Flashback Friday — Time for a Cold One
Only Basil would crave a cold beer in the middle of a blizzard. This photo was taken in March 2003. Basil is standing in the middle of the street in front of our house (those are our neighbors’ homes behind him). I don’t know about you, but I find that seeing the chilly scenery is … Continue reading
Wild Things!
It’s starting to feel a little “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom” here in our neck of Old Greenwich. Just about every day one or two family of deer come to visit, and we have a staring contest for awhile. Some mornings I roll up the blinds at 5:30 to find a doe and her fawn … Continue reading
Good thing we have our priorities straight
Catherine presented me with a small bottle of Bath & Body Works’ White Citrus body lotion following her recent trip to the mall with Basil. “It’s for you. I think you’ll like it,” she said. And she was right — it has a fresh, summery scent, a nice change from the lavender I’ve been wearing. … Continue reading
Flashback Friday — Baby Love
July 4 weekend, 17 years ago. Back when I could choose the outfits … and when she would actually wear a hat. This is one of my very favorite photos (I took it!). She’s wearing one of two precious outfits the staff in the Old Greenwich Post Office chipped in to buy her. I think … Continue reading
They’ve got their eyes on me
I have a stalker. Two actually. One is quite a bit taller than me, and likely weighs twice as much as I do. Her accomplice is smaller, but no less intent on following my every move. What’s more, they are both stalking Catherine, too. And there’s nothing we can do about it. They are deer — … Continue reading
Happy Camper
I’m so envious of Catherine. Yesterday, she started her second year as a counselor-in-training at the ESF day camp here in Greenwich and she’s already having a ball. For this week at least, she’s with “mini-camp” — 12 3-year-olds! (She’ll get moved to other ages through the summer.) She spent yesterday having tea parties, packing … Continue reading
Our views from the road
You can’t make this stuff up. Driving home from a visit with my parents yesterday, we couldn’t catch a break on the roads. It’d been a long time since we were stuck in traffic en route to their upstate New York home or returning from it. That’s a real coup since the trip involves traversing … Continue reading
Flashback Friday — Star Power
The 14-month-old who lives next door has been spending weekend afternoons playing in his new kiddie pool. He wears a blue-and-white striped bathing suit and matching hat to splash in. In short, he is too adorable for words. Watching him is better than TV (even “Chopped“!). Naturally every time I see him out there filling … Continue reading
