Halloween Kitties and other shenanigans
Wow, it’s been a long time since I last posted. No internet in our new residence has posed more of a restriction than I thought. So here’s the mini-update: J and I rented a place in San Diego– YAY! We went to Disneyland for 3 days for my birthday weekend (first time he’s spent my…

September rains
Well, I’m sitting in a coffee shop to access wifi and generally realizing that during moves I drink way too much coffee and tea and whatever else I get at coffee shops. Probably not great, but wifi is awfully helpful. We got places to stay lined up in California (including four nights in Anaheim!!) until…

A Kind of Nostalgia
I know it’s a little early still, but today I found myself feeling nostalgic for a place I haven’t left quite yet and finding that small, insignificant things are making me a little sad. Breakfast, for some reason, brought back a flood of memories from the first two weeks that we lived here, having breakfast…

North woods trek
Thursday and Friday, J and I took a road trip to the north woods of Minnesota and the town Of Ely (pronounced Ee-lee). We saw a lot of beautiful countryside and visited a couple of wildlife centers. We also stopped at the Dorothy Molter Museum, a woman who lived in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area…

Photos from E’s visit this month
What’s this? Two posts in one day? Oh, my! Actually it’s just an update to let you know I’ve got over 100 new photos posted over here from my sister’s visit earlier this month. They’ve got captions and everything! Ooooooh! (Also, all the other photos are way more flattering, but these entertained me.)

Time keeps on slippin’
I don’t have much to say but I realized I hadn’t updated in a while and thought I’d poke in here for a minute with a general update. I’m about to be traveling a lot, here and back again, for the summer. Well, for most of the foreseeable rest of the year, actually. We’re going…
