My Visitors

This Makes Me Happy

spending a Sunday afternoon visiting with dear girlfriends
children building forts and sleeping in them
summertime
Leaving special treats for my family as I skip out of town
weddings, baseball, being a mom
when all my children are home
an evening constitutional with Emily and Oreo
the smell of baseball season
getting all of Matt's attention
a rainy day run
Zumba class
flowers from Matt
a nap
a sunny day after a week of fog
taking Oreo on a walk
skiing with a girlfriend
getting enough sleep

What color of make-up do you wear?

Emily takes gymnastics lessons. We've missed a few classes this summer and so last week we went to a make-up class. I was worried that Emi might not participate in a different class where she didn't know the other students, but she was so excited to go to class. She did great and willingly did everything that little gymnasts do. After class, we were walking hand in hand to the car and she asked me, "Mom, when do we get to put on the make-up?" I laughed but also felt bad because I knew then that she had been so excited because she thought she was going to a "make-up" class.

From C.S. Lewis

An unliterary man may be defined as one who reads books once only.

The sure mark of an unliterary man is that he considers"I've read it already" to be a conclusive argument against reading a work...Those who read great works, on the other hand , will read the same work ten, twenty or thirty times during the course of their life.

Oh What Do You Do in the Summertime?

Mr. Heron came to visit today.

10 Games to Go

We only have 10 games left of our baseball season and what a great season it has been. It may never get better than this. Good times, good times. Scott pitched a winning game last week, went the whole game and threw 103 pitches (ouch!). Doug's team won league and he'll be the starting pitcher in this week's tournament championship game. Thomas is playing for the "Boston Red Sox" with his little league team. In his last game he walked to get on first, stole second, stole third and stole home with a nice slide (only in little league). It's been so fun to have Karin home in the cheering section. All the boys want her there to watch and of course she is the transportation to after game ice cream celebrations. It's so cool to have an older sister. Atta Babe!

Top Ten Ways You Know It's Baseball Season

1. We are never home.
2. Most meals come from the crockpot.
3. Everyone is smiling.
4. My trunk is packed with water, gatorade, snacks, folding chairs and a blanket.
5. There is a trail of sand from the garage to the boys bedrooms.
6. We attend triple-headers on three different fields.
7. My camera is in my purse.
8. Anticipation for a "great game" runs high.
9. Everyone has a farmer's tan.
10. The washing machine runs nonstop.

Books I Read This Winter

Things I Miss About Karin

I miss talking on the phone 3 or 4 times a day.
I miss her chocolate, oatmeal, peanut butter cookies.
I miss the smell of perfume in her bedroom.
I miss having help with dinner.
I miss having a companion for musicals and plays.
I miss that none of my clothes, shoes or jewery are missing.

Why do you blog?

Ripening citrus
Winter grass in the orchards
Hot chocolate
Almonds and pistachios
