Happy Birthday, Hot Wheels!
Is it possible that this dude is 5? (Let me amend that… this is him when he was a baby. He turned 5 today.) He’s having an awesome birthday so far, filled with lego and vehicles and books and, you guessed it – a hot wheels ramp. He’d been hoping for one for such …
Go Bandits!
It might not have made the top of the news hour for all of you, but the Silver Bandits played their final games of the year on Saturday. They did really well, making it all the way to the championship game before coming in second in their most injury-prone game of the season. I know …
Election Day Snapshots

Honey
Last month at the Alameda flea market I came up with a couple of finds. One of them was an old grocery store sign that I put up on our daughter’s bedroom door. Now everybody knows which room is hers. Just in case you couldn’t tell from the bright pink bathrobe and curtains. Honey …
