four of us are still rowing but the others have since moved on to other sports or endeavors. I can’t imagine why, doesn’t everyone love getting up at the crack of dawn four days a week? We met at Moultrup’s house, Gidge, 2-seat, Snookies, Way-way, …
I hope you don’t think the title is blasphemous…but I am celebrating, yep, doing the happy dance. I finally finished Jamie’s Kimono quilt! You may be thinking, okay, good for you. You don’t understand, I started it when Jamie was 2 years old and as some of you may know, she is a rising sopohmore in …
Maybe its because I have two kids in college in the south, or maybe its just because who in their right mind doesn’t like biscuits, it is my current obsession. When I was a kid, scratch biscuits came out of a can with a chubby dough boy on the outside, pop the can open, ta-da, biscuits in …
