Today I celebrate international Left-Handers' Day as a proud member of that community. My dad is left-handed so I didn't notice I was a minority until I broke my wrist in third grade gym class.

There’s no pill for that

I was privileged just now to experience one of the marvels of spring. The potpourri of colorful flowering trees often takes my breath away, yet tonight the setting sun added a rare layer of enchantment. Just as I topped a hill driving home down a familiar street, the orange rays alighted on one of those … Continue reading There’s no pill for that

Cousin twins first grade concert was a blast! They sang ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’—same timeless elementary concert song I sang in third grade. 🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵❤️❤️
Thirty-nine years ago today we were naive young things thinking taking on the world was no big deal. Older, wiser, blessed to still be taking on the world together, which it turns out is a really big deal after all. God is good.
First Annual Cousin Valentine’s Day Party in the books. Too busy to get pics of the cousins, but grabbed a couple shots of our kids on the way out for a special date night.
Happy birthday weekend to these two old souls. Proof positive that you can fall in love for real at 13.
Fantastic one-on-one times with three of our six little monkeys recently. 🐵💙💖🥰
Almost recovered from five park days and a beach day. Thanks for letting us tag along @ebates615 and @sf.bates! We had a great time making memories!
