All Together Now…

Posted on January 28, 2014 by Judy

So, long time no post. I feel guilty. I do. It wouldn’t bother me except that I’m supposed to be chronicling my grandchildren’s formative years. If I don’t do it, who will? Nobody, that’s who. It’s January, so obviously I … Continue reading →

Take Your Best Shot

Posted on October 5, 2013 by Judy

Posted on April 21, 2013 by Judy

Little Guys

Posted on March 9, 2013 by Judy

Posted on February 10, 2013 by Judy

I am having my house painted. I mean I am having my entire house painted, every room, every closet, every wall, every ceiling. And of course, once you commit to painting every room in the house, you notice all the … Continue reading →

The List in My Head

Posted on September 29, 2012 by Judy

I had the handyman here this week. I’ve been meaning to call him for some time. Ten, eleven years, I don’t know. It’s amazing how long you can live with broken stuff if it isn’t actually endangering your life. I … Continue reading →
