I am sitting in my car as I write this. I'm parked in the back lot of the shopping plaza where Charlie's driving school is located. He's out on his first on-road driving lesson with an instructor. He's been driving plenty with Christian over the past few months. Christian says he's a good driver but … Continue reading Wednesday, March 17, 2021
Lately, after dinner, Charlie asks me in the most teenage boy way possible, "You going to do your daily BLOG?" And I say "Yes, I am." Tonight he added, "What are you gonna write in your daily BLOG?" And I thought about it for a bit, "Well, maybe I'll write about today when I went … Continue reading Tuesday, March 16, 2021
I love Irish soda bread. I love it in the same way I love scones. I'm not a big on sweets but I do love a slightly dry, not so sweet baked good. No one else in my house likes Irish soda bread. So that means I buy it at the grocery store and I … Continue reading Monday, March 15, 2021
I spent a couple of hours cleaning this morning. I really don't like cleaning. But, who does, right? I will procrastinate every damn time. But, when it's done, I am so happy. I love the feeling of a clean house. Christian went down to the pond first thing with Mike and cleared the snow off … Continue reading Sunday, January 31, 2021
One of those days where you just feel off. I think it's something in the air. Normally spacey me became twice as spacey. I'm getting better at accepting these days happen. Old Pam would've beat up on herself. Wes is back in school after the long weekend, Charlie still doing school from home. Our town … Continue reading Tuesday, January 19, 2021
I walked around the farm today, along the brook and up through the fields. I visited the goats too. The weather has been warm for January in Massachusetts - 30's for the most part. A little blessing in these crazy times. Wes was home from school today as his test didn't come back in time. … Continue reading Friday, January 15, 2021
An odd day. Wes stayed home from school because he wasn't feeling well. This meant a trip to the Covid testing site, as he won't be able to return to school until he has a negative test. He was perfectly fine by lunch. I'm not feeling the greatest, and it's likely just too many consecutive … Continue reading Thursday, January 14, 2021
How is it that I've woke up, on my own, at 4:00 am exactly two days in a row? I'm serious. How does that happen? There was a sweet pink sunrise this morning when I went outside to bring the trash down to the road. Charlie sat down in the recliner after dinner. Gracie knows … Continue reading Wednesday, January 13, 2021
I had a nice conversation with the cashier at the grocery store this morning. I was buying quark. Ever heard of it? I hadn't until last week. It's like yogurt but not tart. She had learned about it as an exchange student in Norway and told me a bunch of different ways she's seen it … Continue reading Tuesday, January 12, 2021
The news is so bad. It's so very bad. We're witnessing a failure of two branches of our government. We are in the midst of the worst of the pandemic. I don't know who to be more angry with. But I don't let myself get angry. I've seen what anger does. We've lost our way. … Continue reading Monday, January 11, 2021
