Doctor Miracle, that is – an opera. An opera that I went to see, by myself because The Boy said he’d rather die than watch an opera. Actually, he said many things – some hysterically funny – but none that are suitable for public consumption via this blog. He’s a very naughty Boy. I’d toyed […]
Fun
Yes, Yes, We Know How to Party
With all of the everything that was last week (funerals, new water heater, work events, World Series, deadlines), I completely forgot to talk about the Third Annual Hayley House Party. Yes, we had a party. Yes, it was fun (of course!). Yes, we had to turn on the Texas Rangers World Series Game 1. Yes, […]
Friday Find
Baby Sister and I were out shopping for new outdoor chairs today when we found this: I emailed it to The Boy and said it was the best outdoor chair we could find. He said, Buy all of them that you can get. Looks perfect for our house. A beauty, isn’t she?
Another One Done
I almost forgot! With my reading of Harriett Tubman’s biography, I finished another 101 List item. Confession: Right now this is feeling like the never-ending list. Whew.

Though I checked out a physical copy at my local library, thanks to the University of North Carolina, you can read it […]
Today’s Plan
We’re off to work as book-selling volunteers at this event all day today: Source If you’re going, swing by and see us!
One a Day
Despite the unexpected happenings of August, I managed to accomplish another of my 101 list goals: Take a photo every day for one month. It’s just that several photos weren’t what I expected to be taking photos of. But that’s just the way life is, and you can’t edit real life to be what you […]
Out of Control
It’s craft chaos in the Hayley house. But at least Ben loves me despite the mess. The Boy isn’t so sure.
Good Stuff, Indeed
I’ve just finished the most wonderful biography about one of my favorite actors, Cary Grant. Written by his only child, Jennifer, Good Stuff captures the essence of the man. And what a man he was!
Oh So True
I’m finishing up my scrapbooking and came across one of my favorite travel signs ever. So classic.
