Maybe I should call this “a perfect burger”, because I’m sure to revise my definition of this over and over again this summer. But here is the recipe for my latest creation. I should mention that I don’t really measure anything when I cook, so adjust quantities to suit your tastes. 2lbs burger 2-3 Tbsp BBQ […]
Another book club read was Room, by Emma Donaghue. This was intriguing, but it’s not a favorite. It moves slow early on and then I thought it ended without resolving my curiosity about the characters and their situation. It definitely made me think about about some of the things we take for granted in life, […]
The transformation of what was once our office into the new nursery has begun. We cleared the room out, removing all of the furniture and random items that had collected in the room. While the room that was once designated the office was being transformed, the need for a work area was not. So our […]
This weekend was the first official (by my terms) weekend of spring. The weather was beautiful, with no rain and temps in the 70s and 80. I had nothing planned. The weekend agenda was wide open.

Vegas really impressed me, in part because I had such low expectations, but more so because it is so visually stimulating. It’s […]
I just read this one for the book club, and it was a fabulous read. Anyone else I’ve mentioned this to has said how sad the book and movie are. I beg to differ. There are definitely some sad parts, but I think the book overall is inspiring, joyful, and insightful. It’s a great window […]

So, we’re taking pictures of the baby bump as it grows. Here is the update from week 13. Just getting started.
Mom and Dad treated themselves to a month in Ft. Myers this year and we worked it out so the whole family could spent a long weekend together. We all enjoyed seafood, sunshine, and gorgeous sunsets each day. We enjoyed a trip down memory lane at Lovers Key. That is where Dan proposed to me […]
