with this baby I am craving citrus. it doesn’t really matter what kind, so long as it has that wonderful citrus-y smell and taste. and doesn’t cost too much.
Clementines have been the best bargain so far, and I have eaten my way through several pounds of them in the past few weeks. They are just so juicy and good. But now that winter is getting into gear the oranges and grapefruit are coming down in price, so I’ll begin to add a little variety to my snacking!

Daddy’s Girl

Emma has been loving her Daddy more and more, and now lights up for him as much as she does for me. It is so cute to watch her get excited when he gets home from work! Now if I can only teach her how to say “Da-da” ….

remembering

remembering

Mom has put up some remembrances from the memorial service ago on Gramma’s blog.

There are so many many more memories than what is written there. What we write or say can only scratch the surface. But we try. Because we want to remember. We want to enjoy the silly, the fun, the meaningful, the poignant memories and yes, even the sad ones.
Because remembering all those things heals. Remembering seems to help ease the pain and, somehow, it allows the joy to come in.
thinking about Thanksgiving

thinking about Thanksgiving

well, thinking about Thanksgiving dinner might be more accurate.

I’ve been jotting down ideas that sound good to me (still need to go over them with my mother- and sister-in-law and whoever else will be cooking). My list has been revised a few times as more “traditional” (read, my family always ate them) dishes are remembered. Such as lemon meringue pie. And cranberry Jello mold ………….. oh, yum.
And as I run across really yummy sounding dishes in recipe books or online. Like this one on Katie’s blog. Now that sounds like Thanksgiving breakfast to me!

Emma’s hair is growing.

When she was born she was nearly bald, but the hair was definitely red. Now her hair has gotten longer, and is finally starting to curl at the nape of her neck! I can hardly wait to be able to put little barrettes in it.

summer storms

summer storms

86 degrees F
74% humidity
heat index of 96 degrees F

Scattered showers…and isolated thunderstorms…will continue to develop and move to the northeast across the listening area through 4 PM. Along with lightning strikes…expect occasional wind gusts to around 45 miles per hour…and brief rainfall of up to one quarter of an inch…with isolated occurrences of three quarters of an inch. (copied from wunderground.com)

oh, the joys of Summer.
