    Fine Arts Friday: Birthday happenings

    Fine Arts Friday: Birthday happenings

    Today is MTG’s birthday, and he’s taken the day off.  We’re going to see the decidedly unfine-artsy “Star Trek: Into Darkness.” Then we’ll probably take the kids to the nature preserve or something similar, and I’ll make him a birthday cobbler.

    Today, my Sprite turns 11. As a little girl, she’s was a mini-Pigpen in sparkles and dresses. She loved to wear dresses, but I always had to make sure she had shorts underneath, because 5 minutes out the door and she’d be hanging upside down or turning cartwheels.  We use to call her Hobbit when […]

    A sister’s tribute

    Today my big brother turns 42. So now he officially has the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Figures. Growing up, I thought my brother was pretty much perfect.  He’s brilliant, ambitious, kind, and very likeable. It was irritating.
