New Beginnings
So the big day this household has been waiting for has come and is almost over. First Day of School, 2015. Ours had two phases. Maki, who not only was ready for the carpool by 7:30, had already showered by the time I got up at 6:30.This early rising thing was new to the both of us, and I…

The Big Surprise
Saturday was a very special night that I had been looking forward to for several weeks. But this last week was the one that myself and a few other friends fully threw our intention into. A Surprise 40th Birthday Party for our dear friend Jen. Ben, her boyfriend of five years (or is it seven?) was…

Shoelaces
It’s been said that everything you need to know, you learn in Kindergarten. I beg to differ…there are some very important things you learn BEFORE Kindergarten. Kids are so much smarter than we like to admit. Justine mastered the art of tying her own shoes this morning. Let it be said it was not without tears…

Summer’s Out for School…
I keep telling myself if I can get through this week, I can do anything! It’s Wednesday, Hump-day, actually EVENING now, so I’m staring to feel pretty empowered. I haven’t lost it yet. Well, truthfully, based on your definition of “it”, I may have once or twice. Without the car transitions and borrowing a car and paying for…

Amazing Grace and Ladybugs
Susan Logie texted me on Saturday, telling me they had a musician friend staying for the weekend who wanted to join them in a Sunday Morning Service at Mesa Verde with Vernon and the gang. We have been so moved by their frequent visiting the past couple of weeks, but Chris is going back to work…

Car Talk
I realized this weekend that something in me has changed for the better. The way I experience situations that might have once seriously shaken me up has changed. I suppose I’ve gotten tougher, but I find that peace and sometimes even clarity of focus comes into play when there is some sort of minor upset. Everything is…

A Toast to Health
I bought these tea towels yesterday. Not are they covered with excellent health advice, but its all scrawled out in Vernon’s Amatic font. I see his free fonts printed on unexpected surfaces all the time, but I thought this was especially symbolic: his own font is being used to tell us how to be healthy. It’s like a note…

A Kind of Homecoming
Big Day! Justine’s been asking if its “tomorrow yet” for the past two weeks. The day that Maki comes home. Both of them noticed that the other had grown taller. I forgot to check his height against mine at the airport, and as soon as we got to the house, he was off to the hills…

All in a Tuesday Morning
Mike came up with his PEMF mat again this morning. I’ve been asked a lot of questions about it, and I can’t explain exactly how it works but it does seem to be helping Vernon get more comfortable. I understand a little about the frequencies and cellular oxygenation, but truthfully, I don’t care yet how it…
