Five (+1) On The Day After Friday
I was on the run all day yesterday and the only chance I had to do my Five on Friday post (3rd edition) was as I was climbing into bed last night, but I would have had to do it on my iPhone and there was no way that was happening. So I’m changing things…
Read MoreDid You Say 2011??
I’m having a hard time conceiving of the notion it’s 2011. I know I say this every year, but where the heck did the last twelve months go?? As far as years go, 2010 was a pretty good one for us. Taylor saw the most milestones – turning 18, graduating from high school and going to…
Read MoreThankfulness – Day Twenty-Two
I have a lot to be thankful for today. We had our Thanksgiving dinner this evening because Katie is getting her wisdom teeth out tomorrow. I’m thankful I have both my kids home this week. I’m thankful for great friends. I’m thankful for my kids’ friends. I’m thankful that I enjoy cooking a big dinner…
Read MoreIt’s All About The Boobs – Part I
I know, I know. It’s been two weeks since I tantalized you with the promise of three boob stories. Sorry to leave you hanging. [*snort* That made me think of the old song I used to sing to my mom, “Do your boobs hang low…” But I digress.] Without further ado, here is part one…

Thanksgiving vacation is quickly coming to an end. Five days in a row of sleeping past 8:00 will be a thing of the past until Christmas break. Tomorrow will be the beginning of just another week and life will resume its routine. Our friends, the Stenmans, invited us to share Thanksgiving with them since we…
Read MoreThe Neighborhood Street Walkers
Every morning as I leave for work I pass the neighborhood women, and the few men, who stand on the corner after walking the streets. Men and women of the oldest profession. Parenthood. “But Jenster, people don’t get paid for being parents so it can’t be a profession.” Au contraire, mon frere. Parents may not…
Read MoreWhidbey Island: A Photographic Tour – Island Living – Saturday: Coupeville
I hope you haven’t forgotten about Whidbey Island because this blogger certainly hasn’t. I had only gotten through Friday in my Whidbey Island Photographic Tour series. My intention was to post all of Saturday today, but I only got through half of it. Hopefully I’ll get the rest of Saturday posted this weekend. And hopefully…
Read MoreWhidbey Island: A Photographic Tour – Island Living – Friday
Following our adventurous morning on the beach we all kicked back at the house for a while – napping, reading, whatever – and then prepared to go into town. I think we clean up purty good. Gretchen drove us to the quaint town of Langley. We made dinner reservations and then explored up one side…
Read MoreWhidbey Island: A Photographic Tour – The Beach
As I mentioned in my last post, I took over 1200 pictures. Some great, some horrible, most tolerable. Don’t worry. I won’t share them all. That would be like going to great Uncle Horace’s house and watching his vacation slides. Great for insomniacs, bad for blog readers. I am going to break them up, though.…
Read MoreThe Party’s Over…
Last night I caught the red eye out of SeaTac for a non-stop to Philly where I landed around 7:00 this morning. Which was 4:00 AM to my Pacific Time Zone adjusted self. Thankfully I have nothing to do today other than sleep, readjust and download over 1200 pictures Precious blessed me with. Not 1200…
