Sunday 7/31 6 am and I am awake. That is just so odd. The idea was to say we were leaving at 8 am and to plan on actually leaving at 8:30 am. This is more like it. I can actually function within these reasonable parameters. The Menke’s beat the Koo’s at camp take-down by [...] 
Friday, 7/31/2011 There is something about waking up in North Sterling State Park Campground that reminds me of a parking lot. A nice parking lot. But still, a general parking lot feel. And it is early! Jan the RacKOOn was rustling around the inside of their van, parked about six feet from our heads. She [...] 
It is still 7/29/11 and we are still barely out of the driveway. As I mentioned, the plan was to leave at 5 am and caravan with the Koo’s. But since we left almost an hour late, and since they live almost an hour south of us, they had a healthy head start on us. [...] 
Friday, 7/29/11 We begin. On the road at 5:50. Were shooting for 5 am but who were we kidding? The cooler needed to be packed, which always takes more time than you think, regardless of the fact that I had everything ready to go inside bags inside the fridge and freezers. I don’t know [...] 
Garden Tomatoes. Can you ever have too many? Yes and no, is what I say. Yes, if you are buried under mounds of work and untended-to yard and garden chores. No, if you have all the time in the world. Like my kids seem to have… nevermind. I am told it is a bad [...] 
Thank you God, Thank you friends. Thank you, thank you. Morgan walked away from this car accident unharmed yesterday. Is it me, or is that a miracle? I’m so thankful and so grateful and so… zombie-like. I feel like I am walking in a dream underwater. We don’t know what happened. She remembers nothing. [...] 
May 20-something, 2008 – June 20, 2011 I’ve been trying to write this post for weeks now. I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since she died. In some ways, this has been my hardest animal loss because it was so unexpected and final. Most of our cats just disappear. We never know [...] 
It’s been — what? Two weeks? Three weeks? Did you miss me? According to my loving and supportive brother, there is likely no one out there anymore TO miss me. And that’s, well… that’s totally understandable. And I’d have to say it’s hard to believe there was ever anyone in the first place, so it’s [...] 
That is the question. A question, I hope, that I have answered, since we are now actively eating them. No one has died. No one has even gotten a stomach ache. So, hopefully we’ve ruled out botulism. I’m sure that inspires you not. But, who knows. You sit here reading this blog, don’t you? [...] 
(Insanity as in asparagus.) As I was working in the garden this weekend — planting almost the remainder of the seeds — it occurred to me that the date was June 5th. Or 6th. I’m still not sure of the date because Charlie was using my watch this weekend to referee a soccer game [...] |
