Our Solstice Celebration

Playing catch up blogger here!! Logan planned a solstice celebration as he stayed up all night on Solstice Eve in December.

Broc and I slept and got up to find that he had gathered food,candles, flashlight and blankets to head down to the docks and watch the sunrise.

A bit bleary eyed, he was so happy to have us join him on a cloudy December morning. We bundled up and tried to light some candles in the wind to no avail. Sunrise found us watching a fisherman close by in his boat no doubt wondering what in the world we were doing.

The sun rose behind the clouds but we were still happy to have made the trek. Home again, Logan burrowed under his covers to sleep.

Happy TWENTY!

I shared this story over on my Facebook wall last week on the actual date of our" 20 years since Broc (With no K) tracked me down".  I wanted to bring some photos from over the years here in case I ever turn this blog into a memory book.  It seems crazy that it's been twenty years because although we don't act like we've aged a bit, we now have five kids in their twenties!

A mushy long love story ~<3it span=""> Twenty years ago right about now I was at my desk at a little rental house In Orange Park, Florida. Brenna and Logan were 4 and 7 years old and already asleep for the night and I was working on an evaluation for work that was due the next morning. A message came acoss my computer (maybe the old AOL messaging?) and it said " Hi...This is Broc . Do you remember me?" I did remember him from when we had met briefly when we both lived in Austi…

New Year Happenings

Friends and Family........
...Brenna, Chelsea, Cailin, Logan, Garrett and Lane....



It's been the best two days of the year so far.....Our New Year Eve was spent with our friends, Shannon, Jack, Lane and Garrett, who live by us in their bus....We played some games, made some Champagne Margarita's and decided we like them best without the Champagne, and toasted the arrival of 2010 with some sparklers. Most of the teens stayed up all night and were still awake when I woke up on New Year's Day.

Brenna and Jack (who is 6) went on a date to see the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie and last night, Cameron Lovejoy came by to visit on his way back from a Phish concert in Miami. He and Brenna spent some time working on the Autodidact Symposium that Cameron is putting on in March in Columbia, South Carolina.


Broc volunteered to pick up some groceries for dinner and came home with a recipe for Piquillo-Potato soup which he made for us...with some fres…

Worth a Repeat.

While reading through some old blog posts, I decided this one from July 23, 2009, was worth a repeat. So once more.. "Just a Clean Kitchen...Or is It?


We had one of our usually busy days yesterday. I'd gone to an early morning yoga class, put finishing touches on our bathroom remodel, evaluated and gave suggestions to a 10 year old girl who wanted some help with her speech, had a call from a dear friend from Texas that I miss so much and talked 1 1/2 hours, visited with another friend and her son who came by so that Brenna could help her daughter learn to throw on the pottery wheel, watched Logan play a bit of Rock Band, danced at Zumba, dropped Logan off at his cousin's house, picked up a few groceries for dinner, watched my favorite show, "So You Think You Can Dance", picked Logan up during a commercial break, talked to Broc who is in Maryland at sales meetings all week and watched Brenna putting some finishing touches on some pottery pieces.

It was 10:00 …
