WHERE’VE YOU BEEN?
I certainly have heard that question lately and I will admit to being MIA these last eight weeks, more specifically the last three weeks. Where have I been? Finishing the first eight weeks of the sixteen-week spring semester, then last week a break before beginning the final eight weeks of this semester today. Between working…

How much farther, ErinLee?
This is a bit of a change-up, as we noted laughingly earlier this evening. For the nth time in the last four days, I’ve asked that question or another – Are we there yet, ErinLee? Reminiscent of days gone by, only the daughters were asking the questions then 🙂 As I admitted to her, I…

Guess what, ErinLee? It’s Christmas!!
Sitting at ErinLee’s kitchen table looking out big windows over Lake Union and beyond the Space Needle to the Olympic mountains, snow-capped and beautiful against a hazy, but not rainy, sky and guess what? It is Christmas Day 2010; life is very good. Re the title of today’s post, I must have said those words…

Another TA DA for Me!
It’s nearly 10 a.m. on Saturday morning and I am NOT studying, NOT rushing to beat a deadline, NOT frantically looking for one more resource to beef up a reference list. I AM having a ball here in my special kitchen, just me, some great music – Transiberian Orchestra turned up loud – a couple…

A Special Letter
I just wrote a special letter, a letter to my younger daughter, Meghan Lee. I didn’t really have time for this today as I’m under the proverbial gun to finish major school work in time to join a group of friends tomorrow. We’ll see…. The letter had to be written and will be taken to…

It’s a Mom Thing…
Not everybody would get this, but if you’re a mom, I’m fairly certain you will. Everybody knows my Meghan Lee was here for eight days. She’s gone, four days already. It’s harder than I’d have believed. I should be used to it; my daughters live on opposite coasts, I’m in the middle and this is…

Worth the Wait
Just six hours now and I’ll be at the GB airport, waiting for my beloved Meghan to walk through the door!! We’ve been counting down together, sending little texts each day with the tally and now it’s here. I’ve been working hard to be ready – not that she is demanding or critical. It’s me,…

TA DA …
My last post of 2009 from my home. In 12 hours I’ll be arriving in Green Bay to catch a bit of sleep before flying out at 6:30 a.m. And in 28 hours I will be hugging my beloved Meghan and seeing her new home for the first time. Am I excited? You have no…

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes Part I
Some of you know I’m a musician. That affects how I remember things and how I learn. No to mention that I’m a child of the 60s and 70s so it should be no surprise to find music throughout these pages. Today we borrow from Bowie – David the musician, as opposed to Jim, of…

Thinking About Eagles
I saw one again today, not that uncommon out here; I saw one yesterday, too. But they sure are fascinating. I’ve always loved birds, little birds that come to feed in your yard, big birds, birds of prey – hawks, owls, osprey, eagles. This morning’s message delivered by a guest preacher referenced eagles, too, one…
