City fresh, how I love thee!
I love my CAS. I don’t know why but picking those veggies off that card table, putting them in my self brought bag and bringing them home brings me joy every time. Today I grinned broadly knowing I was going to try bok choy for the first time. I could have bought it a hundred…

Herumph!
So my “Live the Dream” mindset only lasted about three days before I was back spinning my wheels again. I’m hoping hormones or some other passing condition are the cause of my recent inability to cope with life. Please allow me to wax on. This month starts Tom’s final year of medical school. Let me…

Blogging
Lately I’ve been wondering a lot about why I blog. I listened to a book “Have a Little Faith” that had a quote something like this: “Today’s youth are publicizing everything about their lives online, screaming for fame and recognition.” It struck me. Is that why I blog?Is it my meager way of seeking recognition,…

Summer
A few weeks ago I was talking with Sabina about how we can make summer feel different. She mentioned that in most ways summer means more work as she is a mother to five children. While I only have one child, I want to make summer feel different. Sure, I’m teaching a bit less, but other…
