Like a Hamster in a Ball

The Butterfly had a blast at her friend’s house last week, rolling around the lawn in a giga ball.

She tried to talk me into trying it with her. I refused, of course. I said I was sure there was a weight limit. There probably is.

Truth? It looked a little nauseating.  And I don’t like small spaces or being out of control. I can handle being wrapped in seaweed, but encased in plastic? Um. No.

Damn. I really am getting old, huh?

I was perfectly content  standing around taking pictures of her smiling face and listening to her laughter. Being old and uptight works for me.

16 Hours in Lake Placid

This is the story of  a wedding, a road trip and finding direction. We set out at the crack of dawn to drive north on a damp icky September morning. It was actually 9:30, but it felt earlier because it was Saturday. We were on our way to a wedding, in Lake Placid. ON Lake […]

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

  I began researching colleges last year, when my daughter began her Freshman year of homeschooling high school. Does that sound a bit early? I feel that the more I know about college requirements for homeschooled students, the more effectively I can prepare my daughter for the admissions process.

Fostering a Love of Art

I clearly recall standing next to my father, in front of a painting titled Red Bird (not to be confused with The Red Bird, by Marc Chagall). It was a tremendous white canvas with a single pin sized […]
