I won’t need to narrate these pictures much … They show happy cousins at the beach. I wish there were seven more here. What a perfect day it was! I was finally able to take off my stocking cap and yellow sweatshirt! My blood is used to the hot desert. There were some dare [...]
The Nordquists enjoy one last bit of fun on the Go Karts before heading home for the 4th of July celebration at Warren’s. The pictures are self explanatory. Luca barely qualified to go alone and I love how she is stretching her legs to reach the pedals. She did a pretty good job; only [...]
In spite of the rain, or maybe because of it, we went to the Walmart in Aberdeen. We took our shopping list: turkey slices (check), ham slices (check), eggs (check), milk (uh oh, don’t check), hot dogs (check), buns (check), potato salad (check), grated cheese (check) tortilla chips (check), black beans (check), produce (uh oh [...]
The last two nights I have been making Valentine’s with two of my grand daughters. It has been two nights full of giggles, glue, scissors, stickers, and paper and I think they have turned out remarkably well! Don’t tell a certain someone that this is his … I want it to be a surprise! I [...]

I wish I would have started sooner … I didn’t think about it until I was at my daughter’s in Auburn, Washington … towards the END of our trip! She mentioned she wanted to make some “Things” for her family for Christmas so I helped her. Then I started thinking of others in the family [...]
This is our celebration week … Our 43rd anniversary and Lynn’s 66th birthday. I can tell we are older by how we celebrated. Year’s ago our anniversaries included a huge vase of beautiful roses and a quiet, romantic dinner. This year allergies have called a halt to the beautiful roses and heartburn has taken away [...]
I spent the evening browsing through family blogs … my kids and the nieces and nephews … What fun! It brings back so many memories of raising my own family when I read the clever things the children say and the struggles the mothers have to keep everything under control. Sometimes it doesn’t seem very [...]
1. Six quilted advent calendars by Dec 1,2008. Shoot, I wasn’t specific enough on that one. If I meant buy the material for six quilted advent calendars then heck yeah, check. If I meant packing up the material in a bin with the pattern in November so I wouldn’t have to look at it in [...]
