… I'd go back and throttle myself. We randomly decided to watch a video tonight from a 1993 trip to Canada, and I was almost in tears by the end. How could I have known 15 years ago that in future years I wouldn't care about the scenery, the endless videos of loons, while my…

As long as I'm clipping from my favorite cooking blog… I've never met a lasagne I didn't like, but this one is so fresh and light – not adjectives normally used for lasagna.

In summary, here are some photos showing what we accomplished on Miss Janie's house during the week: Outside – Monday On the outside of the house, we removed the old siding from around the bow window, wrapped and trimmed that whole wall and fixed the window, painted the new siding on the porch,…
Today when I woke up, I could see I wasn't feeling any better, and possibly worse, so I just stayed in bed. Nikki brought me hot tea and toast from the dining hall, and more Vitamin C packets to drink. It was kind of sad watching everyone go off to their work days, and I…
Tarantos1 One of our household rules has always been that you can't play if you didn't work – meaning if you're too sick to go to school/work/whatever during the day, then you're too sick to play ball / go out / whatever later on. So since we'd been planning all week to go out to…
Wow, when I woke up today I could barely move. Fever, chills, stabbing pains in my head. I was feeling perfectly fine even as late as 10:00 last night! I got up anyway and shuffled into the dining hall for some hot tea, which I drank in a semi-conscious state with my head in my…
