Emotional Goodbyes
So I called Eden to go over her flight itinerary for tomorrow and found her sobbing. I couldn't understand her at first but she repeated that the students are having a big group goodbye and that everyone is crying. She d… -
Bitter Sweet Apple Butter
Remember this dog?This is Apple, a chihuahua that we rescued from our local animal control. Although she looks absolutely vicious in this photo, for the most part, she has always been a very sweet dog, hence the "sweet"… -
Shaving for beauty
In my vanity, I managed to shave off half an eyebrow this week. It's like a sign, the half brow. A sign of my idiocy; although, I know most people won't realize that it was my own errant hand that swiped the brow.You're … -
Solitude, or Not
This evening, as the sun slowly vanished behind the trees, the dogs and I lounged on the back porch. I had prepared a Spanish tortilla for one, Halie-style, with tomato slices drizzled in olive oil and vinegar and treate… -
Goings On
It seems there's always an excuse why not to get a job. The latest includes Mitch's approaching 25th high school reunion. It seems an interuption is always on the horizon. Mitch, having years of employment with the Navy … -
We've Made Contact
Eden called when I was at the store earlier and spoke to Mitch. She was headed off to dinner with the group. At first, I thought I was going to have to be satisfied with his relayed message that she was having a great ti… -
Quiet around here
No word from Eden since arriving at the conference. I'm sure she's having too good a time to check in with Mom. Mitch leaves Tuesday for a couple of weeks, so we're doing last minute things around here. Hopefully, I'll h… -
Missing the Obvious
Apparently, I'm having a cookie problem. This entire day, I was unable to "log in," as every time I did, I was told I was locked out. But apparently, I was already logged in; this phantom page was just haunting me while … -
Sign-in confusion
I just wasted five frustrating minutes trying to sign in to this xanga account. I was prompted to reset my password, and when I did, it said I had the original password wrong. Around the merry-go-round I went for a few m… -
Final Count Down
Only a couple more days until Eden is off to the leadership conference. Believe it or not, we are still making final preparations, making sure she has everything she needs, having her hair done, etc. I think, it's finall… -
Father's Day
Hoping to make today special, I hopped out of bed this morning to let the dogs out and make breakfast. Finding the bacon long gone and eaten, I grabbed the pork chops from the freezer and set them to quick thaw under war… -
Upside Swing
Some friends of ours from when we lived in Rota might be moving to Virginia Beach. Of course, this is the second time and the second set of friends that have contemplated the move here, but the first decided to take a jo… -
Countdown to Conference
Today, Eden received an email from Erin Updegraff regarding Eden's conference. Here it is for your benefit:Hi Eden! As the Program Director for the NSLC’s Inside the Arts program, I thought I would send yo… -
Xangan Meet ups
Fellow Xangan in town, I'm off to meet her for lunch. It seems we have some things in common, too (where our other halves work). Pretty cool.We should have a method of recognizing when we meet each other (Girl Scouts of… -
2007 Prom
Eden had me spinning all last week getting ready for this prom. She found it all quite stressful herself, but she came out well in the end and was quite excited to be going. Here she is with her date for the evening. Ede…
