The summer days have gotten into a nice rhythm of sorts. I have my school work spread out in my office, and I put in a couple of hours there. I am also trying to fit in 30 minutes of cardio 5 days a week. SO far, so sore.
The rest of the time is either [...]

Beauty in wood…

The eldest did not play baseball. He likes to join his brothers in the front field for a game, but playing on an organized team is not his thing.
But wood working is. This is the table he made in Wood Working this spring. Very lovely, and will look elegant in our new house!
These pictures do [...]
The last days of machine pitch…

Our youngest played his last week of machine pitch.. an entire week of All-Star games. Cooper is also one who can get to the plate and make a hit almost every at bat. Strategy is also something he gets, and got several double plays this season single handed. (catching a fly ball and tagging the [...]

Baseball has been the main focus of the lives of our 2 younger boys for several months. This weekend, the final tournament was played. Okay, maybe it was the final tournament. There is some talk of playing one more in late July, so there are more practices to be had.. but this week, the son [...]
Summer flowers…

For days we watched a big fat bud in our pond, and wondered when it would pop. We have 2 types of water lilies in the pond, and the one variety has been blooming for a few weeks. The buds stay tightly furled until late in the day, and then they pop open for a [...]

The bell rang one last time today, to usher the school doors closed and the summer doors open.
The students actually finished on Monday. Tues and Wed were retakes and reteaching for a few students, but mostly it was cataloging textbooks and getting grades checked and uploaded and exams graded. It was indexing equipment and getting [...]

So here is cookbook post number 2.
I was given several cookbooks at a kitchen shower nearly nineteen years ago as a bride to be. I got the classic Better Homes and Gardens, and the classic Betty Crocker, circa 1989/1990. (I also got 2 homemade cookbooks, recipes compiled by the invitees of the shower. Very enjoyable!) [...]

which cookbook would you take?
I have a large collection of cookbooks. Some are my mothers/grandmothers. Some I recieved as wedding presents at my kitchen shower. Others have found their way to me through gifts from inlaws, siblings, and children. Some have been gifted to me when others move or downsize their collection. And over time, [...]
What a fabulous weekend….

There is a lightness to my being, in spite of being incredibly busy.
The weekend consisted of the usual things.. laundry, grocery shopping, house cleaning. Enough to fill a weekend with. But as usual, there were baseball tournament games and birthday parties and end of year potlucks crammed on top. But it was okay. We flowed [...]
