Agribition Supervision

With my criminal record check approved, I was off to be a parent chaperone for Sasha’s class visit to Agribition today. (Good thing it was approved as I had a few moments of “Oh-oh – that’ll get you on a list!” during the day – from accidentally leaving the house with my fly down to […]

Saturday Snap – A Day in the Life

I was off on Friday and had a busy day… 5am – Charlie wakes us up. Years ago, 5am used to be the time I went to bed but not anymore! 6am – watch “Stutz” on Netflix with Shea. Wonder if therapy is easier or harder if you’re rich and famous. 8am – drive Pace […]

Good thing the pandemic’s over or else I’d worry about this shortage of children’s medicine! (Funny story – we’re out of kids’ meds at home too and Sasha’s been sick a lot lately so Shea asked the pharmacist and managed to snag a mini-bottle of kids’ Tylenol. Then we got home and didn’t see it […]

Saturday Snap – Introducing Our New Dog!

Charlie Echo, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Charlie is his first name and yes, the most obvious name for a King Charles Spaniel (but maybe the only name that could get four-way agreement in the family.) Echo for a lake near where he was born. (And if you’re going full Military Alphabet, I guess we […]

It Finally Got Us! (aka “Do I Have Covid?”)

It’s a very informal sample but through social media posts, talking to work colleagues and other family and friends, I’ve noticed a big increase in the “I’ve avoided it for 2.5 years but it finally got me” reports of people getting Covid. Our family is no exception – after two and a half years where, […]
