Kjirsti & Tom

What an amazing thing to be able to vote.  Even with all the economic problems we are having, we have such a wonderful country.  Earlier this week I came across a couple of powerful pictures of the drama in congo: Congo I wish there was more we could do for Africa. I’m grateful that we…

Tom and I have been so blessed with friends! It seems every weekend we have a chance to hang out with someone new. This weekend we enjoyed a wonderful Italian meal at Pizzazz with Adam and Jenn Burgoyne Saturday night. br /br /It was crazy how cast Saturday passed by. After a VERY full week…

One quick thing. I have been admiring my recent pot collection. I have found several great pots at Goodwill lately. I love the Italian look it gives the kitchen. And look- this sign I made three years ago, completely matches our new cabinets!  It made me think of Trevor and Lauren who were commenting on…

So I was bound and determined to get a lot done over fall break. Here’s what I have to report: I’m going to show it mainly in pictures.     I woke up Monday morning and began sanding down the ceilings. After only 15 minutes my upper arms began to severly cramp up. Discouraged but not…

Everything seemed to progressing smoothly and Tom and I were assured that despite the rustic state of our house, we shouldn’t…

Who would have thought that I would be hoping for rain?!After performing several transplants I have found myself hoping for rain. Perhaps having a yard will help me celebrate the abundance of rain in Cleveland!

   Tom has sailed the last three summers. He loves it and looks forward to it every week. Yesterday I accompanied him for the first time. It was a gorgeous fall day: sunny, warm, with a gentle cool breeze. Tom talked the entire way to the marina, he told me what to expect, ran through…

This weekend was free of scheduled activities, with sailing being the exception. As a result Tom and I got a lot done on the house. Friday we spent the evening working in the yard- transplanting peonies, planting the rest of my bulbs (160 total!), weeding, and removing bricks and large rocks. We made a lot…

-You refer to things that happened that morning, as happening yesterday. -You’re delighted when some one gives you skittles because that means you’ll have “dinner” -You consider sleeping until 7:00 sleeping in. -You start wishing their were pills that worked as food supplements so you wouldn’t have to worry about making lunches. -You fall asleep…
